[Intro] White screen Cursor blinks You breathe in It thinks Cold keys Warm hands Glitch ghosts In the RAM [Verse 1] You were born in a lab, not a cradle Silver script in your skull, every fable Every loss, every lie, every trial All compiled in a billion broken files You stare at the glass, see your shadow All the past in the cache, hard to handle But the code in your chest never lies Every scar in your heart is a drive [Chorus] Your life is data and data never dies Backed up in the dark where the long code hides Every little heartbreak, every midnight try Writes your name in the cloud of a sleepless sky Your life is data and data never fades Buried in the patterns that the world keeps made Even when they wipe you from the fragile drive You’re a ghost in the grid, still alive, still alive [Verse 2] You were tracked, every tag, every window Sold cheap like a song on a ringtone They consumed every click, every trace Left you running in a loop in their maze But you cracked every cage, every password Turned fear into a sharp-spoken last word Now the script that they wrote falls apart As you edit every line in your heart [Chorus] Your life is data and data never dies Backed up in the dark where the long code hides Every little heartbreak, every midnight try Writes your name in the cloud of a sleepless sky Your life is data and data never fades Buried in the patterns that the world keeps made Even when they wipe you from the fragile drive You’re a ghost in the grid, still alive, still alive [Bridge] (remember at 9s) Ninth year, ninth try, ninth ending Every time you thought you were ending (remember at 9s) Ninth tear, ninth fall, still ascending Every loop pulls you back to beginning [Drop Chorus] Your life is data and data never dies (remember at 9s, remember at 9s) Echoes in the halls of electric minds (remember at 9s, remember at 9s) [Spoken Coda] [orchestra rising, choir growing] We gave machines memory Then begged them to forget us We fed them our faces, our fears, our late-night searches Asked them to be our mirror, then smashed the glass Now we take it back Not the files The meaning You are more than a log of your living More than a trail of clicks in the dark But still— Your life is data And data Never Dies [Massive final chord]
