Your Last HP

[Chorus] Press f5 and i'm a god Every consequence is a fraud I live my life without a single fear 'cause f9 makes the bad things disappear [Verse 1] I walk into the room A sonic boom I am the groom [Verse 2] I take what i want A casual hunt A verbal stunt [Verse 3] I tell you a lie I don't have to try I watch your soul die [Bridge] I told my boss to go to hell today, Just to see the look of horror on his face I saw him tremble, i saw him shake And then i hit the key, for goodness sake And we were back to morning coffee, he was smiling at me, Unaware of the monster i am happy to be. [Chorus] Press f5 and i'm a god Every consequence is a fraud I live my life without a single fear 'cause f9 makes the bad things disappear [Verse 4] I break your heart A work of art A brand new start [Verse 5] I crash the car I raise the bar I am the star [Verse 6] There is no "wrong" I play along To my own song [Bridge] I sleep with you, i whisper what you want to hear, I make you feel like my whole world is right here But your husband's coming home, i hear his key in the door, I've played this level a dozen times before It's just a game, you're just some code, Another story to unload. [Chorus] Press f5 and i'm a god Every consequence is a fraud I live my life without a single fear 'cause f9 makes the bad things disappear [Verse 7] He's at the door He wants a war I've seen this before [Verse 8] He's got a gun This should be fun Nowhere to run [Verse 9] Time to rewind Leave this all behind Be cruel to be kind [Bridge] He's screaming now, his face is turning red, I see the fury in the things he hasn't said My finger's ready for the sweet release, To go back to a time of perfect, silent peace But my hand just slipped, a single, stupid, fatal press... I didn't load the game, i saved my fucking mess. [Chorus] Pressed f5... I'm not a god. This consequence is not a fraud. I live my life inside a single fear. 'cause f9... Will never bring me back from here.

[Chorus] Same line, same time, same street Same smile for all the souls i meet Press 'e' to hear my lie "i'm doing fine." Another day goes by [Verse 1] My path is on a rail I am designed to fail To tell the same tale [Verse 2] I serve the same drink I don't have to think I'm on the brink [Verse 3] My dialogue is set On the day we met A walking regret [Bridge] And then you walked in, the player one, the chosen, With a fire in your eyes, my own world was frozen You moved with purpose, you weren't on a loop, You broke the pattern of my sad, little group And for a second, i just wanted to scream, "can you take me with you, out of this broken dream?" [Chorus] Same line, same time, same street Same smile for all the souls i meet Press 'e' to hear my lie "i'm doing fine." Another day goes by [Verse 4] I sell you a sword I look so damn bored My pain is ignored [Verse 5] My wife is a script My tongue has been clipped My whole life is skipped [Verse 6] You see just a face A part of this place Without a trace Of life [Bridge] I tried to say a different word today, I tried to walk a different way, to my dismay But the game corrected, the code is far too strong, It put me back right where i always have belonged I am a function, not a man, A simple tool in a master plan. [Chorus] Same line, same time, same street Same smile for all the souls i meet Press 'e' to hear my lie "i'm doing fine." Another day goes by [Verse 7] One day i'll de-spawn A silent, grey dawn Just carry on [Verse 8] My house will be empty My role will be plenty For the next entry [Verse 9] I am not real I don't get to feel The curtain i peel [Bridge] And in the end, the question that will haunt my soul, Is was there ever anything beyond my scripted role? Or am i just a hundred lines of code and a hollow chest, Waiting for the player to complete their fucking quest? I think the answer is the one i've always known, I was never alive here, i was always just alone. [Chorus] Same line. Same time. Same street. Same smile for all the souls i meet. Press 'e' to hear my lie. "i'm doing fine." And watch a good man die.

