Red Ring Error

Lyrics

Verse 1
I came up from the cracked-up screen
Red eyes in the black, you know what I mean
I grin through the static, I bleed in code
I eat your fear when the power explodes

I got a name that don’t stay still
I move like a curse through the whole damn build
You run one way, I bend that space
Leave your blue-boy world in a fucked-up haze

I don’t knock, I slip right through
I turn your safe little game to doom
Every loop got teeth in it, every hall got cracks
Every “game over” comes with my axe

(Yeah)
I twist your pulse, I wreck your track
I pull one soul and I don’t give it back

Pre-Chorus
Hear that hiss in the cable line
That’s me crawling through the dead-design
You blink, you freeze, then the walls go thin
And I’m already inside your skin

Chorus
Red ring, red ring, watch it burn
Sonic.exe, your turn, your turn
Run too fast, but I’ll still win
Red ring, red ring, let me in

Red ring, red ring, hear me laugh
I split your world clean in half
Say my name and the dark gets closer
Sonic.exe, the game is over

Verse 2
I’m the thing in the static smile
The glitch in the soul that waits awhile
I don’t just chase, I rewrite pain
Turn every safe lane into a death lane

I got a room full of broken frames
And every one of ‘em knows my name
Your friends go quiet when I arrive
I make the brave ones pray to survive

I leave red trails on the carpet lines
I bend the clock and I twist the time
You think you saw me, that’s cute, that’s lies
I’m the cold black cut in your pixel eyes

I take your courage, then I take your breath
I make a joke out of holy death
I’m the scream stuck deep in the wired groove
The devil in a speed-run move

(Oh shit)
You hear that laugh through the broken wall?
That’s me, baby, I own it all

Pre-Chorus
Hear that hiss in the cable line
That’s me crawling through the dead-design
You blink, you freeze, then the walls go thin
And I’m already inside your skin

Chorus
Red ring, red ring, watch it burn
Sonic.exe, your turn, your turn
Run too fast, but I’ll still win
Red ring, red ring, let me in

Red ring, red ring, hear me laugh
I split your world clean in half
Say my name and the dark gets closer
Sonic.exe, the game is over

Bridge
Now the room goes low
Just a pulse and smoke
I’m the flicker in the glass
I’m the cut in the throat of hope

No more save, no more light
No more “maybe” in the night
I was made from the wrong damn place
And I wear that fear on my face

Break
(Too late)
(Too late)
(Too late)

Final Chorus
Red ring, red ring, watch it burn
Sonic.exe, your turn, your turn
Run too fast, but I’ll still win
Red ring, red ring, let me in

Red ring, red ring, hear me laugh
I split your world clean in half
Say my name and the dark gets closer
Sonic.exe, the game is over

Red ring, red ring, lock the door
I’m right behind you, wanting more
I don’t die, I don’t leave
I live in the glitch you won’t believe
