Welcome back, to The Stone Age. II
[INTRO (Instrumental Only) ] [Slow fade-in of mid-range synth chatter, a frenetic, anxious stream of consciousness, like emergency feeds breaking up] [No bass, no highs, only thin mid-tone textures, brittle and overloaded] [Add glitchy stutters and dropouts, as if the system is failing] [Include brief cut-outs, just long enough to feel like “is the power going?”, then return weaker, trembling] [Verse 1] We drifted on through borrowed days, Clinging to our glowing haze. Thought the light was here to stay. But I said it wouldn’t go that way... (low rumble) Warm night tones, fading from the screens, Orange glow, where the blue had been. Told you once… yeah, I told you twice Comfort always comes, with a price. [Pre-Chorus] Solar winds begin to rise… Hear them hum, like dying wires sigh. I warned you when, the sky turned strange. Now welcome back, to the Stone Age. [Chorus] When the contract runs out, Don’t pretend, you never heard my doubt. When the battery dies, Watch the dark reflect, in your eyes. No more humming, no more cage. Told you so… The Stone Age. [Verse 2] Not just the phones—no, everything goes: Every light, every fuse, every glow. You laughed, when I said the grid was frail. Now you're praying, it won’t fail. Hear the silence? That’s the truth... Raw and sharp, as a broken tooth. Thought the world, would always hum… But here we are. I told you it’d come. [Pre-Chorus] Solar fire across the black, And all your comfort, won’t come back. You mocked the warnings, called them strange Look who’s shivering, in The Stone Age. [Chorus] When the contract runs out, No signal left to scream or shout. When the battery dies, I’ll watch the fear crawl up your spine. No more power, no more page. Told you so… The Stone Age. [OUTRO (Instrumental Only) ] [After the final lyric, trigger a crunchy digital power-down glitch, like circuits collapsing] [Bits of broken audio crumble away] [Leave a thin, high-pitched electrical whine: “eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee—” Hold it, sad and lonely, then abruptly SCHT! ] [Finish with a heavy metallic clunk and a final thud, as if the last machine has shut down.] [End in complete silence]
