Lyrics:
[Intro] Rain taps the glass, my collar turned high Last night’s receipts folded in my pocket Beneath fluorescent buzz, alone I arrive Ghosts of the corner shop crowding my thoughts [Verse 0] Sliding coins down fingers tired from trying A trolley wheel stuck, spinning like fate Memory rewinds to a smile you were faking Now I queue for approval from circuitry gates [Verse 1] Fluorescent mornings, the doors slide apart Cradling a basket with the day’s little parts I’m greeted by faces replaced with machines Checkered linoleum, synthetic routines A coupon rejected, a price never right I scan what’s left of my appetite No cashier to judge but I still feel the shame Another error message, it’s always the same [Chorus] The automated voice has more empathy than you ever did She tells me once again, please remove the item And as the scanner blinks, fluorescent and cruel I wonder if I ever learned to follow rules [Post-Chorus] Oh oh, try again Oh oh, plastic friend [Verse 2] A queue is forming, unimpressed and silent You fumble for coins, but it only wants cards Lonelier with every beep, I pretend I’m compliant Is this progress or simply another scar? [Pre-Chorus] The blinking screen, the hollow tone You’re gone for good but I’m not alone [Chorus] The automated voice has more empathy than you ever did She tells me once again, please remove the item And as the scanner blinks, fluorescent and cruel I wonder if I ever learned to follow rules [Post-Chorus] Oh oh, try again Oh oh, plastic friend [Bridge] Receipts pile up, faded and ignored A barcode’s worth more than my own accord Security light hovers, suspicion implied I reach for help, but no one’s by my side [Chorus] The automated voice has more empathy than you ever did She tells me once again, please remove the item And as the scanner blinks, fluorescent and cruel I wonder if I ever learned to follow rules [Post-Chorus] Oh oh, try again Oh oh, plastic friend [Outro] Plastic bags rustle as I gather mistakes One final sigh at the automatic gate Empty instructions as I’m ushered outside With every cold beep, something inside died [Post-Chorus] Oh oh, final scan Oh oh, empty hand Oh oh, try again Oh oh, plastic friend [Coda] A trigger locks, the world delays A thousand cameras judge my ways Neon vest approaching, practiced smile thin I apologize for faults I can't explain A smirk of mercy, freedom bought Change never handled, lesson not taught The doors swing open, rain starts to descend I see my reflection in the glass, start again [Post-Chorus] Oh oh, final scan Oh oh, empty hand Oh oh, try again Oh oh, plastic friend
