Run away I'll run away
I can't wait another day
Come with me I'll make space
We could leave in the night
If we make it out alive
We can leave it all behind
Fuck the mainframe this is real life
Run away I'll run away
I can't wait another day
Come with me I'll make space
We could leave in the night
Driving by the flashing lights
Til we make it out and I say
Fuck the mainframe I just want to be
Next to you
Run away far away
One day we'll make it out of here
Run away Hackerboy
You're the only thing that's real
Then one day they ran away
Couldn't wait another day
In the dark they would start to begin again
And as the system breaks the Hackerboy falls in love
And everything else ceases to exist
Run away far away
One day we'll make it out of here
Run away Hackerboy
You're the only thing that's real
And I just want to be close to you
Hackerboy
Hackerboy not everything is as it seems
Hackerboy it's not always binary
Hackerboy you won't always be lonely

Adelaide opened up to me last year
They said it doesn't quite feel real
Adelaide told me what it is they fear
They try to run but everyone's still here
Oh Adelaide Adelaide Adelaide
There's nothing wrong with changing
Adelaide Adelaide Adelaide
I really like the name
Oh Adelaide
There's nothing wrong with changing
And you know we still love you
I really like the name
Adelaide told me what it is they fear
Grandma not understanding and seeing dad in tears
Adelaide tried to tell me how it feels
It's hard to describe but I don't feel like I appear
Oh Adelaide Adelaide Adelaide
There's nothing wrong with changing
Adelaide Adelaide Adelaide
I really like the name

What sequence of words could I conjure to change your mind
What are the stakes it would take to convince you
Everyday that we wait is too late 'til we're out of time
Not mine to make but the choice it is killing me
Blades of the grass that you long to observe
The pedals of flowers that you've never heard of
And birds and their feathers and water from dirt
And you drink it and True love and love for the Earth
Oo-oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo
I've heard of this place and I'm sure it exists for some
Young as I am I'm not quite as naive as them
But I've gotten sick and I wish I could tell you this
Cause I'd slow you down and you'd resent me for all of it
I long for the world that your song it describes to me
And I will go gently and you must go quietly
Into the night with your phone at your side
The horizon it guides you beyond city lights
And I will wait for your call
A text or a voice note will do
An empire falls and I will still wait for you
I'd even take one of those old fashioned letters
And fashion an airplane that threads through the weather
And lands at your windowsill still kept in tact
You unfold and read it and send me one back
Well I'd wait for your call
A text or a voice note will do
An empire falls and I will still wait for you

In the night we leave with 3 bags between us
And 2 phones old ones
With antennas raised in the sky like those skinny fists
Imperative you find your passport
In the night we leave with 3 months between us
And headphones and speakers
The road hosts a reverb
That echoes through electric light strewn upon the road
Oil slicked pavement lit fluorescent Van Gogh
Tell me where you wouldn't go
To make it out
To make it out of here
Tell me where they wouldn't go
To get you back
To get you back in line

Neon neon
Lights lights
Riding through the night
All of the world will see us
And all of the world will know
Neon neon
Bright lights
Shining blinding my eyes
All of world will see us
When all of the world is cold
These neon lights are blinding
Im out here tryna find you
This city wasn't built for souls like ours
These neon lights are blinding
Im out here tryna find you
This city wasn't build to hold our hearts
These neon lights are blinding
Im out here tryna find you
This city wasn't built for souls like ours
These neon lights are blinding
Im out here tryna find you
This city wasn't build to hold our hearts
Neon neon
Lights lights
Riding through the night
All of the world will see us
And all of the world will know
Neon neon
Bright lights
Shining blinding my eyes
All of world will see us
When all of the world is cold

Introduction
01:57
|
|||
|
And amidst the luminescence of the Neon City
The Hackerboy is stranded between alienation and a restless empathy
Exhausted headache third time this week
You need to start drinking water
He wades through technicolour fog in search of something
Community, purpose, hedonism perhaps
A shadow leaks through the air and pools the ground.
A figure emerges.
One day I will tell you the story of the Post-Industrial Anarchist Loverboy
But for today a simple introduction
Yours truly,
CxViolet
