Touch Grass v2

Lyrics

[Intro - atmospheric piano chords, subtle vinyl crackle, distant liquid DnB pads fading in]

[Verse 1 - melancholic female vocals, sparse piano melody, soft rolling liquid breaks underneath]
Late nights glow from that screen again
Your fingers fly, lost in the raid
I whisper your name, but you're miles away
Building your base while our world's starting to fade

[Buildup - rising tension, filtered piano swells, vinyl scratches layering in, breathy vocal echoes]
Hear me calling? Or is the chat too loud?
Headphones on, heart turned down...

[Drop/Chorus - liquid drum and bass groove kicks in, deep rolling subs, emotive female lead with reverb, piano stabs punctuating sadness]
You're addicted to Rust, can't pull you away
Nights turn to dust while I beg you to stay
Grinding for loot, but I'm losing you
In that pixel hell, what we gonna do?
Rust, Rust, tearing us apart
Your virtual throne's breaking my heart

[Verse 2 - intimate whispered vocals, chopped piano samples, vinyl scratches glitching softly, subdued liquid bass rolls]
I cook your meals, they go cold on the side
Wait for a respawn that never arrives
Friends in the clan, but I'm here all alone
Chasing your ghost through the server zone

[Buildup - intensifying hi-hats, warped vinyl scratches accelerating, piano arpeggios climbing, harmonized sighs]
One more game? That's what you always say
But dawn breaks, and you're still away...

[Drop/Chorus - full liquid DnB drop, sidechained piano pulses, soaring female vocals with delay tails, emotional ad-libs]
You're addicted to Rust, can't pull you away
Nights turn to dust while I beg you to stay
Grinding for loot, but I'm losing you
In that pixel hell, what we gonna do?
Rust, Rust, tearing us apart
Your virtual throne's breaking my heart

[Bridge - stripped-back piano solo, raw vulnerable female monologue, faint vinyl noise and distant echoes]
Wish I could log out, delete this pain
Join your world or make you feel the rain
But you're raided, griefed, always coming back
While I'm offline, heart under attack...

[Outro - fading liquid pads, slowing piano decay, vinyl scratches dissolving into silence, whispered vocals trailing off]
Rust... Rust... why won't you log out?
Log out... for me...
