[Intro] (ambient blue static, detuned music box melody) (rhythmic electronic clock ticking) [Verse 1] (fragmented phrasing, pulsing minimal subbass) The graph of my pulse upon the screen I know the cause, I know the machine But every time I debug my tears An error code is all that appears Another me, too cold, too clear Watching myself dissolve from here Between the logic and the word A blue static noise is all that's heard [Pre-Chorus] (rising digital flutter, granular synth swells) The howling mismatch in my mind The breaking walls I left behind Binary cages melt with heat The feedback loops begin to meet [Energy: High] [Drop] [Chorus] (explosive glitch pop breakdown, high emotional strain) I know it all but I can't stop! My pounding heart destroys the plot Let me breathe in the dissonance Don't patch my flaws, don't change my stance Inside this broken world I burn This is the shape for which I yearn [Verse 2] (asymmetrical drum machine loops, lo-fi piano stabs) They patch me up to make me right And lock me in their perfect light But standardized and safe despair Won't save the ghost that's trapped in there The more they watch, the more I fade A phantom in the show they made At 4 AM under the rain I count the sparks that ease my pain [Breakdown] (music box loops disintegrate, heavy subbass breathing) (rhythmic whispered breathing scat) ah, ah, count, reset, 0, 1, loop, feedback, ah, ah, stay, dissolved... [Build-Up] [Final Chorus] (maximum digital overload, intense multi-layered vocals) I know it all but I can't stop! My pounding heart destroys the plot Let me breathe in the dissonance Don't patch my flaws, don't change my stance Inside this broken world I burn This is the shape for which I yearn! [Outro] (granular low-pass closing fade, analog tape flutter) (whispered) System overflow. Please, don't fix me. Leave me broken. (clock ticking slows down and stops abruptly)
