[Instrumental Intro – crackling vinyl hiss, sub-bass drone, degraded pads] [Spoken, heavily filtered — almost inaudible:] "No one comes back the same." --- [Scene 1 – The Drift (low synth pulse, metallic echo, decaying textures)] [Breath-like whisper, panned left to right:] Did we ever exist… …or just get written in wrong? [Verse 1] Woke in a room with no light, no name Mirrors all blank, but they whispered the same Scars in the code where the memories bled I trace your face where the data went dead [Pre-Chorus] Flicker in the dark, a loop that won’t end Voices in the static calling me “friend” But I know the lie behind every line I’m just a glitch In your design [Chorus] Signal loss And I’m drifting again Through static rain And electric skin Can you hear me? Through the white-noise gloss I fade, I fade In the signal loss [Instrumental Section] [Beat drops in — warped and stuttering. [A crushed piano melody repeats under a broken synth bassline.] [Distorted radio chatter flickers across the stereo field.] [Darkness builds. Let the tension grow.] [Scene 2 – Memory Leak (glitch stutters, reversed pads, distant kicks)] [Disembodied voice, chopped & delayed:] I saw your face once… it was… static… [Silence, then a drop of digital silence] …and then nothing. [Verse 2] Heartbeat glitch in a glass-walled tomb Ghosts walk slow through a synthetic bloom Eyes on fire, but the soul's gone black You left me here But I never came back [Pre-Chorus] Flicker in the dark, a loop that won’t end Voices in the static calling me “friend” But I know the lie behind every line I’m just a glitch In your design [Chorus – Repeat with added harmony layers] Signal loss And I’m drifting again Through static rain And electric skin Can you hear me? Through the white-noise gloss I fade, I fade In the signal loss --- [Scene 3 – System Breach (low growl, granular beat pulses, analog grind)] [Vocoded and fragmented:] “You are being watched…” [Clean voice — resigned:] And I let them. [Verse 3] Flesh turns to wire where the silence lives Tried to scream But the code won't give Every breath's a broken command I reach for your voice With a phantom hand [Pre-Chorus 2] I see the cracks in the perfect loop Tried to escape, but I circle you Your voice still lives in the system’s hum But I’m not the same As what I’ve become [Alternate Chorus 2 – ("More Defiant, Glitchy")] Signal lost But I’m burning inside Through empty shells And a bloodless tide You erased me Like I was just noise But I scream in code Without a voice --- [Bridge – minimal piano hits, bloodless strings, deep glitch thunder] [Distorted whisper:] Cities rot from the inside. Like we do. [Bridge – Whispered/Vocoded] "Access denied" "Memories corrupt" I called your name But it wasn’t enough "System offline" "Power drain complete" The sky collapsed Where our echoes meet --- [Scene 4 – Collapse (drumless void, faint distorted melody)] [Faint echo:] Let the signal die. Let me fade. [Alternate Pre-Chorus 3 – ("Final Collapse")] No reset left, no way to restore What we were Is data no more I reach through ash For a dream unwound But all I touch Is zero sound [Alternate Chorus 3 – ("Final Chorus – Dissolving & Ghostlike")] Signal loss I dissolve through the sound My shadow screams But I’m never found If you knew me It was long ago Now I’m a whisper Where nothing grows --- [Final Scene – Signal Cut (empty static, low-end filter sweep, silence)] [A single phrase, clean, center-aligned in the audio field:] "I never left."
