[Verse 1: The Signal Thins] Your voice arrived through speaker grit, the word we wanted slipping out of it. A packet loss in every line, you said hello and I missed the second half this time. The waveform thinned beside my ear, two bars of static, then you were still here. [Pre-Chorus: Counting Beats] I counted beats between your words, many answers left unheard. The pulse decayed, the voltage dropped, a message looping where it stopped. [Chorus: Pulse Decay - Anthem Lift] Pulse Decay, I hear the seam, your name becoming less of a dream. Pulse Decay, the line goes thin, I let the static carry what is in. One word left before it breaks away, I catch your breath and call it all okay. [Verse 2: The Room Records] Your shoe scuff dragged across the floor, my phone screen cracked at corner four. You said stay close, then let the signal fray, some things are better lost that way. Now I sit with what remains unparsed, the quiet between us getting larger than it starts. [Bridge: The Active Choice - Vocal Build] I will not stitch the wire shut. I will not ask you more of what you cut. If this is how the signal ends, I take the gap where your voice bends. One packet lost, one pulse gone free, you are still here in the decay for me. [Chorus: Pulse Decay - Full Release] Pulse Decay, I feel it now, a ragged map and a broken vow. Pulse Decay, the wire sighs, sheathing truth before my eyes. Your last syllable slips through plain, I learn to love the part that stays as rain. [Outro] Two bars of quiet. A final rim click. The room learns how to listen without you.
