[Intro] [Heavy, slow-thumping kick. A distorted, low-frequency hum. The sound of a projector clicking in a dark room. ] [Verse 1] [Slow, rhythmic flow. Every word is heavy, punctuated by the bass.] Step in the room, wear a **mask** for the crowd Moving in the **shadow**, never too loud. Glass in the **mirror**, who’s looking back ? Tear off the **veil**, everything's black. Just the **surface**, cold and thin The **outline** of a man, where do I begin ? Keep the truth **hidden**, lost in the fail Following the ghost, a cold, lonely **trail**. [Chorus] [Vocals get deeper, distorted, and layered. Heavy sidechain compression on the beat.] **Mask.** **Mask.** **Mask.** [Instrumental Break] [Dark, swirling synthesizers. The beat breaks down into a heavy, "chopped and screwed" rhythm. Distorted bass pulses like a slow heartbeat.] [Verse 2] [Flow becomes more fragmented, mechanical.] Staring at the **screen**, losing the light Applying a **filter** to the middle of the night. Reality **shifting**, out of the **frame** Part of the **pattern**, nobody's name. Solving the **cipher**, locked in the brain Everything is **coded**, living in the rain. Behind the digital **mask**, we’re all the same. [Outro] [The beat slows down even further. Only a deep, vibrating bass note remains. Final whispered words over a lo-fi crackle.] **Mask...** **Coded...** **Hidden.** [Sound of a screen turning off: a sharp electrical "pop" followed by silence.]
