Arcade Stories - you are dead
From the EP, High Score Diploma (2023)

Live footage music video
Footage captured and edited by Jake Birch.

A sense of self
Bounded in doubt
And nothing else
Ain't no amount
Could buy us out
It's useless now

Rain is falling on our hands
Giving us another
Chance to escape the abyss
Pull through the strength from within

You are the key to my cell
The goodbye to my farewell
There will never be a pill
That could change the way I feel

I must have tried
One thousand times
To no avail

I no longer get immersed
It's a blessing and a curse
Your hand grips onto me
I love you endlessly

They take all the good ones first
And leave us with dirt
We throw ash into the wind
Let's go anywhere but here

You are the key to my cell
The goodbye to my farewell
There will never be a pill
That could change the way I feel

Tell me again that you are dead
Eyes on the screen hours in debt
We tried our best to fix this
But now the end approaches

Catch me once
Shame on us
Catch me twice
All hope dies

You're nothing, a ghost
A whisper, transparent
Where I look, you're gone
And there's no replacement

The words you wrote
Are dead and gone
As they turn into dust
No light be unto us

As they turn into dust
No light be unto us
Angels fly in the dark
And land a world apart
