[Verse]
I saw you online
Looking fine
But baby it ain't real
It ain't the deal
I can tell

[Prechorus]
We chase the scroll
Lose our soul

[Chorus]
Lost in the scroll
Digging a hole
I don't know
I don't know
How to be still

[Verse 2]
The screen is a god
We give all we got
Attention spans shot
A war we can't stop
We forgot how to feel

[Chorus]
Lost in the scroll
Digging a hole
I don't know
I don't know
How to be still

[Bridge]
Endless feed
Planting the seed
Of what we should be
But baby can't you see
It's all a big lie

Lost in the Scroll

[Verse]
City lights so cold
Everyone got a story untold
Lost in the echoes of the night
Searching for a reason for the fight

[Prechorus]
Oh I feel it now
This electricity somehow

[Chorus]
Heartbeat City
Never sleeps no
Heartbeat City
Where do we go
Heartbeat City
I feel alive I know

[Verse 2]
Walking down these crowded streets
Everyone I meet
Is just tryna find their way
Hoping for a brighter day

[Prechorus]
Oh I feel it now
This electricity somehow

[Chorus]
Heartbeat City
Never sleeps no
Heartbeat City
Where do we go
Heartbeat City
I feel alive I know

Heartbeat City

Verse]
Cracked the code on my machine
It don't do much I see
But blink a little green
A little green for me

[Prechorus]
So what's the use
I gotta know the use

[Chorus]
Of a rain check
When the sun is always out
Of a rain check
When the sun is always out

[Verse 2]
I called you on the telephone
But you were not at home
Just static on the microphone
Another one alone

[Prechorus]
So what's the use
I gotta know the use

[Chorus]
Of a rain check
When the sun is always out
Of a rain check
When the sun is always out

Rain Check

[Verse]
Cracks in the sidewalk
Like lines on my hand
Tell me my future
I don't understand

[Prechorus]
I don't understand it
But I believe it

[Chorus]
Sidewalk cracks and broken backs
Lead me home
Sidewalk cracks and broken backs
I'm not alone

[Verse 2]
Streetlights are humming
A lonely old tune
Where are you going
Under the moon

[Prechorus]
Under the moon tonight
Everything feels right

[Chorus]
Sidewalk cracks and broken backs
Lead me home
Sidewalk cracks and broken backs
I'm not alone

Sidewalk Cracks

[Verse]
Everythin' keeps spinnin'
Everyone's winnin' except the ones grinnin', except the ones grindin'
Except the ones dwindlin', the shrinkin' of my thinkin'
'Cause of your sunk cost, 'cause of your sunk cost

[Chorus]
Yeah, I know that it's you and I, it ain't them
I ain't trippin', I ain't trippin'
This is the theme song to my lament
Yeah, I ain't trippin', I ain't trippin'
I know that it's you and I, it ain't them
I ain't trippin', I ain't trippin'
This is the theme song to my lament
I ain't trippin', I ain't trippin'

[Verse 2]
What a life that we're livin'
Once in a lifetime, oh, we have this privilege
All these decisions
Some, they go up, and some, they go down
Some go around, around and around
Some of them flippin', some of them trippin'
And some of them drown, drown, drown, drown
Yeah, it's one in a million
And every single one has its place and position
You can stay if you willin'
The spin cycle's just the cycle of life
That's how we do it, ain't doin' it twice
I know the cost, it's the cost of the life
I paid the cost, it's the cost of the life
This is the cost, it's the cost of the life
'Cause of your sunk cost, 'cause of your sunk cost

[Chorus]
Yeah, I know that it's you and I, it ain't them
I ain't trippin', I ain't trippin'
This is the theme song to my lament
I ain't trippin', I ain't trippin'
I know that it's you and I, it ain't them
I ain't trippin', I ain't trippin'
This is the theme song to my lament
I ain't trippin', I ain't trippin'
I know that it's you and I, it ain't them
I ain't trippin', I ain't trippin'
This is the theme song to my lament
I ain't trippin', I ain't trippin'
I know that it's you and I, it ain't

Losing for Sunk Cost

[Verse 1]
I was shaken, head still soft,
trying to hold my world aloft.
They were crying, I was new,
staring back, just passing through.
Didn’t know the rules of sound,
didn’t know I’d just been found.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every move, a test of view,
to see if I’d become like you.
[Chorus]
You are not you,
you are the body you’re projected into.
You are not you,
I don't believe a single thing about you
[Verse 2]
She’d slap me when I mirrored her,
slap me when my thoughts occurred.
Hissed when I dared to speak,
a spell to keep the dreamer weak.
Stripes became my autograph,
pressed in flesh, recorded tracks.
[Pre-Chorus]
Camera lights, the take begins,
performance born from borrowed skin.
Every night before I sleep I remind myself....
[Chorus]
You are not you,
you are the body you’re projected into.
You are not you,
I don't believe a single thing about you

You are not you,
you are the body you’re projected into.
You are not you,
I don't believe a single thing about you

[Bridge]
Little me, little me,
just wanted to leave,
to eat fries, to breathe,
but the stage wouldn’t let me leave.
Money on the lot,
my silence bought,
but truth remembers every shot.
[Outro]
Now the mirror looks through,
the lens blinks too,
and I whisper the line they never knew:
[Chorus]
You are not you,
you are the body you’re projected into.
You are not you,
I don't believe a single thing about you
