[Intro: Andr3w J0hn]
[Verse 1: sphere merchants]
Quick save, quick load
Difficulty bitch mode
Lived inside of games since when you figured where the disc goes
Fits rage, fists close
Frustrated, you explode
You don't have an outlet that exists outside the digital
You're never engaging in experiencing physical
Reality, you're familiarity's pretty minimal
Gotta get ahold of your habits it's getting critical
Cuz every day your memory fades into an ever bigger hole
[Hook: sphere merchants]
Never say what you mean
You never mean what you say
And it's been eating you up
But you just push it away
So you just stare at a screen
Until you start to decay
Cuz the anxiety stops
Soon as you push on the play
Never say what you mean
You never mean what you say
And it's been eating you up
But you just push it away
So you just stare at a screen
Until you start to decay
Cuz the anxiety stops
Soon as you push on the play
[Verse 2: sphere merchants]
Put all of your hours into collectibles and quests
But all you ever unlock is the knowledge you're depressed
You can't feel your legs and you need catching up on rest
But if you're not distracted you're inactionably stressed
Doing drugs is literally better for your mind
Cuz at least the neurotransmitters are there when you are high
Do it all for dopamine you never seem to find
Wasted life on shit you don't even know if you like
[Hook: sphere merchants]
Never say what you mean
You never mean what you say
And it's been eating you up
But you just push it away
So you just stare at a screen
Until you start to decay
Cuz the anxiety stops
Soon as you push on the play
Never say what you mean
You never mean what you say
And it's been eating you up
But you just push it away
So you just stare at a screen
Until you start to decay
Cuz the anxiety stops
Soon as you push on the play
[Verse 3: Andr3w J0hn]
[Hook: sphere merchants]
Never say what you mean
You never mean what you say
And it's been eating you up
But you just push it away
So you just stare at a screen
Until you start to decay
Cuz the anxiety stops
Soon as you push on the play
Never say what you mean
You never mean what you say
And it's been eating you up
But you just push it away
So you just stare at a screen
Until you start to decay
Cuz the anxiety stops
Soon as you push on the play

my lyrics are about having an unhealthy relationship with video games, specifically using them more for escapism than actually enjoying the experience of playing the game.
