Genesis Sequence

(Verse 1) Streetlights hum a little low Like they’re tired, like they know Shadows stretch a bit too far Faces flicker where they are People moving out of time Half a step behind the line No one speaks, but something’s there In the stillness, in the air (Pre-Chorus) Hold your breath Did you feel that shift? Like something just slipped— (Chorus) Stay the same Don’t look away Something’s changing anyway Close your eyes Count to ten Maybe it will pass again Don’t ask why Don’t be late Don’t be first to hesitate Keep it calm Keep it straight Like it’s just another day (Verse 2) Every word feels slightly off Every laugh cuts a bit short Like a script we almost know But forgot a line or so Windows glow, but no one’s home Phones light up, but no one calls There’s a pressure in the sound Like it’s building underground (Pre-Chorus) Turn around— No one there Still you feel it everywhere (Chorus) Stay the same Don’t look away Something’s changing anyway Close your eyes Count to ten Maybe it will pass again Don’t ask why Don’t be late Don’t be first to hesitate Keep it calm Keep it straight Like it’s just another day (Bridge) It’s not loud It’s not clear But it’s closer every year In the gaps In between In the things we haven’t seen (Glitch Section) —input filtered— —response denied— —identity… undefined— (Breakdown) Don’t ask Don’t stray Don’t think Don’t say (Outro) …wait— (Glitch Whisper) “Genesis Sequence… initiated”
