What if we're all in a computer simulation? What if we're just a background character? Pensive rock-pop with a killer guitar riff.
lyrics
Get to the part of,
get to the heart of,
a story where we make sense.
Don't give me hard times,
I'm stuck in this story line,
just another NPC up in flames.
This is a half-life,
all checkpoints and boss fights,
I'll just grind the hours away.
Please save my highlights,
show me the safety line,
reloading...reloading...reloading...reloading...
