about

A love song to Mr. Robot. (And also what my anxiety sounds like, most days.)

lyrics

I've been having such a freaky day
I got a nasty little virus burning up in my brain
Now the clock's running backwards, can't be late for the show
When you're all dressed up and nowhere to go

I was having just the weirdest dream
I was somebody else, torn apart at the seams
All the guns in the world, aimed at powerful men
Couldn't put all my pieces together again

And every time that I think I'm fine
I feel a chill, turn around to find
Someone's after me, gonna track me down
(Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now?)

Now I jump at shadows, freeze the frame
Every stranger says they knows my name
(Can you hear me now, can you hear me now?)
Will I lose my mind if I lose the game?

[ CHORUS: ]

"Hello Friend/Elliot," sometimes I feel like I don't know you at all
Every day, one look at you and deeper down I fall
You say we're gonna be gods together
You're my guiding star
"Hello friend/Elliot," baby I love you, no matter who you are

[VERSE 2: ]

I've been falling through the looking glass
Error code is running nowhere fast
Gotta burn all my memories, wipe and delete
How do I end the dream when the nightmare's in me?

The whitest rose, everything she said
All the blood that stains a wheelbarrow red
It's inside my brain, tearing up my head
And it's on my hands, won't come off my hands

And I look around for some solid ground
Where is my mind? 404 not found!
Now I got a glitch and I've had enough
(Cause I can't wake up, no I can't wake up)

Better watch my step, it's not over yet
When I'm by myself I am not alone
(Cause I can't wake up, no I can't wake up)
If I take your hand will you take me home?

[CHORUS x1]

[BRIDGE:]

I can't remember what I can't forget
I can't forget all I've lost and regret

(REPEAT VERSES OVER in "ROUND")

[CHORUS x2 until fade]
