Pixel Dreams

Headphones on, drowning out the dread,

Life on repeat, same lines I’ve read

Pixel dreams and broken seams,

A car that works to chase new schemes

Stuck in loops, but I need a key,

Gotta drive out, find the real me

Controller in hand, screen glow my only friend,

Thumbs dancing on buttons, hoping it won't end

Level up, escape—reality’s a trapdoor,

But the clock ticks loud, pulling me back to the chore

Headphones on, drowning out the dread,

Life on repeat, same lines I’ve read

Pixel dreams and broken seams,

A car that works to chase new schemes

Stuck in loops, but I need a key,

Gotta drive out, find the real me

Punching a clock, feels like punching my soul,

Cubicle coffin, it’s eating me whole.

Dreams of highways, sunsets, and soundtracks,

But my engine’s dead, wheels stuck in the cracks

Whispers in my mind, static in my chest,

“Is this all there is?” the question won’t rest

Gas tank’s empty, so is my resolve,

Need horsepower to make this life evolve

Headphones on, drowning out the dread,

Life on repeat, same lines I’ve read

Pixel dreams and broken seams,

A car that works to chase new schemes

Stuck in loops, but I need a key,

Gotta drive out, find the real me

Headphones on, drowning out the dread,

Life on repeat, same lines I’ve read

Pixel dreams and broken seams,

A car that works to chase new schemes

Stuck in loops, but I need a key,

Gotta drive out, find the real me
