Lyrics
[Verse 1] Down on the avenue of borrowed light
They line up in the dead of night
Trading joy for another breath
Selling pieces they will never get back
[Verse 2] Screens above us call it progress now
A cleaner mind
A quieter crowd
But every smile in the glass looks wrong
Like the future learned the human song
[Pre-Chorus] And I can feel the wires hum
As the city feeds on what we become
[Chorus] In the market of days
They sell your best memories away
Trade your fire for a brighter cage
Say it is freedom but it tastes the same
In the market of days
Everybody is losing something named
And the more that you give to the machine
The less of you remains
[Verse 3] There is a child with a barcode wrist
Who has never known a world like this
A man with a jar full of summer skies
A woman who forgot her own disguise
[Verse 4] Police drones drift like metallic birds
Scanning every breath
Scanning every word
And I wonder if we built this place
Or if it built us in its shape
[Pre-Chorus] Now the neon starts to bend
Like the future never really ends
[Chorus] In the market of days
They sell your best memories away
Trade your fire for a brighter cage
Say it is peace but it looks like a phase
In the market of days
Everybody is losing something named
And the more that you give to the machine
The less of you remains
[Bridge] If I could reach behind the glass
I would pull the moment through the crash
But every hand that opens wide
Finds another ghost inside
[Chorus] In the market of days
They sell your best memories away
Trade your pulse for a perfect face
Let the system wash the soul away
In the market of days
We keep on calling that a better place
But under all the light
[Drop] [Outro] Trying not to fade
Trying not to fade away
In the market
In the market of days
Can you see me
Is there anyone left in the gray
Disconnected
Drained and perfected
Trying not to fade
The glass is cold
The story is sold
Fade
Fade
Fade away [Ending] [Instrumental] [End]
