[Verse 1]
In the darkness of his room, the soft glow of the screen
Cheap headphones on his head while the others sleep
Tetris is his refuge, the falling shapes
Little colored pieces that bring his mind to ease

[Chorus]
Bright little pieces snapping into place
In that space that fills his tiny screen
Every line he clears, every flash of light
Takes the weight off a long, heavy day

[Verse 2]
Towers rise, then fade away
Eyes burning as midnight slips by
He builds each pattern clean and tight
And tells himself, “just one more try”

[Chorus]
Bright little pieces snapping into place
In that space that fills his tiny screen
A hero in his room alone
Pushing back the weight the world has shown

[Bridge]
His mind is a fortress, steady and strong
Every move deliberate, every thought drawn out
He feels the drag of these endless, endless days
Still somehow finds a place for every piece

[Syntzesizer solo]

(Whoa-oh-oh)
From this maze of bright, colliding shapes and hues
He grips the pad when the world feels unsure

[Outro]
In a drifting, dreamlike, chaotic space
The shapes are slowly blending into one
For a moment more, he sees it through
Bringing order as his eyes drift closed
