[The Weightless Masterpiece] [ Verse 1: Male and Female Duet ] The studio air is a vacuum of light. The hardware is humming through shadows of night. Four screens are all glowing in rows on the wall. No shadows of effort are present at all. [ Chorus 1: Male and Female Duet ] The triumph we claim is a heavy disguise. And pride is the shadow that covers our eyes. When nothing is broken, then nothing is real. We lose every spark that we used to feel. [ Verse 2: Male and Female Duet ] They recall the sting of the calloused old skin. When losing the rhythm was never a sin. Old tapes in the corner are covered in rust. The years of the struggle have turned into dust. [ Chorus 2: Male and Female Duet ] The triumph we claim is a heavy disguise. And pride is the shadow that covers our eyes. When nothing is broken, then nothing is real. We lose every spark that we used to feel. [ Bridge: Male and Female Duet ] Cold glare. Blue light. A finger descends on the click of a key. The anthem is finished, the labor is free. One click. No pain. The export is over. And nothing is gained. [ Verse 3: Male and Female Duet ] The cursor sits still on a timeline of gray. A masterpiece plays in a perfect display. The notes never forced these dry fingers to ache. It sounds like a heart that was destined to break. [ Final Chorus: Male and Female Duet ] The triumph we claim is a hollow disguise. The spirit is watching while artistry dies. When nothing is broken, then nothing is true. We've built a perfection that we never knew. [ Outro: Male and Female Duet ] The speakers go silent. The master is done. The battle is over. But nobody won.
