Nuclear Youth

[Verse 1] Screens light up with breaking news Teenage eyes glued to the view Dad's voice echoes through the halls "Technology will be our fall" Sixteen when the waves came in Digital ghosts beneath my skin [Pre-Chorus] Every warning sign we missed While dancing under neon mist The future's not what they promised me In this electric fantasy [Chorus] System failure, sirens cry Pretty lights against dark skies Sweet destruction, can't look away As paradise begins to fade Digital dreams turn to rust In machines we placed our trust Now we're dancing through the flames Nothing ever stays the same [Verse 2] Warehouse parties pulse all night Drowning out our parent's fright Underground we feel alive While circuits burn and systems die Remember what they used to say? "Progress lights the darker days" Now we're lost in static streams Kawaii nightmares, broken dreams [Bridge] Father's scars still tell the tale Of iron gods that always fail But we keep pushing through the pain Dancing in radioactive rain Sweet delusions, crystal clear Everything we love is here In this artificial high Where cherry blossoms never die [Chorus] System failure, sirens cry Pretty lights against dark skies Sweet destruction, can't look away As paradise begins to fade Digital dreams turn to rust In machines we placed our trust Now we're dancing through the flames Nothing ever stays the same [Outro] Emergency frequencies sing While Tokyo's sleeping The future's breaking But we keep raving Through the static and the screams In our technological dreams Sweet disaster, hold me tight As we dance into the night
