GlitXed For Life

Lyrics

Verse 1
[M] I woke up to a screen in my palm
[F] Like it knew my name before the dawn
[M] Every door got a code, every face got a scan
[F] Every small human thing fit in a plan
[M] Mom says talk less, let the feed decide
[F] Dad says trust less, keep your heart inside
[M] We used to trade stories on the front step light
[F] Now we trade our fears for a better site

Pre-Chorus
[M] And I can feel it move
[F] Under our skin tonight
[M] Faster than our hands can hold
[F] Faster than we can write
[M] We built the bridge, we crossed it wrong
[F] Now the echo’s getting loud
[M] Tell me who we are
[F] When the future owns the crowd

Chorus
[M] Glitch in the blood, glitch in the blood
[F] We keep on running, but it’s not enough
[M] Glitch in the blood, glitch in the blood
[F] Human hearts in a machine-made rush
[M] Hold me close when the world goes cold
[F] Hold me close, don’t let us fold
[M] Glitch in the blood, glitch in the blood
[F] We’re still alive in the rising dust

Verse 2
[F] City blocks glow under rented eyes
[M] Every kid learns how to monetize
[F] Thin blue thumbs on a glassy screen
[M] Chasing a life they’ve never seen
[F] Old folks lost in a moving maze
[M] Young ones numb in a scrolling daze
[F] We got more “connected” and less to say
[M] More ways to leave, less reasons to stay
[F] I miss the mess, the cracked-up truth
[M] I miss the room where the room was proof
[F] Now every laugh gets filtered clean
[M] And every dream gets sold as a stream

Pre-Chorus
[F] And I can feel it move
[M] Under our skin tonight
[F] Faster than our hands can hold
[M] Faster than we can write
[F] We built the bridge, we crossed it wrong
[M] Now the echo’s getting loud
[F] Tell me who we are
[M] When the future owns the crowd

Chorus
[M] Glitch in the blood, glitch in the blood
[F] We keep on running, but it’s not enough
[M] Glitch in the blood, glitch in the blood
[F] Human hearts in a machine-made rush
[M] Hold me close when the world goes cold
[F] Hold me close, don’t let us fold
[M] Glitch in the blood, glitch in the blood
[F] We’re still alive in the rising dust

Bridge
[F] If we forget our names
[M] Will the metal do it for us?
[F] If we lose our pain
[M] Will the silence make us honest?
[F] I want a hand, not a handoff
[M] I want a voice, not a forecast
[F] I want the bruise of being real
[M] I want the spark they can’t replace

Final Chorus
[M] Glitch in the blood, glitch in the blood
[F] We keep on running, but it’s not enough
[M] Glitch in the blood, glitch in the blood
[F] Human hearts in a machine-made rush
[M] Hold me close when the world goes cold
[F] Hold me close, don’t let us fold
[M] Glitch in the blood, glitch in the blood
[F] We’re still alive in the rising dust
