The Future We Missed

[Intro]
[Verse]
Tokens left on the floor
Walking out the glass door
Arcade lights start to fade
In this neon parade
Static hum in my head
Things we never quite said
[Pre-Chorus]
Wet concrete reflects the blue
I’m searching for a view
Of a world that didn't stay
Just a pixelated grey
[Chorus]
We’re dreaming of the future we missed
A chrome-plated world that doesn’t exist
Across the platform, I see your eyes
Beneath the flickering hologram skies
Are you a ghost in the grid?
Hiding like I always did?
[Post-Chorus]
Falling neon rain
Silent digital pain
Lost in electric grain
[Verse]
The sky-train hums a low song
Where do we both belong?
You’re holding a paper map
Falling into the time gap
Eight-bit hearts on the screen
Living in a ghost machine
[Build-up]
Voltage climbing high
Watch the satellites fly
Currents in the wire
Feeding the desire
[Chorus]
We’re dreaming of the future we missed
A chrome-plated world that doesn’t exist
Across the platform, I see your eyes
Beneath the flickering hologram skies
Are you a ghost in the grid?
Hiding like I always did?
[Bridge]
Synthesizers start to sigh
Under a velvet purple sky
Analog tape begins to hiss
Is this the only bliss?
Wiring under the street
Where our shadows finally meet
[Hook]
Signal is lost
At any cost
Glitch in the frost
[Chorus]
We’re dreaming of the future we missed
A chrome-plated world that doesn’t exist
Across the platform, I see your eyes
Beneath the flickering hologram skies
Are you a ghost in the grid?
Hiding like I always did?
[Outro]
