Lyrics

[Verse 1]
While I was scrolling
Shocked and bored
I came upon the news
Of your departure
From this ailing place
From which you chose
'Deactivate'
[Verse 2]
Then out my door
And down the street:
Deflated bodies
Empty meat
A running dog on trailing leash
Was free to roam but not released
[Verse 3]
From gravity and malady
And sheer corporeality
Anatomy in disrepair
Catastrophe in open-air
[Verse 4]
They're telling me:
"Ascend the stair:
Eternity in betaware"
[Verse 5]
While you're awaiting your result
Allow me to present an ultimatum:
Either save this place
Or opt out and deactivate
[Verse 6]
Before your body's obsolete
Abandon ship, reserve your seat
But if you transfer incomplete
Do not refresh, do not delete
[Verse 7]
Your treasury of memory
Your tendency for reverie
Diffuse your being everywhere:
A remedy beyond compare
[Verse 8]
Be not afraid
Do not be scared
To swiftly cross that thoroughfare
[Verse 9]
O take my hand, I'll take you there:
Eternity in betaware
