Pixelated Ghosts

[Intro]
[Verse]
Dashboard glows in D minor
Driving past the local diner
Headlights cut the velvet blue
Thinking back to me and you
Sawtooth waves begin to rise
Reflecting in my tired eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
The strip mall looks so cold
Stories left untold
I see the shuttered door
Where we spent it all before
[Chorus]
Neon pink and faded dreams
Ripping through the heavy seams
We were chasing high scores then
Never thought the game would end
Just a ghost in the machine
Living in a digital scene
[Post-Chorus]
Game over
Stay sober
Lost in the arcade light
Burning through the night
[Break]
[Verse]
Crumpled tickets on the floor
We don't play here anymore
Joystick clicking like a heart
Watch the pixels fall apart
Quarter on the glass display
Watch the summer slip away
[Pre-Chorus]
The static fills the air
I see you everywhere
But the screen is turning black
And you’re never coming back
[Chorus]
Neon pink and faded dreams
Ripping through the heavy seams
We were chasing high scores then
Never thought the game would end
Just a ghost in the machine
Living in a digital scene
[Bridge]
No goodbye
Underneath the indigo sky
FM pads begin to swell
Locked inside this hollow shell
You were my player two
Now I'm searching for the clue
[Hook]
Insert coin and start again
Remembering the way it was then
Insert coin and start again
Losing every single friend
[Chorus]
Neon pink and faded dreams
Ripping through the heavy seams
We were chasing high scores then
Never thought the game would end
Just a ghost in the machine
Living in a digital scene
[Post-Chorus]
Game over
Stay sober
Lost in the arcade light
Burning through the night
[Outro]
