EXIT (Pomni) Lyrics – GameboyJones

[Chorus: GameboyJones]
Why is it so goddamn hard to recognize my face?
Is this only just a dream?
Am I running out of time? Stressing all damn day
‘Cause this world’s not what it seems
Looking for an exit, exit, exit, exit
Before I abstract to my knees
Looking for an exit, exit, exit, exit
I won’t stop until I’m free, yeah

[Verse 1: Thrizzy]
Too far from what I’m used to
Won’t get used to living in this Digital Circus
Day, night, it doesn’t matter
I can’t get no sleep, I might as well be worthless
Play my part, and maybe I might find what I am looking for
A door to end this misery, just look at me, I’m nothing more
Than ones and zeros color codes, an electronic smorgasbord
A virtual insanity, it’s up to me to pull the cord
Make my way through the void, break me out of this shell
Is this all just a dream? Wake me up from this hell
Don’t remember my name, and nobody can help
There’s nobody to blame, all my cards have been dealt
There is no one way ticket
Back to where I belong
Nobody has the reason
Guess I’ll play along

[Chorus: GameboyJones]
Why is it so goddamn hard to recognize my face?
Is this only just a dream?
Am I running out of time? Stressing all damn day
‘Cause this world’s not what it seems
Looking for an exit, exit, exit, exit
Before I abstract to my knees
Looking for an exit, exit, exit, exit
I won’t stop until I’m free, yeah

[Verse 2: GameboyJones]
I’ve been in a bind, I don’t wanna play the fool
They say anything can go, but I’m playing by the rules
Life ain’t candy canyon kingdom if you can not keep your cool
But my color coded cranium, can’t comprehend the truth
That I’m stuck in this place, and I have nowhere to go
When I look at my face, I just glitch ’till I’m froze
What a beautiful fate when you lose all control
The abstract clap back when your spirit gets broke, woah
Looking for some light in the darkest places
Can’t control the fear ’cause it comes in phases
Numb me from the chatter, I need novocaine
I heard if there’s a will, there’s a way

[Chorus: GameboyJones]
Why is it so goddamn hard to recognize my face?
Is this only just a dream?
Am I running out of time? Stressing all damn day
‘Cause this world’s not what it seems
Looking for an exit, exit, exit, exit
Before I abstract to my knees
Looking for an exit, exit, exit, exit
I won’t stop until I’m free, yeah
