Static in the Cycle

[Intro]
[Verse]
Fluorescent tubes begin to flicker
The bitter taste of cheap liquor
You’re scrolling through a curated life
Sharp as a digital knife
The dryer spins a heavy load
Your ego starts to erode
[Chorus]
Spinning in the static light
Losing focus in the night
We’re just pixels on a screen
Living in a hollow machine
Wash away the fake veneer
Nothing left to see here
[Post-Chorus]
Static light
Hollow night
Hold on tight
Out of sight
[Verse]
You post a photo of your shoes
Searching for some social clues
A candid shot that’s perfectly staged
Inside a velvet-lined cage
The detergent smells like chemical pine
Everything is perfectly fine
[Pre-Chorus]
The motorik beat goes on
Until the break of dawn
We trade a vacant stare
Like we were never there
[Chorus]
Spinning in the static light
Losing focus in the night
We’re just pixels on a screen
Living in a hollow machine
Wash away the fake veneer
Nothing left to see here
[Bridge]
I saw your profile yesterday
With nothing real left to say
You were standing by a fountain
Climbing an imaginary mountain
But here you are with bleach
Everything is out of reach
Is it exhausting to be intentional?
When your soul is purely conventional?
[Interlude]
[Verse]
The escalator swallows the crowd
The silence is getting loud
You’re building a brand in the steam
A low-resolution dream
Your identity is a 404
Spilled across the linoleum floor
[Chorus]
Spinning in the static light
Losing focus in the night
We’re just pixels on a screen
Living in a hollow machine
Wash away the fake veneer
Nothing left to see here
[Breakdown]
Cycle one
Cycle two
Nothing new
Just for you
Spin it round
Lose the sound
To the ground
Lost and found
[Post-Chorus]
Static light
Hollow night
Hold on tight
Out of sight
[Outro]
