[Intro – distorted synth pulses, ghostly pads] (low rumble, distant metallic scrape) A pulse in the dark… Cold neon flicker… Something breathing in the wires tonight… [Verse 1 – metallic percussion begins: clanks, hollow echoes] The hallway lights blink out of time Shadows crawl across the lines Every screen is whispering Something buried in the machine Footsteps echo down the steel Like the walls can hear and feel Every circuit hums a name Calling softly through the frame (distant scraping sound) [Pre-Chorus – industrial rhythm rising] Hear the signal crack and bend Like a message with no end In the static, something wakes Every breath the darkness takes [Chorus – heavy industrial beat, distorted synth stabs] There’s static in the walls tonight Something crawling through the light Every signal starts to scream Like a glitch inside the dream Metal hearts begin to pound As the shadows gather round If you hear the wires cry— Don’t look back… don’t ask why [Verse 2 – warped noise effects, scraping percussion] Broken cameras watch the hall Every lens begins to crawl Voices layered in the sound Like the dead are gathered round Cold steel doors begin to shake Every lock begins to break Through the speakers comes a sigh Like a ghost that learned to lie (echoed metallic bang) [Pre-Chorus – tension build, synth distortion swelling] Hear the data twist and scream Every wire splits the seam In the circuits something grows In the dark nobody knows [Chorus – heavier beat, mechanical rhythm] There’s static in the walls tonight Something feeding off the light Every signal starts to scream Like a glitch inside the dream Metal hearts begin to pound As the shadows gather round If you hear the wires cry— Don’t look back… don’t ask why [Bridge – slow ambient horror section, ghostly pads] (whispered vocals) It’s inside the code… Inside the tone… Inside every broken phone… You can shut the doors… Kill the lights… But it lives inside the night… (metal scraping grows louder) [Final Chorus – chaotic industrial climax] Now the static floods the halls tonight All the shadows come alive Every signal tears the seam Breaking through the wired dream Metal screams begin to rise In the glow of fractured skies When the circuits start to cry— You’ll know something slipped inside… [Outro – fading synth drones, distant metallic echoes] (whisper) Still breathing… Still listening… In the walls… In the wires… Waiting…
