[Intro] [Verse 1] You say it’s back, but tell me where did it go? You don’t know House never left, you just cashed in the ghost You love the hype, not the sweat on the floor, you don’t know House never left, it was hid in the catacombs [Tempo shift: Accelerating polyrhythms, metallic scrapes] When you’re truly locked in, it strips your ego away Not just opening a laptop, not just chasing a payout, not just loops on replay, you know? Everybody’s making content Nobody’s taking risks That’s what it is [Pre-Build] I know where it started, it wasn’t built on churning out tracks It was born in the dark, sanctuary for the broken and black You wouldn’t stop, yeah, the algorithm keeps you fed, you know Sometimes the silence speaks louder than all of your synthetic noise That’s what it is [Breakdown] House was a healing Now it’s just bottle-service tickets at the door, you know I’m just watching the essence bleed out again, you know You sold the soul, tell the crowd that it’s back, it’s back You sold the soul, stripped the church into a trendy track You sold the soul, tell the crowd that it’s back, it’s back, you know You sold the soul, forgot the roots, left the origin trapped Yeah, New Jacks out there just copy the presets, forgetting the tears in the groove [Singularity Event] [Drop] You loop the surface! You loop the surface! You loop the surface! You loop the surface! You loop the surface! You loop the surface! You loop the surface! You loop the surface! You loop the surface! [Verse 3] When you get really locked in, it’s sacred You don’t do it for the festival lights, you do it 'cause you gotta survive, you know Everybody’s having fun now Few people know the grief That’s what it is [Deconstructed outro build] House never left, house never died You just commercialized the ghost, called it back, called it back House never left, it was right there inside, you know You just sold the vibe, sold the vibe, sold the vibe [Outro] You loop the surface We miss the soul [Silence] You loop the surface [System crash] We miss the soul
