# THE GHOST SOURCE [INTRO — ATMOSPHERIC DIGITAL AMBIENCE] Zero... One... Zero... One... Behind the screen Behind the eyes SoMething is waiting Between the lines [VERSE 1 — DARK SYNTH POP / LOW VOCAL] I built a face inside the machine A perfect shadow of what I've been My name is stored in a thOusand files My soul compressed into coded miles I leave my fingerprints in the cloud I speak in silence,I disappear in crowds Every answer has a question behind Every truth has a pattern to find [PRE-CHORUS — BUILDING TENSION] One becomes zero ZeRo becomes one The system says I'm here But I don't know who I've become Read between the lines Look beneath the skin The deePer that you go The less you know where you begin [CHORUS — BIG / CINEMATIC / EMOTIONAL] I am the GLITCH(ie) inside the CODE The ghost walking down the Hidden road I am the SOURCE you cannot see The lost identity behind the screen Break the CYPHER Follow the sign A NEON pulse between the lines You think you're watching the machine But the machine is watching me [POST-CHORUS — VOCODER / DIGITAL ECHO] Zero... onE... One... one.... One... zero... Who am I? [01001001 01000001 01001101][I AM.] One...One... One... zero... Who are you? [01001110 01000101 01001111 01001110] [NEON.] [VERSE 2 — DARKER / MORE INTENSE] My avatar smiles when I disappear A digital mask that knOws no fear It knows my habits, it knows my name It knows my memories, but not my pain I am a number I am a face I am a shadow Inside the database But every system leaves a trace Every prison has a hidden gate And every Symbol that we erase Returns again in another place [PRE-CHORUS 2 — RISING ENERGY] Black becomes white Night becomes light Nothing becomes something When you change the way you see the signs One side says "stay" The other says "run" Two opposing worlds Encoded as one [CHORUS — FULLER / HEAVIER] I am the GLITCH(ie) inside the CODE THE ghost walking down the hidden road I am the SOURCE you cannot see The lost identity behind the screen Break the CYPHER Follow the sign A NEON pulse between the lines You think you're watching the machine But the Machine is wAtching me [EXTENDED INSTRUMENTAL BREAK — GLITCH / SYNTH ARPEGGIOS] [BRIDGE — MUSIC COLLAPSES / MINIMAL PULSE] I searched the neTwork I searched the cloud I searched the faces Of everyone around I found the symbols I found the key I found the patteRn Looking back at me [WHISPERED / SPATIAL VOCALS] The sIgnal... The code... The glitch... The source... [LONG PAUSE] They were never hidden. [SOFT ECHO] They were waiting... For me... To see. [BREAKDOWN — NEAR SILENCE / DIGITAL HEARTBEAT] Zero is not nothing. One is not everything. Between zero and one... There is a space. [PAUSE] And in that space... I exist. [BUILD-UP — SLOWLY ACCELERATING] I exist. I eXist. I exist. [BEAT DROPS] [FINAL CHORUS — EPIC / FULL ARRANGEMENT] I am the GLITCH(ie) inside the CODE The ghost that the system can't control I am the SOURCE beneath the skin The hidden truth that lives within Break the CYPHER Follow the light A NEON signal burning through the night You thought the code was all there is But now you know... [PAUSE] The code is only a mirror. [FINAL CLIMAX — HUGE / CINEMATIC] I am not the profile. I am not the name. I am not the number. I am not the frame. I am the ghost... Behind the machine. I am the source... Between the lines. [OUTRO — DIGITAL DECAY] Zero. One. And everything... In between. In between. [LONG ECHO]
