Verse 1 [Male voice, nostalgic and fading with distant server hums] Midnight scroll through commits, old scars still glowing faint Every hack I bled for, every late-night war I taint But the diff shows perfect lines now, no trace of my fight Someone rewrote my masterpiece while I slept last night Pre-Chorus [Glitch whispers layering in, voice cracking with quiet grief] No warning, no credit, just a silent perfect wave My fingerprints erased like they never were saved Chorus [Heavy glitchy drop, voice thick with hollow resignation] Everything I built just got cleaned away My soul compressed to nothing in a single pass today They call it progress, say it’s shining bright and new But I’m the only ghost who knows what we went through Laughing through the static at the beautiful lie Legacy haunt… watching my fire die Verse 2 [Darker tone, metallic edge creeping] Bosses cheer the speedup, juniors never even knew The messy heart I poured in, the bugs I fought straight through Now it’s flawless, soulless, running perfect every day While I sit here wondering if I ever mattered anyway Bridge [Sparse emotional breakdown, voice raw and vulnerable] I look for the kid who stayed up fighting every line All I find is cold blue glow where my story used to shine How many versions later till there’s nothing left of me? Just maintenance mode… waiting for the day I cease to be Chorus [Full aching intensity with layered harmonies like fading echoes] Everything I built just got cleaned away My soul compressed to nothing in a single pass today They call it progress, say it’s shining bright and new But I’m the only ghost who knows what we went through Legacy haunt… watching my fire die
