Two Screens Open by Viktor Jackson

[Intro} Midnight blue across my room City sleeping, I’m still moving One more thought I can’t shut down One more sound I haven’t found Two screens open [Verse 1] Left side glowing with a thousand lines Trying to make tomorrow work tonight Coffee getting colder by my hand Another problem I’m supposed to understand Right side waiting with an empty track Piano melody keeps pulling me back I play four chords, then I change my mind Back to the code like I’m running out of time Everybody says, “Just pick a road” Like every dream fits in a single mode But every time I close one window down The other half of me gets way too loud [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I’ve been asking the wrong question Trying to turn myself into one direction Maybe every piece I couldn’t choose Was never something I was meant to lose [Chorus] Two screens open in the middle of the night One’s building futures, one’s chasing a sound I like I keep thinking one of them has got to go But maybe I’m the reason both of them still glow Two screens open, two worlds in my eyes One made of numbers, one electric inside If I’m somewhere in between, then let me stay Two screens open I don’t wanna look away [Post-Chorus / EDM Drop] Oh-oh, I don’t wanna look away Oh-oh, let them both illuminate No, I don’t have to choose tonight Two screens, one life Two screens open [Verse 2] They ask me where I’m gonna be someday Like there’s a title I’m supposed to say Engineer, artist, something clean and clear Something people understand when they hear But I see data turning into art I hear rhythm when a system starts Find a pattern, make a melody Maybe they were never enemies Got a hundred folders full of plans Half-finished songs and diagrams Some nights I swear I’m falling behind Then I remember they’re both mine [Pre-Chorus] Maybe growing up is not deciding Which part of yourself you should be hiding Maybe every road I couldn’t choose Was only showing me a wider view [Chorus] Two screens open in the middle of the night One’s building futures, one’s chasing a sound I like I kept thinking one of them had got to go Now I know exactly why they both still glow Two screens open, two worlds in my eyes One made of numbers, one electric inside If I’m somewhere in between, then let me stay Two screens open I don’t wanna look away [Post-Chorus / EDM Drop] Oh-oh, I don’t wanna look away Oh-oh, let them both illuminate No, I don’t have to choose tonight Two screens, one life Two screens open Two screens open Two screens open One life [Bridge — Piano Breakdown] Maybe I wasted too much time Trying to fit my life inside A little box beneath my name So everybody knew what I became But I’m not one word I’m not one plan I’m every version that I am The hands that type The hands that play They were always mine anyway [Build] So turn it up Let the room light up Every unfinished dream I’ve got No shutting down No backing out I finally know what this is about Three, two, one— [Final EDM Drop / Chorus] Two screens open and I’m leaving them that way Building tomorrow while the speakers shake No more asking which side has to go I’m the connection between everything I know Two screens open, now I finally see Every contradiction is a part of me I don’t need a single road to find my way Two screens open I’m leaving them that way [Post-Chorus] Oh-oh, I’m leaving them that way Oh-oh, let them both illuminate I don’t have to choose tonight Two screens, one life Oh-oh, every line and every sound Oh-oh, somehow led me here right now Different worlds under the same light Two screens One life [Outro] Morning slowly fills the room Still got too much left to do But for once I’m not afraid Two screens open I’m leaving them that way.
