Averyx - Terminal Lyrics

[Intro]
Static in my head, code red, system's down
Every move I make leaves digital footprints in this ghost town

[Verse 1]
Ten years deep in this game, still chasing validation
Every like and follow just feeds my fixation
Dad got jumped for his watch, now I'm watching my back
In board rooms full of sharks, calculating my next track
Leaked demos haunting me, trust turned to static
Career built perfectly, but feeling less than magic
Every connection's just a transaction these days
Fighting through the noise while my signal decays

[Chorus]
Terminal velocity, falling through the cracks
Delete my history, no way to scroll back
Terminal reality, system's running slow
Fatal error baby, watch me lose control
(Watch me lose control)

[Verse 2]
University days, stabbed in the back by the crew
Now I'm climbing charts while they're still paying dues
That grime track situation got me paranoid
Every DM's suspicious, every friend's employed
Manchester streets feel colder than before
Pandemic changed the game, now we're all keeping score
Perfectionism's a prison that I built myself
Trading sleep for streams, putting life on the shelf

[Bridge]
Signal's fading out, can't maintain the pace
Young blood coming up, taking my place
Time's running out, system's gonna crash
Everything I built turning into trash

[Chorus]
Terminal velocity, falling through the cracks
Delete my history, no way to scroll back
Terminal reality, system's running slow
Fatal error baby, watch me lose control

[Outro]
Ain't no backup plan when your time runs dry
Just static in the system watching dreams die
(Static in the system watching dreams die)
