The Detour

Just a short while ago
In the ever-glowing city's core
Something changed the way we live

Sentience sent to cybernetic simulation
Left all of our real friends on a cliff

So I stood in the way and thought to myself
Am I taking a detour or taking someone else?
Living is strange, and I'm nuts all about it
Isn't that what life's all about?

(1, 2, 3, 4)

15 seconds in, I'm unmoved
Let the whole world tune in to the groove
Taking someone else in by the knees
Red blood turns into a purplе breeze

I'm stuck and there's nobody around
So I'm by mysеlf, left to make a sound
And as much as I'd miss her if it wasn't for this
I'd still be wrong...

(I'll just keep writing my songs)

'Cuz I broke the padlock
Took a detour
Did some things I'd
Never before
In the summer
Not together
Don't drown me now

I'll sound from my siren
'Till I find a new island
Just to carry your hues, yeah

And if I never do find it
Guess atleast I did try it
If I fail, I'm not gonna be going any other way

You're not special, not divine
Not a star, you don't shine
But I wrote all this stuff about you
And for what it's worth
I never wanna let go of you

Just a short while ago
In the ever-glowing city's core
Found a neon rift to pure bliss

Sentience sent to cybernetic simulation
Left the city's glowing core adrift

So I stood in the way and thought to myself
Am I taking a detour or taking someone else?
Living is strange, and I'm nuts all about it
Isn't that what life's all about?
