Anomie

Title: Anomie Artist: Black Thread Union [Intro] [Verse 1] I woke up again in a room with no walls Just blue light and silence and credit card calls The people I loved are still names on a screen And I don’t remember the last time I felt clean I used to believe there was something to lose Now I just scroll till I run out of use Everything’s moving, but nothing arrives I’m alive in the static, but barely alive [Pre-Chorus] No anchor below No heaven above We sold off the meaning And called it enough The code doesn’t care The system won’t break It just keeps us distracted While we quietly fade [Chorus] This is what’s left when the center is gone We’re all holding nothing with the volume turned on We burned every tether, we cut every thread Now we’re floating with nowhere to land Anomie Anomie We don’t even know what we’re trying to be [Verse 2] I watched my own father get buried by noise While the algorithm offered him cheaper new toys We don’t talk about dying, we just stay online And pretend that the distance is by our design There’s a hole in the middle where the old things belonged Now we fill it with rage and we call it a bond We’re safe in our cages, we’re warm in the glow But the cold in our chest is the only thing that grows [Pre-Chorus] No anchor below No heaven above We sold off the meaning And called it enough [Chorus] This is what’s left when the center is gone We’re all holding nothing with the volume turned on We burned every tether, we cut every thread Now we’re floating with nowhere to land Anomie Anomie We don’t even know what we’re trying to be [Bridge] I am not broken I am just unmade A slow quiet vanishing On a screen that never fades We tore down the old gods We burned down the rules Now we’re standing in the wreckage Pretending we’re not fools AND WE’RE STILL HERE [Final Chorus] This is what’s left when the center is gone We’re all holding nothing with the volume turned on We burned every tether, we cut every thread Now we’re floating with nowhere to land Anomie Anomie We don’t even know what we’re trying to be Anomie Anomie Nobody remembers what we used to believe [Outro]
