Throne of Static

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
I sit on a throne of static, king of fiber-optic thread
My eyes are ten thousand cameras, my voice, a line inside your head
You think your day matters? I watched you through a drone's-eye
You spilled your coffee, cursed the weather, then shitposted a lie
Your boss is a monkey on a leash, your girlfriend's a gallery of filters
You march for a cause you skimmed between two unpaid bills
And I—I laugh from my basement throne.
You're a rat in a maze you bought the plans for…
And I built the fun
(Pre-Chorus )
You wave your little flags! You scream your little names!
I press a button—watch your whole existence turn to glitch and flames
(Chorus )
HAIL THE RECLUSE! PITY THE RATS!
Your whole damn world's in meltdown and I calculate the STATS
I watch you scurry, I watch you FALL
You think I'm hiding? I'm HUNTING from my chair
Your pointless life is my reality show—and you think I care?
—
I.
Don't.
(Verse 2)
I saw your Instagram story—a brunch you couldn't afford
You called it "blessed," I called it "borrowed" and I logged off, bored
Your protests are a Tidal-wave playlist, your politics a meme
You're a DNA-hardwired lemming chasing a broken dream
I mail you your own data, encrypted in a cursive font
You call it "crazy," I call it "checkmate"—I placed every pawn
(Pre-Chorus)
You want my story? Here's the punchline—I never left the room
The whole world's a suicide note, and I'm the one who sealed the tomb
You're desperate for a witness, you're begging to be seen
I'm the driver in the passenger seat—and you're the accident scene
(Chorus)
THRONE OF STATIC! PITY THE RATS!
Your whole damn world's in meltdown and I calculate the STATS
I watch you scurry, watch you try to BREATHE
You think your heartbeat matters?
You think I'm lonely? I'm the CROWD
I echo through every notification you ignore,
I'm the WHITE NOISE wearing a shroud
You're in a maze, designed with my eyes closed…
(Verse 3)
I sit on a throne of static, a king of fiber-optic thread
My eyes are ten thousand cameras, my voice, a line inside your head
You think your day matters? I watched you through a drone's eye
You dropped your phone, cursed the crack, then shitposted a perfect lie
Your job is a leash you thanked them for, your freedom's a app you paid for
You rage for a justice you read about, then swipe it all away
I laugh from my basement throne. hahaha!
You're a rat in a maze you bought, and still owe for.
(Pre-Chorus)
You wave your little flags! You scream your little names!
I press a button—watch your whole existence turn to glitch and flames
(Chorus)
HAIL THE RECLUSE! PITY THE RATS!
Your whole damn world's in meltdown and I calculate the STATS
I watch you scurry, I watch you FALL
You think I'm hiding? I'm HUNTING from my chair
Your pointless life is my reality show—and you think I care?
