Pixel Lobotomy

Right... Check the RAM...

Boots on the pad, thumbs on the crown,
Shoot the sprites, let the high-scores burn down.
They call it "retro," I call it "relapse,"
Glitching through the levels, collapsing the maps.
Watch the frame-rate drop—still runs just fine,
Bought it from a hacker, now the hacker's divine.
Don't need a continue, don't need a code,
Just a reset button to lighten the load.

GLITCH! IN! THE! SYSTEM!
BUG! IN! THE! LENS!

Pixel Lobotomy, flush out the shame!
Memory's a cartridge, we just fry the game!
Pixel Lobotomy, fingers in the ash,
Boot the flag while we commit the crash!

Shitty old locket? No, a save-file's gleam,
Trophy of the garbage, it's a digital dream.
We're the ghosts with the paddles, the wolves in the suits,
Humming 8-bit hymns while we're breaking the roots.
Left hand holds the joystick, right hand holds the pliers,
Ask the sprite if it objects—it's just silent wires.
Brain-rot? No, just a "strategic progression",
Sell the lag to the kids for a fraction.

CODE! OF! THE! JUNGLE!
GOD! IS! A! CLICK!

Pixel Lobotomy, flush out the shame!
Memory's a cartridge, we just fry the game!
Pixel Lobotomy, fingers in the ash,
Boot the flag while we commit the crash!

Click... click...
Polishing the pixels of the deceased.
Does the manual have a chapter for the beast?
No, no... it's just "lag"...
 LAG!

So take the save... take the cross...
Take the bytes... and the loss.
When the screen goes dark and the dust is clean...
Tell me, player... what did you glean?
