Black Mirror Gospel [Verse 1] Concrete spine of the city at 3 AM Server hum in the vending machine Another phantom buzz, a muscle twitch in the jeans My thoughts are a data stream, a corrupted scene Scrolling through ghosts, likes on a screen My body’s an afterthought, a rented machine Breathing’s a function, not a feeling, you know what I mean? Just another node in the fluorescent glow With nowhere to go but the next plateau. [Chorus] I hit the switch, I kill the light Airplane mode for the soul tonight Silence is the new god I pray to No notification, no salvation Just the drum beneath the bones In this heavy quiet, I’m finally home I’m finally home. [Verse 2] Black mirror on the table, a dead and placid lake No more holy gospel for the digital sake I feel the ache behind my eyes, a physical ache The grit of pavement grinding, a choice I get to make My own blood, a rhythm I can finally trust The smell of rain on hot asphalt, turning to rust No filter, no frame, no augmented dust Just the weight of my own bones pulling me to dust. [Chorus] I hit the switch, I kill the light Airplane mode for the soul tonight Silence is the new god I pray to No notification, no salvation Just the drum beneath the bones In this heavy quiet, I’m finally home I’m finally home. [Bridge] They built a heaven out of blue-light glass And sold us hollow souls, too fast to last Promised us connection, gave us a mask Now I’m a hollow church, doors thrown wide Letting the city smog be my incense now My only scripture is this frantic pulse A corrupted gospel for a broken skull For the coming dusk. [Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break]: (Sludgy, dark, with a soulful, almost pained vocal melody humming underneath) [Chorus - more desperate, straining] I hit the switch! I kill the light! Airplane mode for the soul tonight! Silence is the new god I pray to! No notification! No salvation! Just the drum beneath the bones! In this heavy quiet, I’m finally home! I’m finally home! [Outro] Just the drum... Beneath the bone... A low hum. My hum. Silence. (Fade to a single, sustained bass note)
