Lil Tokyo - Fault Lines Lyrics

[Intro]
Static in my head since I was eight
Watching cables spark and oscillate
Community center, basement space
Where broken speakers taught me grace

[Verse 1]
F*cked up soundwaves through the night
DJ's fingers, sacred rite
Northern accent cutting through
Static feedback, black and blue
Every glitch became my truth
In this concrete youth

[Chorus]
System failure made me whole
Corrupted files saved my soul
Breaking down to break the mold
Watch me turn these errors into gold
(Into f*cking gold)

[Verse 2]
Council estate dreams in HD
Crackling speakers set me free
Every malfunction speaks to me
Like a digital prophecy
Working class kids make do with less
Turn the damage into progress
Distortion's my inheritance
Making beauty from the mess

[Bridge]
Interference in my veins
White noise running through my brain
Sheffield nights won't be the same
Since I learned to love the pain

[Chorus]
System failure made me whole
Corrupted files saved my soul
Breaking down to break the mold
Watch me turn these errors into gold
(Into f*cking gold)

[Outro]
Eight years old, I found my fate
In the hum of cheap mixtapes
Now I glitch and recreate
Everything they said we couldn't make
(Couldn't f*cking make)
Static rising, won't behave
This is how we misbehave
Every broken sound's a wave
Of rebellion that we gave
