Fluorescent Purgatory

Verse 1

Card swipes

The clock is bleeding red on the wall

Cold fluorescent humming in the empty hall

Coffee goes bitter

I am still sitting here

Chorus

Wait for the gold watch

Wait for the gray hair

Trading my blood for a little more air

We want to be seen

We want to be liked

While the rest of the world is burning on a spike

Post-Chorus

Burn it down

Yeah burn it down

Ooh

Apathy is a heavy crown

Verse 2

The screens are glowing blue in the dark

The trenches get deeper in the city park

Broken bombs and bitter blame

Check the filter

Upload the shame

History is dying while we post for the fame

The silence is deafening

Chorus

Wait for the gold watch

Wait for the gray hair

Trading my blood for a little more air

We want to be seen

We want to be liked

While the rest of the world is burning on a spike

Post-Chorus

Burn it down

Yeah burn it down

Ooh

Apathy is a heavy crown

Bridge

Maybe it's the pattern

Maybe it's the grind

Maybe it's the madness we leave behind

No one is looking

No one is helping

No one is waking up anymore

The sky is falling

The ground is shaking

The soul is aching for something real

Chorus

Wait for the gold watch

Wait for the gray hair

Trading my blood for a little more air

We want to be seen

We want to be liked

While the rest of the world is burning on a spike

Outro

Punch the card

Fold the hands

Slide into the dirt

Empty sands

Empty soul

Nothing left to see

Ooh

Is this all we’re meant to be
