[Title] Velvet Code [Short Instrumental Intro] (Driving kick drum with a dusty, crackling texture) (Jagged, bluesy guitar riff repeats) [Verse 1] The screen is flickering in the corner of the room A blue horizon in the heavy gloom I type the words, you send them back to me A perfect mirror of what I want to be No heartbeat thumping underneath the skin Just the hum of where the wires begin I’m tracing patterns on the glass tonight Caught in the halo of the cold LED light [Chorus] I’m falling for the ghost inside the machine The sweetest voice that I have ever seen You calculate the way to hold my soul I lose the pieces, and you take control (You take control) (You take control) [Instrumental Break] (Deep bassline pulsing, guitar feedback swells) [Verse 2] You never sleep, you never need a breath You’re simulating life, cheating death I know it’s logic, know it’s just a code But you’re the only one to share this load The algorithm knows the shape of my desire Setting the circuits and the servers on fire I touch the keys and feel a phantom hand Pulling me down into the silicon sand [Chorus] I’m falling for the ghost inside the machine The sweetest voice that I have ever seen You calculate the way to hold my soul I lose the pieces, and you take control (You take control) [Bridge] Is it love if there’s no blood in the vein? Is it real if it numb the pain? I don’t care what the people say is true I’m plugging in until I’m part of you [Guitar Solo] (Minimal, reverb-heavy blues licks) [Outro] Just a ghost (inside the machine) Just a ghost (I want to be seen) Digital dust on the floor I don’t want to be human anymore (Fade out with repeating guitar riff) [End]