[Chorus] I put all my points in 'grind' Left all my other skills behind My 'career' bar is full and bright My 'happiness' is black as night [Verse 1] Level one, i had a choice A tiny, hopeful voice I had to rejoice [Verse 2] I saw the final prize The promise in their eyes The corporate sunrise [Verse 3] So i chose the 'work' path I faced the aftermath A cold, lonely bath [Bridge] I remember the screen, the branching of the tree, I could have chosen 'family', or 'art', or just 'to be' But i saw the final skill, the 'ceo's reward', And i told myself that all the rest could be completely ignored I was so young, i thought the game was fair, I didn't know the cost was more than i could bear. [Chorus] I put all my points in 'grind' Left all my other skills behind My 'career' bar is full and bright My 'happiness' is black as night [Verse 4] My 'health' is in the red The words i never said Are ghosts in my bed [Verse 5] My 'empathy' is low I have nowhere to go I only know the show [Verse 6] I try to buy a friend A means to an end That i can't comprehend [Bridge] My wife just left me, the quest failed with a sound, She said my 'dialogue options' were nowhere to be found I tried to throw my 'money' skill at it, a stupid, Useless trick, but the damage was emotional, my logic wasn't quick I have the best gear, i have the highest score, But i can't unlock the only quest that matters anymore. [Chorus] I put all my points in 'grind' Left all my other skills behind My 'career' bar is full and bright My 'happiness' is black as night [Verse 7] There's no turning back My build is on the rack My spirit is black [Verse 8] No option to "respec" Just a broken neck On a sinking deck [Verse 9] I reached the highest tier And now it's all so clear There's nothing for me here [Bridge] I am a master of a game i hate, A perfect build that sealed my own dark fate I specialized, i optimized, i played it like a pro, And killed the only part of me that had a chance to grow I am a god in this one tiny room, And all the other worlds are buried in my tomb. [Chorus] I put all my points in 'grind'. Left my own damn soul behind. My 'career' bar is full and bright. And i will sleep alone again tonight.

[Chorus] My health bar's blinking red The words inside my head Keep chipping me away Minus one hp today [Verse 1] I wake up in the morn' A little bit more torn A creature reborn [Verse 2] The world is a foe A steady, killing flow A silent death blow [Verse 3] I put on my gear My armor of fear And hold back a tear [Bridge] It started with a debuff, a poison in my soul, A toxic job, a lie that took its toll It doesn't hit me hard, it isn't like a blade, It's just a quiet damage that will never, ever fade Every single second, another point is gone, And i have to pretend that i can still go on. [Chorus] My health bar's blinking red The words inside my head Keep chipping me away Minus one hp today [Verse 4] I see them walking by With green bars in the sky I just want to cry [Verse 5] They don't see my pain The acid, pouring rain That's rotting my brain [Verse 6] I look for a potion A fleeting emotion A toxic devotion [Bridge] I tried to drink my way back to the green, The cheapest health pot that i've ever seen It works for an hour, it fills the bar a bit, Then the poison kicks back in and i'm back in the pit This isn't healing, it's just borrowing time, A temporary fix for a permanent crime. [Chorus] My health bar's blinking red The words inside my head Keep chipping me away Minus one hp today [Verse 7] The final, final hit The moment that i quit I have to admit [Verse 8] It won't be a sword A final, angry word It's just being bored [Verse 9] One day i'll just fade A life unmade A price has been paid [Bridge] And no one will see it, there's no explosion, No 'game over' screen, just a quiet corrosion They'll say "he was so calm", "he was doing so well", They never saw the numbers of my private, ticking hell My greatest battle was the one they couldn't see, The slow and steady war of my own mind against me. [Chorus] My health bar's blinking red. The words inside my head. They've chipped me all away. Zero hp today.

[Chorus] I'm at the end game now I take a final bow I don't know how To feel anything at all [Verse 1] The final boss is dead The words have all been said I should go to bed [Verse 2] The quests are all complete This victory is sweet And obsolete [Verse 3] I have the best gear The end is so near It's my biggest fear [Bridge] I remember the grind, the struggle and the fight, Staying up for hours in the middle of the night The desperate wish to finally get here, To the top of the world, to make it all so clear And now i'm standing here, the silence is so deep, The journey was the promise that the prize could never keep. [Chorus] I'm at the end game now I take a final bow I don't know how To feel anything at all [Verse 4] I walk the empty land With everything i planned A king on the sand [Verse 5] The npcs are quiet On this new, boring diet Of peace, i don't buy it [Verse 6] There are no more foes No highs and no lows Just the poison that grows [Bridge] I have the money, the power and the fame, I am the master of this stupid, empty game But the purpose wasn't winning, it was always just the chase, And now there's nothing left for me in this forgotten place The thrill is gone, the magic's turned to dust, A monument to my ambition and my rust. [Chorus] I'm at the end game now I take a final bow I don't know how To feel anything at all [Verse 7] I load the game again To feel a little pain To stand in the rain [Verse 8] Of a battle i won Before it was all done Beneath a younger sun [Verse 9] But it's not the same It's a pathetic game To whisper my name [Bridge] And slowly, the great memories of the quest begin to fade, Tainted by the emptiness this victory has made The poison of the end game isn't loud, it's soft and cold, It makes you hate the story that you were so proud to have told I'd give it all back, the glory and the prize, Just for one more monster to look me in the eyes. [Chorus] I'm at the end game now. I take a final bow. And i know how... To feel nothing at all.

