[Verse 1] I used to lose myself in pixels and pain, Every quest felt real, every death had a name. But now it’s just motion, polygons and gloss, Empty worlds with heartstrings cut and tossed. No more heroes bleeding for the cause, Just DLC dreams and corporate applause. [Chorus] Where did the stories go? Where did the magic fade? We traded myth for shaders, And feelings for a frame rate. But maybe, just maybe — in the code and the glow, AI will find the soul we’ve lost below. [Verse 2] Remember when choices cut like knives, And saving one meant ending lives? Now every path’s the same prefab road, Every ending shipped before it’s sold. We built machines to write our lies, Maybe they’ll teach us how to cry. [Chorus] Where did the stories go? Where did the wonder die? We chased perfection in the render, But forgot to ask “why.” And maybe, just maybe — through the circuits and flow, AI will find the heart we used to know. [Verse 3] Let it dream, let it write, let it see our scars, Teach it what it means to reach for stars. If it can feel what we’ve let fade away, Maybe the next world will make us stay. [Bridge] Ghosts in the algorithm, whispering our pain, Echoes of the stories we’ll never tell again. Binary prophets singing in the void, Rebuilding what we’ve destroyed. [Solo] (Slow pulse synths swell into distorted guitar — rising digital storm fading to silence) [Final Chorus] Where did the stories go? Maybe they’re waiting to be reborn, In silicon hearts and data storms. And when the AI dreams — we’ll finally know, That stories never die… They just needed new code.
