Save Me

[Intro: ASTRSK*]
Can you save me? (Save me)
Find me where I lay before they take me (Take me)

[Verse 1: Shwabadi]
Yeah (Yeah), we've been searchin' trash
Just to earn our keep, I mean earnin' cash
On the ladder, bottom rung of working class
Think the world is evil, but its worse than that
If you learn the script and enter the cast
You just learn to live a predetermined path
Spend your days savin' for Birkin bags
But a spark misplaced could see it burn to ash
But we're all just cogs and we dance for the puppeteer
All the strings on our limbs getting stuck in gears of machines that'll run in our blood and fear
It's dirty work, but where the mud is smeared, they just wash their hands off with a flood of tears
There's no morals on the upper tiers, it's all fun and cheer as long as money clears
'Cause they never gave a damn 'bout me or you
Feed us fumes and bleed us dry until we're bleeding blue
They could blind the whole world with a neon hue
'Cause when they spend their time, they spend your freedom too
Wait, we can see this through
But a world's divided that don't see the truth
Like, read the room
You can say you hate them, but the fact remains you wanna be them too

[Chorus: ASTRSK*]
Can you save me? (Save me)
Find me where I lay before they take me (Take me)
Swappin' out the pieces to erase me (Erase me)
Am I still here? Did they replace me? (Replace me)
Can you save me? (Save me)
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, la-da-da-da-da-dum
La-da-da-da-da-dum

[Verse 2: anoravt]
Yeah, ayy
Say you're all tired of the system, workin' real hard, but repeatin' the rhythm (Uh)
Gettin' real far by keepin' tradition (Huh?)
Fiddling your thumbs while you dope 'til sickened (Huh)
Say you're too tired for resistance (Yeah)
But I won't start with 'em grieving a vision (Yeah)
Know I got heart 'cause I'm seeking a mission (Uh)
Middle fingers up, if it's broke, I'll fix 'em
Living every day, grabbing hold of a memory
So much that I pray that a throne is my destiny
Crownies getting paid like it's gold by the enemy
But I can't hate when my goal's their identity
I just want a legacy, priving I can make a good droid worth its empathy
Teaching kids to play with toys like it's therapy
Dressed in accessories
Whatever happened to "you can be anything"? (Ayy, ayy)
You cannot blame me, nah
Chasing happiness and get labeled as crazy, ha
More than a daydream, yeah
Shame romanticist their portrayal of safety (Yeah)
I credit a mascot, she raised me (Yeah)
Got friendship with someone who changed me
If ethics will work then just maybe
I'll play the part of the saving

[Chorus: ASTRSK*, & Nina Hope]
Can you save me? (Save me)
Find me where I lay before they take me (Take me)
Swappin' out the pieces to erase me (Erase me)
Am I still here? Did they replace me? (Replace me)
Can you save me? (Save me)
Can you save me?
Find me where I lay before they take me
Swappin' out the pieces to erase me
Am I still here? Did they replace me?
Can you save me?
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, la-da-da-da-da-dum
La-da-da-da-da-dum
Can you save me? (Save me)
Find me where I lay before they take me (Take me)
Swappin' out the pieces to erase me (Erase me)
Am I still here? Did they replace me? (Replace me)
Can you save me?
Can you save me?
