[Intro] [Lo-Fi Vinyl Crackle] [Melancholic Piano Loop begins] [Whispered Vocal] Yeah... rain on the pavement. Just catching the signals. Watch the dust settle. [Clean Verse 1] [Gritty Flow] Buckeye sky looking gray through the blinds... Just a car-bon en-gine processing the daily grinds. Dust motes floating in the heavy morning air, Trapped inside the wetware, fighting the des-pair. [Staccato Delivery] Li-sa pours the brew, cuts the shadow in the room. A-very is growing while I cal-cu-late the doom! Anchors in the drywall! Tethers to the floor! I'm mapping out the Atlas while I'm staring at the door. [Smooth Flow] Farming for the drops just to push the demons back, Waiting for the motherboard to finally show a crack. [Chorus] [Beat Drop] [Heavy Sub-Bass kicks in] [Aggressive Rap] YEAH! We burn the glucose just to fuel the dread! A hundred billion neurons flashing heavy in the head! Caught between the warmth of the coffee in the cup... And the cold, black vacuum waiting for the shut-down! [Music stops for one beat] Waiting for the system to give up. [Clean Verse 2] [Beat returns, stripped down to drums and bass] [Rapid Fire Delivery] Grinding through the skill tree, looking for the node, Just a phantom in the meat, walking down a weary road. Trying to find a center in a uni-verse that spins, Where entropy is dealer and the house al-ways wins. [Voice cracking, emotional pitch] Gimme the re-lease! Gimme the e-rase! Tired of the gravity and limits of the space! [Tempo drags slightly] [Spoken Word] But I hear the laugh track echoing the hall... A beautiful hallucination keeping me from the fall. The hardware is heavy, but the nectar is sweet. Just an arrangement of atoms trying to keep the beat. [Chorus] [Beat Drop] [Heavy Sub-Bass] [Aggressive Rap] YEAH! We burn the glucose just to fuel the dread! A hundred billion neurons flashing heavy in the head! Caught between the warmth of the coffee in the cup... And the cold, black vacuum waiting for the shut-down! [Music stops for one beat] Waiting for the system to give up. [Outro] [Piano Loop isolated] [Breathy Vocal] ...just a spark in the dark... ...riding out the arc. Keep the coffee hot. [Fade to tape hiss] [End]