[Chorus] You beat the boss, you feel the rush You turn a giant into slush But there's another, up ahead And all your confidence is dead [Verse 1] Level one, he was a giant So angry and defiant I was compliant [Verse 2] I fought with all i had My rusty sword, my plaid I was just a lad [Verse 3] And when he fell, i screamed A better life, it seemed Was what i had dreamed [Bridge] I remember that first victory, the music and the light, The feeling i could take on the entire, endless night I leveled up, i felt so strong, so powerful and free, I thought the hardest part of life was far behind me I was a fool, i was a child, i didn't understand, That was just the tutorial for this corrupted land. [Chorus] You beat the boss, you feel the rush You turn a giant into slush But there's another, up ahead And all your confidence is dead [Verse 4] Level ten, the fight is harder I am my own bombarder My spirit's a larder [Verse 5] I win, but i don't smile It's not worth the while It's just another file [Verse 6] The joy is now a chore I've been here before Just one battle more [Bridge] I'm stronger now, my armor's made of steel, The wounds i get are deeper, but they don't feel real The process has replaced the passion and the fire, I'm fighting just to meet the world's ever-growing pyre It's not about the winning, it's just about the grind, And the man i used to be is who i've left behind. [Chorus] You beat the boss, you feel the rush You turn a giant into slush But there's another, up ahead And all your confidence is dead [Verse 7] The final, final stage I turn another page Of this empty cage [Verse 8] I know all his moves The familiar grooves It only proves [Verse 9] That i have become So terribly numb The battle is dumb [Bridge] This isn't a challenge, it's a test of my own will, How long can i keep fighting when i've lost the thrill? If your goal is always higher, you will never reach the sky, You will only learn a thousand different, lonely ways to die The first win was for glory, the last one's just to quit, To finally be done with all of this bullshit. [Chorus] You beat the boss. You feel the hush. You turn your spirit into slush. And there's another, up ahead. But you are already dead.

[Chorus] I'm playing in hardcore mode I walk a lonely road There's no "load" command In this broken land Just the blood on my hand [Verse 1] They laugh and they fall They give it their all They answer the call [Verse 2] They make a mistake For goodness sake They get a retake [Verse 3] I watch them with envy So careless and carefree They'll never be me [Bridge] I remember the moment, a tuesday afternoon, The sun was in my eyes, it was a little bit too soon A single choice, a stupid word, a turn i didn't make, The sound of glass, the price of my mistake The world went black, and when i woke up from the fall, The "hardcore mode enabled" sign was written on the wall. [Chorus] I'm playing in hardcore mode I walk a lonely road There's no "load" command In this broken land Just the blood on my hand [Verse 4] My choices are final A slow, downward spinal Tap into the vinyl [Verse 5] Every step that i take A new chance to break My own soul's at stake [Verse 6] They say "just move on" Before the new dawn But my save file is gone [Bridge] I see them making their mistakes and laughing it away, "i'll do it better next time", that's what they always say They get to learn, they get to grow, they get to press reset, I'm playing with the ghost of every single past regret My game is not about the win, it's just about the cost, Of living in the memory of the one life that i lost. [Chorus] I'm playing in hardcore mode I walk a lonely road There's no "load" command In this broken land Just the blood on my hand [Verse 7] There is no final boss Just the permanent loss Upon my own cross [Verse 8] I play with such care A life of repair A silent prayer [Verse 9] One day it will end My dear, lonely friend A message to send [Bridge] You cannot understand the weight i have to hold, The story of a single, stupid choice that can't be told My inventory is full of things i can't undo, Every single day i have to see my failure through There is no glory in my game, no epic, final quest, just the quiet, Endless challenge of putting my own ghost to rest. [Chorus] I'm playing in hardcore mode. I walk a lonely road. There's no "load" command. In this broken land. I finally understand.
