Glacial Daydream - Trigger Memory Lyrics

[Intro]
Static crackles, another rat in the trap
Childhood friends turn snake when they hear that clap
BASF smokestacks where we used to play
Now I'm in this cell 'cause my boy couldn't stay true

[Verse 1]
Remember them days, climbing factory gates
Parents working late, we was each other's escape
Trading Pokemon cards, sharing stolen snacks
Now you wearing wires, trying to get me wrapped
F*ck the system that turned my brother cold
Trading loyalty for that detective's gold
Middle-class dreams made you forget the code
Now you sitting pretty while I'm hitting road

[Chorus]
(Static noise) This is unit 451
Used to be my day one, now he's holding that gun
Factory sirens singing our betrayal song
Thought we'd ride together, guess I read it wrong
Schneidreißer on the run, Felix turned his badge on
Childhood memories fade like tear gas in the dawn

[Verse 2]
Empty apartment, microwave dinners
Now you eating stake with them badge winners
Remember stealing apples from old man Klein?
Now you stealing years, trying to make me do time
Working-class kids, we was all we had
Till you got scared and turned into their lab rat
Playing cops and robbers in them factory yards
Now it's real life, and you chose your cards

[Bridge]
Silent calculations, cold deliberation
Friendship's just a memory lost in interrogation
Middle-class comfort bought your soul so cheap
While I'm still hustling, trying to make ends meet

[Verse 3]
Every memory's a knife that's twisting deep
Every shared secret you sold for pocket heat
BASF towers watch like prison guards
While you write reports on our boulevard
Should've known better, seen it in your eyes
When you got that office job, started telling lies
Now the static's crackling, frequencies align
As you try to trap me one last f*cking time

[Outro]
(Static fades) This is how it ends
Childhood bonds break when poverty bends
One last message through the police band:
Never trust a friend who forgets where he began
