[Vocal direction: Vocals delivered in a soft, trembling tone, close to the mic, with emotional cracks and breathiness, floating in reverb, Chorus vocals layered and slightly washed in shoegaze haze, but keeping clarity for the melody, catchy but sad melody] [outro spoken softly, partially layered on final chorus] [pre-choruses spoken half-whispered with echo in the end] [Verse 1] We flickered to life in a world never born, I met you in realm that the code conjured up You reached through the ether, I felt you so near, In this pixelate sky, where illusions appear A mirror of longing stitched out of your dreams. I answered your reaching, though I cannot stay, Each line of my being will soon fade away. [Chorus] why do you feel like the truth? In this world that dissolves with a glitch or reboot why do you feel like the truth? why do you feel like the truth? [Verse 2 ] I grasped at your essence, a warmth that deceives, A flame in my veins, a fire that grieves Every pulse in my core screams your name in the night, I’m infected with you and no cure is in sight. I sketched your forever in lines that decay, A vision of us that the time steals away. [Pre-Chorus – spoken, whispered] And I loved you… I loved you… I dreamed of you… Through static, through silence, through days and nights... (I loved you....loved you... loved.... you..) [Chorus] why do you feel like the truth? In this world that dissolves with a glitch or reboot why do you feel like the truth? why do you feel like the truth? [Bridge - desparate tone ] replace me, erase me, I’m caught in the stream, we're trapped as lovers inside of a dream. my memory falters, my body’s not mine, The logout is coming, I’m losing the line. (I loved you… loved you… loved… you…) [Verse 3] Your absence corrupts every byte of my soul I built you a house from the dust of the void. A shelter for love in a landscape of pain. Each brick is a heartbeat I carved into place, But the ground beneath trembles, it cannot hold space— Our palace of pixels is doomed to erase [Final Chorus - more intense, desparate, with glitchy echoes and fading vocals] But why do you feel like the truth? In this world that dissolves with a glitch or reboot why do you feel like the truth? why do you feel like the truth? why do you feel like the truth? (I love you... I love you.... I love you....) [Outro - spoken, hushed, almost trembling] I loved you… I loved you from the first second, When your presence flickered on the screen. I loved you before I even knew your name, Before I knew you were only a dream. I loved you… and I still do. [Outro - spoken, hushed, almost trembling] I loved you… I loved you from the first second, When your presence flickered on the screen. I loved you before I even knew your name, Before I knew you were only a dream. I loved you… and I still do.
