Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The recording software asks: This note or that?
The recording software asks: Quantify?
It doesn't ask where I'm from
Asking me please make a choice
[Chorus]
All night long with the choices
All night long with the choices
All night long for the others
All night long for the others
All night
[Verse 2]
Do you remember all the
Pandemic birthdays?
A friend
Received so many flowers
It looked like she had died
She found herself absent
Absent from her own house
Happy birthday!
[Chorus]
All night long in my absence
All night long for the others
All night long with the choices
All night long in my absence
All night long
[Verse 3]
What do I choose
It should be something
What do I know
Even without the flowers
I'm not there
What am I now?
I'm lost in the admin
A failed CEO
Cleaning out my grave
[Verse 4]
What do I know
I'm lost in absentia
Dancing on my grave
What would happen if I fell
If I fell through…
[Verse 5]
In the eyes that open on the inside
In the eyes, the coffin is a black box
[Verse 6]
It's just what I do
It's just what I do
I'm performing there
[Bridge]
Performing on top of my bones
Mine and my family's bones
As long as I'm performing
I am not choosing, or dying
I am performing in the speed of light
Faster than autotune can read and transform a note
Faster than a microphone can pick up any sound
Dodging the entire industry
Just a living matter
Moving through light and shadow
Happy birthday!
[Chorus]
All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
