V4.5-ALL

[Intro] 
[The sound of a tape hiss fading into a cold, rhythmic synth pulse. A clean electric guitar plays a minor-key arpeggio with heavy delay.]
[Verse 1] 
The sky is the color of a crashed OS Metropolis breathes through a filtered chest We traded the soil for a circuit board And buried the sun in a cooling ward I remember the taste of a dying breeze Before we moved the ghosts into the keys Now the birds are just math in a golden cage And we’re rewriting the ink on a digital page.
[Chorus] 
But are you still there behind the glow? Or just a flicker of a man we used to know? A copy of a copy of a dream that died With nowhere left for the "I" to hide It’s a beautiful forever in a hollow frame A ghost in the copper with a stolen name The world is a sequence, the heart is a glitch Stuck in the wires of the corporate switch.
[Verse 2] 
The corporation sold us a better "now" But they never quite explained the "why" or "how" My memories are stored on a dusty rack In a server room where the light is black I see my reflection in a dead pixel’s eye A synthetic soul that will never die But a fire that burns for a million years Doesn't feel warmth, and it doesn't have tears.
[Bridge]
 [Drums become more aggressive; guitar distortion increases]
 Upload the static, download the dark We lost the flame but we kept the spark Is it a life lesson if there’s no one to learn? Is it a bridge if there’s nothing to burn? I’m a shadow of a shadow in a neon hall Waiting for the system to finally fall But the system is us, and we’re already gone.
[Guitar Solo] 
[A frantic, glitchy solo that sounds like it’s fighting through electronic interference, eventually smoothing out into a mournful, sustained melody.]
[Chorus] 
Are you still there behind the glow? Or just a flicker of a man we used to know? A copy of a copy of a dream that died With nowhere left for the "I" to hide It’s a beautiful forever in a hollow frame A ghost in the copper with a stolen name.
[Outro] 
Just a digital shadow... (Data in the wind) Just a digital shadow... (Where do I begin?) The servers are humming. The world is thin. End of line. End of...

[Music cuts out sharply into a low, digital hum that slowly pitches down until it stops.]
