Lil Tokyo - Broken Circuit Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Blown out speakers in the basement light
Eight years old, first time feeling right
Mama said "baby you could be something"
Through the static, through the f*cking nothing
Broken wires, crossed connections
Making magic through imperfections

[Chorus]
Glitch me up, tear me down
Turn these errors into crown
System failure's my salvation
Corrupted files my creation
(Yeah) I'm beautiful when I break
Digital wounds that I make

[Verse 2]
Community center, dusty floor
Borrowed gear behind the door
They say "that shit ain't worth fixing"
But I hear angels in the glitching
Every crash, every clip
Got my future in death grip

[Bridge]
Loading... loading... f*cking loading...
Watch me turn these bugs to gold rings
Mama's voice through white noise
Making choices, finding poise
Poor kid with a borrowed dream
Now I make the system scream

[Chorus]
Glitch me up, tear me down
Turn these errors into crown
System failure's my salvation
Corrupted files my creation
(Yeah) I'm beautiful when I break
Digital wounds that I make

[Verse 3]
Every malfunction taught me how to fly
Every broken beat showed me why
They thought I'd stay down in the static
But I made this shit f*cking dramatic
Now I'm crashing through their ceiling
Sound distorted but I'm healing

[Outro]
Eight years old in that basement light
Now I make the darkness bright
F*ck your perfect, f*ck your clean
I'm the glitch in your machine
Watch me rise through broken sound
Till these errors wear a crown
