From Modern Plights
One Hand Busy
Rent-free. Plan-free. Hope-free.
Yeah
Darren's awake
Both hands busy
Unfortunately
Basement glow like a nuclear light
Curtains sealed, it's permanently night
Thirty-four but he's rent-free stuck
Upstairs mum yelling "what the fuck
Half-eaten chips in a keyboard grave
Energy drink so his wrist can behave
Monitor flicker, incognito king
Jerking his rod like it owes him something
"Just five more minutes," he always says
Turns into four times, turns into five in a day
Laundry pile look like ancient art
Crusty as hell and falling apart
Tissue mountain by the side of the chair
Mum don't come down and she don't dare
No job call, no morning rush
Just one hand on his cock and a constant flush
Lights stay off
Blind stays down
Darren don't stop
'Til he hears mum moving around
Darren in the basement, crown on his head
Jerking his rod 'til his arm is dead
Cheeto dust kingdom, soda flat
He says "I'll change soon" imagine that
Darren in the basement, headset on tight
Beating his meat every single night
Thirty-four years, no exit plan
Just a one-man-band
PC fans sound like a jet taking off
Drowning out sounds he'd rather keep soft
Tab minimised when he hears a creak
Yanking his dick like five days a week
Mum calls down, "Darren, you alright
He's very much busy just not how she'd like
Door stays locked, chair rolls back
Lotion bottle with the label cracked
Pizza boxes stacked like a fallen wall
One hand on his rod and that's fucking all
Grinding ranked matches in between
Wiping his hands and clearing his screen
Wrist on fire, fingers numb
Another session done, another tissue gone
Every load blame the stress or fate
Three times before it's even eight
Lights stay off
Clock don't tick
Darren don't stop
Mid-fucking-wank for shit
Darren in the basement, crown on his head
Jerking his rod 'til his arm is dead
Cheeto dust kingdom, soda flat
He says "I'll change soon" imagine that
Darren in the basement, headset on tight
Beating his meat every single night
Thirty-four years, no exit plan
Just a one-man-band
One day he says he'll get it together
One day he says "just bad weather
But the router hums like a lullaby
And the search history would make a grown man cry
No sunrise hits that room no more
Just incognito tabs and a locked basement door
Time don't matter when the screen feels real
And his right arm's built like fucking steel
Now and then he hears life upstairs
Laughter, arguments, open air
He pauses… wipes his hand on the chair
Pulls up another tab like he don't care
Keyboard sticky for more than one reason
Been jerking his cock through every season
Mum stops asking after a while
Just leaves food by the bottom stair tile
He used to say he'd move next year
Same sentence, same chair, same atmosphere
Now it's just tabs and loading screens
And a sock collection nobody's seen
Darren in the basement, crown on his head
Jerking his rod 'til his arm is dead
Cheeto dust kingdom, soda flat
He says "I'll change soon" imagine that
Darren in the basement, headset on tight
Beating his meat every single night
Thirty-four years, no exit plan
Just a one-man-band
"Yo bro I'm just lagging
"One more game then I'll sort my life out
"...One more tab
"...One more
