NPC 02:48
No control of where I'm going Stuck inside a set of pre-made options made for me All alone in a cyclone On and on I guess I’ll never be able to think freely I'm just a stepping stone to help you become what you need to be Exhausted every dialog option I feel I'm stuck on repeat Options I got I got I got no options Oh god my fucking life’s got me feeling like an NPC Like a side character to someone else’s story I don’t feel real I don't want to believe I don't belong in this society I exist to make you believe this is real It's all 1 & 0's behind this spinning wheel All alone with no one at home I'm just alive when someone needs me to be I've exhausted every last line Again and again on repeat Use me up until I'm spent Use me until I fucking die and just a fiber of my withered fucking soul rots in peace You abuse and use every person to gamify your life and get one up by treating the rest of us as your personal NPCs What comes around goes around

Bury me beneath the wires I’ll be a ghost in the machine I'm tired of living so long in this life I'm forced to play along Waiting for the day to escape from this grim routine To dissolve into the blue screen Where I can truly be free The system's suffocating Squeezing out my breath nothing left Logging on for keys to my death I’ll take refuge in the circuits I’m so ready to be done with this In this binary I'll find my peace Where zeros and ones offer sweet release Join the stream to end my suffering Leave this body behind as I hit delete In the internet's embrace I'll take the fall In the arms of the digital I'll surrender it all Transcending to the digital afterlife Disappear to become a hum in the wires In the glowing pixels my essence will thrive I'll upload into the currents forever alive I just have to die My salvation is online Leave my body behind I’ll have a better life

This addiction is vicious but inconspicuous I know most people wont notice if I just keep it hidden I traded real connections and affection for this infection Only to avoid introspection and self reflection Hours turn to days Friends and family fade I thought I’d be ok but my life’s slipping away I thought I could control it but it started controlling me Not gonna stop til it drains everything out of me Bloodshot eyes I can never sleep I’m staying up all night staring at my screen Spend so much time online I’m doom scrolling in my dreams I’m losing my mind and wearing down my body Can’t look away from the light It’s so hypnotizing The rest of my life means absolutely nothing I can’t put it down for the life of me My only hope is killing my battery

Tell me what you want I'll try to be the one We're spending way too long Talking on MSN Cutthroat from another pack of smokes Tough love, yea I always feel alone Everytime I see you I'm crushed cause there'll never be a timeline With us in love waste money to feel something I cut too deep to numbe the pain Sitting home, paying subs, you can take what you want All I need is your voice To persuade me

Synthetic euphoria Processed and wrapped in plastic Irresistible fabricated package Crafted with precision Unreal and artificial Shallow aesthetics A surface superficial Gotta put on my face for the audience Gotta shop myself around on the internet Gotta make my profile better than the rest Gotta push my limits never settle for less Gotta keep up an image gotta follow the trends Gotta market myself to the bitter end I hate it but i gotta go with the flow Subscribe Can you give me a follow This life is a bitter pill to swallow Every day leaves me feeling hollow Smiling for the cam but my heart feels numb I don’t know who i am what have I become Commercialize who I am into a product line Advertise a persona thats falsified I gotta live a lie just to survive In the name of profit Capitalize A price tag on my soul I’ll make your dreams come true Cheap and affordable A product of value Take control of me A puppet for your fantasy I’ll never be free But that’s my destiny Gotta get the dollar signs Doesn’t matter if you gotta lie What you need doesn’t always align with want you want but you gotta survive Monetize One way or another You gotta make it out alive Honesty integrity is getting me nowhere At this point I’ll do anything for money I don’t care Flex my morality I’ll sell out for anything I’m robbing myself to pay for everything It’s gotta be perfect I’ll never be worth it Hard work never pays off in the end I totally hate this I’ll never escape it I know I gotta circle back again

Another day Sitting here Typing my life away Each stoke another nail in my coffin Got nothing to lose I got nothing to lose Except time and my mind Sit down and unplug from all of it Dopamine tigger gunshot full of happiness I'm totally fine with all of it Completely wasting my time on the internet Online On time For my live-streamed funeral Online All the time Wasted it staring into the blue I struggle to find a purpose outside of this room Outside there's nothing for me to do Nothing to do I’m dying offline Online On time (the blue) Like & subscribe to my doom (the blue) Online No time (the blue) Wasted Wasted it
