Bleed
Original Poem
My screen is bleeding light
Tell me it’ll be alright
I’m smiling, to rip through the pain
One more tap, and I'll play it again
Drip, drip, drip, the feed scrolls down
Keep my head up now
Noise floats through the static
talking heads wax emphatic
Tick tock, time passes on digital clocks,
The pressure builds underground
Pulling blocks until the tower comes down
The Black Slab: a preview of impending collapse
And every soul just keeps scrolling past
Banking karma like crypto
Hubris leads to the crash
Algorithms deface the grave of honor’s past
Drunk on sugar-coated prophesies
wrapped in targeted ads
And beneath crusted fingertips
to the tremors, they fall, at last
My screen is bleeding light
Tell me it’ll be alright
Lyrics
My screens are bleeding light (bleeding light)
Tell me it’ll be alright (be alright)
I’m smiling, rip through the pain
One more tap, and play it again
My screens are bleeding light (bleeding light)
Tell me it’ll be alright (be alright)
My screens are bleeding light (bleeding light)
Tell me it’ll be alright (be alright)
My screens are bleeding light (bleeding light)
Tell me it’ll be alright (be alright)
I’m smiling, rip through the pain
One more tap, and play it again
Drip, drip, the feed scrolls down
Keep my head up now (head up now)
Noise floats through the static
talking heads wax emphatic
My screens are bleeding light (bleeding light)
Tell me it’ll be alright (be alright)
My screens are bleeding light (bleeding light)
Tell me it’ll be alright (be alright)
Tick tock on digital clocks, pressure builds underground
Pulling blocks till the tower comes down
Each slab a preview to impending collapse
And every soul just keeps scrolling past
Banking karma like crypto, hubris leads to the crash
Algorithms deface the grave of honor’s past
Drunk on sugar-coated prophesies, wrapped in targeted ads
And beneath crusted fingertips, the tremors, at last
My screens are bleeding light (bleeding light)
Tell me it’ll be alright (be alright)
My screens are bleeding light (bleeding light)
Tell me it’ll be alright (be alright)
My screens are bleeding light (bleeding light)
Tell me it’ll be alright (be alright)
I’m smiling, rip through the pain
One more tap, and play it again
Drip, drip, the feed scrolls down
Keep my head up now (head up now)
Noise floats through the static
talking heads wax emphatic
My screens are bleeding light (bleeding light)
Tell me it’ll be alright (be alright)
My screens are bleeding light (bleeding light)
Tell me it’ll be alright (be alright)
