Mario

Starve The Ego, Feed The Soul

Do you ever feel stuck like you're in a video game?
You could use a one-up and a change of name

You're trapped behind a screen for all of eternity
Well get strapped in cuz this is our society
We never had a home so we stare down at our phones
We sit and we hope that someone will come and help us cope
But the reality is that we are all alone just like Mario
We're all stuck in our own zones
Doomed to status quo you got to go with the flow
Until we're all the same dress in the same clothes

And I don't want it to be like this
I want to be remembered for being different
But I don't think it would be that simple
You're gonna fade away into just a tiny ripple

Oh my god
I don't want to
Please don't make me

And once you fade away straight into the mundane
We became one in the same, same person, different grave
And we're all NPCs now, I'm Toad and you're Peach
We all walk the same road, we have yet to find relief
Till we stare at the screen, hopefully that brings us peace
Screaming please, some salvation is all I want to see

But all we get is more anxiety and ADHD, unable to even think
But what we need is a brother like Luigi. Can you save me?

Please do something
Now I'm stuck here
Get me outta here!
I can't take it

And now we're all the same, just a million Mr. Smiths
All I wanted was to be that one Mr. Anderson
But you can't always win, you got to take what you can get
But don't forget the daunting reality that Morpheus said
It might all be a simulation full of
Desperation, damnation, and absolutely no salvation
But that's just a day in the life of Mario
Goes to sleep every night thinking nothing
But "oh no, I got to wake up just right and be chipper for tomorrow
And do the same thing again and again and over and over"

Now you've damned me
Look what you've done
You should be ashamed!

Please don't leave me
Don't forsake me
