My first earnest attempt at the synthwave genre. In any future redo, I'd absolutely render my voice differently. I'm strongly considering adding a more completed version of this to The Man-Machine Disconnect.

Let's ride through these city streets, watch the watch reflect off the rain
Chasing the future that we forgot, and make these memories again
Because with you at my back all my troubles began to fade
A blinding light shone in the sky, but now I'm left staring at the shade
Where did you go, why can't you stay? We were supposed to ride the wave
Tide us over until the end of the world, pay respects to what we can't save
Damn this crooked city and its plastic smile, jagged teeth scraping at the sky
Gone like a spook in the night, phantoms of your touch can't tell me why
