Y2K (Single Version) Lyrics

Yeah

I never saw it coming it just hit me like a freight train to my chest

As I fell backwards to the floor

I wanted to sink into it, to fade away and disappear

Or shut my eyes and scramble to the door

But as I sat and thought about it all

My ghost lives out the door and down the hall

What if everything you've ever done has been in service of a lie

It was just like Y2K I thought there was a better way

But they told me that this was just the way things work

There was nothing I could say

My voice already stripped away

So I just sat back down and watched it crumble into dirt

Broken glass surrounded me, my hands and knees were bloodied blistered

Fractured into horizontal lines

And all my hopes and dreams were there, I clambered to my feet and stumbled

Towards the red fluorescent exit sign

But when I put my hand upon the door

A siren started tearing through the store

I needed to escape this gilded cage of my own making and fly

It was just like Y2K I thought there was a better way

But they told me that this was just the way things work

There was nothing I could say

My voice already stripped away

So I just sat back down and watched it crumble into dirt

Yeah
