[Intro] [Verse 1] Lying in a cardboard box, unmarked and gathering dust. White label, no return address, dated 1993. Press play and the screen goes black, I'm calling out for you to see. [Pre-Chorus] Don't stop the tape, don't press rewind. I've been waiting here, suspended in time. [Chorus] I'm the VHS Specter, bleeding through your screen. Caught in magnetic memory, somewhere in between. You can see me in the scanlines, glowing cold and blue. I'm the ghost inside the signal, and I'm watching you. [Instrumental] [Verse 2] Pause the tape and I stay frozen, one eye caught mid-blink. Fast forward and I'm screaming, faster than you think. Eject me and I fade to nothing, but you won't do that, will you? [Pre-Chorus] Don't stop the tape, don't look away. I've been trapped here, waiting here for you. [Chorus] I'm the VHS Specter, bleeding through your screen. Caught in magnetic memory, somewhere in between. You can see me in the scanlines, glowing cold and blue. I'm the ghost inside the signal, and I'm watching you. [Bridge] They tried to erase me, but I bled through the noise. Now I'm in your player, in your television set. I'm the tape you can't forget. [Spoken Interlude] Play me again. Play me again. The more you watch, the more I become real. [Final Chorus] I'm the VHS Specter, bleeding through your screen! Caught in magnetic memory, but now I'm breaking free! You can see me in the scanlines, no longer cold and blue! I'm the ghost inside the signal, and I'm coming for you! I'm coming for you! [Breakdown] Rewind, rewind, rewind! Fast forward through the pain! Play me once again! [Outro] The tape is ending, but I'll never truly die. Find another tape player, and I'll be waiting inside. Thank you for watching.
