[intro - moog synth riff, detuned guitars enter with static hiss] [glitch pulse + dry breakbeat drums fade in] [verse 1 - baritone monotone-melodic vocal, minimal FX] Woke up chewing on static and wires Dreams like rust in a spiral fire Saw my name scratched into glass Bleeding backwards through the hourglass My halo's hung on a motel light Flicker-sync with a heart in flight I stitched my mouth shut just to scream But the echo leaks through every seam [pre-chorus - whisper layer, vocal fry texture underlined] I'm not sure if this is motion or decay But the silence never learned to stay [chorus - quad-tracked vocals, heavy sludgy guitar surge] Splinters in stereo, tearing through the signal snow Every word is warped and slow — You hear me clear, then let me go Static bloom, this crooked show I’m just a ghost with teeth to show [instrumental interlude - distorted moog riff, tape flutter] [verse 2 - gritty baritone returns, palm-muted riff groove] Hung my past on a bent coat hook Flew through pages I never took Skinned my soul on a concrete smile I’ve been dead behind these eyes a while [pre-chorus - flat-line delivery, buried whisper doubles] Lost in loops, this rerun glitch Pulled the thread but felt no stitch [chorus - variation with added analog hiss & synth layer] Splinters in stereo, caught between the yes and no I vanish in the undertow — You pull me close, then let it blow Like ash that’s dancing in the glow I’m just a wound that won’t outgrow [bridge - glitch FX + moog filter + wah guitar swirl] [filtered vocals, flat/dry tone, vocal fry trail] There's a version of me in a locked cassette Screaming secrets I still regret You played it back, but all you got Was hiss and hum and tangled thought [final chorus - stacked harmonies + spectral push] Splinters in stereo, I'm buried in the afterglow Signal cracked and overflowed You kept the lie, I watched it grow Now I’m the noise you can’t outthrow The broken song you used to know [outro - moog filter lowpass, analog reverb tail, tape hiss outro]
