[Verse 1]
Blown speakers in the parking lot
Eight years old, watching circuits rot
Static waves wash over me
In this concrete sanctuary
Distorted bass became my faith
When that system met its fate
[Chorus]
Glitch me up, tear me down
Error messages all around
Beautiful in disarray
When the system breaks away
(F*ck it up, break it down)
This is how we own this town
[Verse 2]
Adults whisper 'bout the bills
While feedback screams and static fills
Every crack in broken dreams
Nothing works like it should seem
But in this chaos, I found peace
When that DJ set me free
[Bridge]
Corrupted files in my head
"System failure" all they said
But they don't know what I know now
Every crash shows me how
To make beauty from the breaks
That's the art that failure makes
[Chorus]
Glitch me up, tear me down
Error messages all around
Beautiful in disarray
When the system breaks away
(F*ck it up, break it down)
This is how we own this town
[Verse 3]
Cheap gear and borrowed time
Making magic on the decline
Every pop and scratch tells truth
About surviving in my youth
Found my voice in broken sound
When that system crashed down
[Outro]
(Distorted vocals)
Let it break, let it break
That's how diamonds f*cking make
In the static, in the noise
Found the future as a boy
Now I'm glitching through the pain
Never gonna be the same
(Never gonna be the same)
(System crash, system crash)
