Motion of the Flame (0xTrace Used to Feel Mix)

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse] I hear the world in soft distortion Like it’s speaking through a wall of snow Every sound feels once removed Even silence doesn’t echo Eyes wide open but I’m watching nothing Conversations blur like a dream Your voice is just a ripple Across the surface of a frozen stream [Pre-Chorus] I reach for heat I cannot feel Pretend this static means I’m real [Instrumental Break] But I don't feel the fire Just the motion of the flame Everyone keeps talking Like I haven’t gone insane I’m a ghost inside the mirror Waving through the glass Trying to connect But the moment never lasts [Instrumental Break] [Verse] I memorize reactions Like I’m learning how to be A person with a pulse Not just noise on a screen [Pre-Chorus] I smile in rhythm, breathe on cue But I don't feel it pulling through [Instrumental Chorus] [Chorus] No, I don't feel the fire Just the motion of the flame Each word’s a simulation Each touch feels the same I’m a signal in the static Broadcasting to the void Longing for connection In a world I can’t avoid [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] There's a lock where feeling used to be A cold algorithm in my chest I want to scream, but the air folds in And wraps my voice in silence again So I drift beneath the feedback With nothing left to say Even numbness leaves a fingerprint Before it fades away [Pre-Chorus] I reach for heat I cannot feel Pretend this static means I’m real [Instrumental Break] [Final Chorus] I still don’t feel the fire Only echoes of the flame You touch me like a memory But nothing stays the same I’m a flicker in the system A signal fading fast Reaching through the static For a moment that can last [Instrumental Break] [Outro] "Just the motion of the flame..." "Just the motion of the flame..." "Just the motion of the flame..." (Just the motion of the flame) [Instrumental Outro]
