Jasper Ash - Neon Ruins Lyrics

[Intro]
Beeping monitors fade to static in my mind
White walls closing in, time's undefined
Lost in the system, where did I go wrong?
These fluorescent lights been on for too long

[Verse 1]
Ketamine dreams in a city that bleeds
Concrete crumbling like my memories
Bristol nights blur into hospital days
Through these veins, the poison stays
Half of me's missing, which part am I?
Identity splitting under neon sky
Mixed blood running through a broken machine
Everything's fading, nothing's what it seems

[Chorus]
Can't tell if I'm alive or just surviving
System's failing, mind's dividing
Trapped between the flat-line and the high
Watch the city burn as I try to die
But I keep breathing, keep deceiving
My reflection in the screen, I'm barely seeing
Who the f*ck am I supposed to be?
When every piece of me's breaking free

[Verse 2]
Emergency room's got me on display
Like some f*cked up art in decay
Glitch in the matrix, error in the code
My consciousness taking the darkest road
Streets are empty but my head's too full
Of synthetic dreams and digital lull
Mom's heritage fading with every drip
Reality's grip starting to slip

[Bridge]
Static in my veins
Digital remains
City's falling down
Just like my brain
(Just like my brain)

[Chorus]
Can't tell if I'm alive or just surviving
System's failing, mind's dividing
Trapped between the flat-line and the high
Watch the city burn as I try to die
But I keep breathing, keep deceiving
My reflection in the screen, I'm barely seeing
Who the f*ck am I supposed to be?
When every piece of me's breaking free

[Outro]
Monitors beeping slower now
Fading out somehow
Lost in the static of my mind
Leave this shell behind
But something keeps me here
In this atmosphere
Of broken dreams and fractured screens
Where nothing's what it seems
