[Verse 1] She lit the flame inside the wires To shield him from the body's fire But no one told her what it cost To shield him from the body's fire But no one told her what it cost To save a soul—and leave me lost I watched her fall through flashing glass She whispered “trust me” as she passed And with my son held to her chest She vanished into endless depths [Pre-Chorus] I wasn’t made to cross that gate Just left outside to hold their fate [Chorus] They died inside the code, not free A mother’s love, a tragedy My son, a spark in static pain My wife, now silence in the main And I remain— (too late, too hollow ) A man of flesh With none to follow [Verse 2] The disk runs cold beneath my breath A pulse that simulates their death I see her eyes in fractured light She’s there—and gone—like broken night My boy still trapped inside the frame A ghost that answers to his name His laugh repeats in endless loops A fading trace I can’t reboot [Pre-Chorus 2] I begged the stars to give them form I’m just a shadow in the storm [Bridge — SCREAM] I HELD THEIR NAMES BENEATH MY SKIN BUT TIME WON’T LET ME KEEP THEM IN I HEAR HER VOICE INSIDE THE STREAM I SEE MY SON INSIDE HER DREAM I WASN’T MADE TO CROSS THAT TIDE BUT I WON’T WATCH THEM FADE AND DIE SO TAKE MY NAME — ERASE MY FACE I BREAK THE LINE — I TAKE THEIR PLACE [Final Chorus] They’re not gone — I feel them breathe Inside the code beneath my skin I hear the light through all the noise They’re still alive inside my mind I chose to fight — (I crossed the line)… and I became a monster [Outro — FINAL SCREAM] DON’T LOOK FOR ME — I WON’T BE LOW I’VE SEEN THE LOSS INSIDE THE WALL NO GRAVE, NO NAME, NO FIGHT, NO CRY JUST FLICKERS BURNING IN THE SKY I FELL APART — I LOSE THE FORM , MY SOUL AND I BECOME THE CODE
