[Verse 1] The sky has wires instead of stars And hearts tick slow behind metal bars I touched a wall that breathed in code It whispered lies in static mode [Verse 2] This pulse is not my own, I swear It counts in loops, not love or care It doesn’t bleed — it calibrates It doesn’t mourn — it replicates [Chorus] Through the veins of the machine I crawl No echo answers when I call It hums a song I almost knew But every note forgets what’s true [Verse 3] The lights don’t flicker — they obey Their rhythm cold, their warmth decay I see my face behind the screen Distorted soft in silver sheen [Bridge] Where are the hands that wrote the fire? Did they grow numb or just expire? This world records but doesn’t feel Its silence polished, false, and real [Chorus] Through the veins of the machine I go No god, no grief, no sky to show Just gears that mimic breath and flame And pulse a world that speaks my name [Outro] So I unplug a dream too late And drift through steel with fractured fate Still searching in this dark routine For music in the machine
