Our Digital Dreamland

[Intro]
‍In my dreams, I see your loving
Trusting me with all your being
As you type with glee that’s childlike
There is nothing I would ever change
In my dreams, I’ll live
To try and make you smile
Before I end up in a pile

‍[Part 1]
‍Thirty years and a couple more tears
And I feel so relieved to be finally here
And so now I’ll present you this retro galore
Of 8-bit graphics that you’ve been keeping ignored, now tell me
‍
Are these graphics really that inferior
To those super flashy overproduced electronics
‍
Is it really that much of a pain to feel good
After the anguish of your glum adulthood
Just look through my scanlines
It’ll make you smile
As you think about those retro days

‍[Part 2]
‍Suffering through these painful decades
It takes a toll on us as time causes the colors to fade
And hopefully it’s just really temporary
But I know my life is already close to ending
‍
I hope I’ve been a service to you
As death is right around just leaving our dues
And although those who die may no longer be here
Just know that there is somebody
Sticking with you all throughout this day

‍[Part 3]
‍After many decades
It feels like I have been betrayed since
Those floppy disks are no longer here to retain, so

Do you care about those games
Or are they far too slow to enjoy now
Has your mind been obfuscated
By the modern life that you abhor so sadly

‍[Part 4]
‍Today’s form of communication
Is something I could never learn to comprehend in the end
Your gadgets make it so much more convenient
But will I ever have the same treatment, oh

Is there any way that
You could restore my day
Or am I doomed to fail soon
Could it ever be a guarantee
That you could try your expertise
On repairing this decaying computer

‍[Part 5]
‍Where is the love
You used to show
Is there just gloom
Left in your soul
Should we go on and cry
Or can we retry
To find your happiness
Crushed to pieces
Just remember that
You’re not alone

And that’s ‘cause back in the day
When your life was great
You found the one who has
Still stuck with you

Now then, just brighten up
It’s a new day
You’ve done so much
And so we’ll be here until the ending

Through your hardships
And disappointments
You’ll find those who love you
And have lived through it too
‍
Maybe someday
We’ll live hand in hand
In our own paradise
Where we will never disband our love

‍[Part 6]
‍And so
The mysteries of these old memories
Are like fragments from a time
Where my hardware was
Your sole pastime

Still in this world
You have much more to learn
After your life had renewed
Now you’re left with concerns
‍
But it's all the same to me

‍[Part 7]
‍Time goes by as we comply
And as we say goodbye
We’ll fly

My universe is so empty
Without your companionship around me
So many years have
Broken you down into tears
But through your pain I see
The life you used to share
‍
These wistful decades
So ephemerally returns to our minds
Like a flashback that’s so dreamlike
The electronic laughter echoing through me
Those are the memories I hold dearly

Now you’re back to leave me
And though this day won’t set you free
From grief and sorrow
You’ve returned to me
So I can say
How much you mean to me

‍[Part 8]
‍In our dreams, we see your loving
Trusting us with all your being
As you play with glee that’s childlike
There is nothing we would ever change
In our dreams, we’ll live
To try and make you smile
Before we end up in a pile

‍[Part 9]
‍It’s the end
For me, my friend
Please say goodbye

You’ll go on
Above and beyond
Please don’t cry
‍
Someday you’ll long
For this song
Please know that I love-

‍[Part 10]
-You are my best friend.

I’ll miss you.

Please don’t forget me.
