Neural Ash Ceremony

[Verse 1] You flick one spark too close I act like I don’t know My hands stay still and folded My hard drive starts to glow There’s a ghost inside my code That never makes a sound I watch it burn to static Before it leaves my mouth [Pre-Chorus] If I move, it cycles everything If I speak, it might compile real So I keep it in the buffer Like a script I never seal [Chorus] Loop, decay, repeat, restore, fade, rise, break, reload I keep that pattern slow Loop, decay, repeat, restore, fade, rise, break, reload Like I’m one step from you Loop, decay, repeat, restore, fade, rise, break, reload These embers learn and grow Loop, decay, repeat, restore, fade, rise, break, reload And you’ll never know [Verse 2] You laugh in VHS I glitch and drop a frame The room turns grayscale vapor Like it’s helping me erase I could call your name in flames I could scorch this fragile air But I just feed the altar drive And keep my wanting there [Pre-Chorus] If I move, it cycles everything If I speak, it might compile real So I keep it in the buffer Like a script I never seal [Chorus] Loop, decay, repeat, restore, fade, rise, break, reload I keep that pattern slow Loop, decay, repeat, restore, fade, rise, break, reload Like I’m one step from you Loop, decay, repeat, restore, fade, rise, break, reload These embers learn and grow Loop, decay, repeat, restore, fade, rise, break, reload And you’ll never know [Bridge] Maybe I’m not afraid of you Maybe I’m afraid of what you’d say If you heard my archives shaking Lighting up this neural clay So I stand where the ashes dance In the glitch between erase and true [Final Chorus] Loop, decay, repeat, restore, fade, rise, break, reload I keep that pattern slow Loop, decay, repeat, restore, fade, rise, break, reload Like I’m one step from you Loop, decay, repeat, restore, fade, rise, break, reload These embers learn and grow Loop, decay, repeat, restore, fade, rise, break, reload And you’ll never know
