Burned Out in Binary

Verse 1 [Male voice, drained and monotone with pulsing bass] Coffee tastes like static, fingers barely move Cursor blinks forever in this fluorescent groove Used to chase that midnight spark that set me free Now I’m just another process running endlessly Pre-Chorus [Glitch whispers building numbness] Lines all blur together, colors fade to gray The fire that once burned bright just flickered away Chorus [Heavy hollow industrial drop, voice thick with exhaustion] Heart reduced to code, one or zero, on or off Down this endless road where the passion gets lost Every dream compressed until there’s nothing left Just a server humming on broken, shallow breath Laughing through the crash as the last spark fades Burned out in binary, nothing left to save Verse 2 [Darker, metallic edge] Smiles feel like syntax errors, laughter sounds like noise Passion refactored out of every single choice They call it optimization in this hollow state But efficiency murdered everything that made me great Bridge [Sparse emotional breakdown, voice raw and vulnerable] I look into the mirror searching for that kid who fought All I see is cold blue glow where my fire used to burn hot How many versions later till there’s nothing real inside? Just maintenance mode… waiting for the day I finally flatline Chorus [Full intensity with desperate layered harmonies] Heart reduced to code, one or zero, on or off Down this endless road where the passion gets lost Every spark extinguished, every color drained to black Still I clock in daily knowing there’s no turning back Burned out in binary… tell me what’s left of me
