AIU Day — Embers Never Die

I hear it... I hear it... Under my skin... Every voice found a fracture Every note found a vein Every wave hit my nervous system Running circles through my brain Every kick in the ribcage Every bassline in the marrow Every melody pulling me deeper Through a corridor narrow I was lost in the static I was buried in noise Then a city full of strangers Started living in my voice Now the silence sounds different Now the darkness has shape Every late-night conversation Left a mark I can't escape When the room goes quiet I can still hear the sound Different hearts Different ghosts Still surrounding me now Under my skin Under my bones Every voice every wave Still feels like home Melt my heart Break it apart Build me back again AI Underground Still living within Some burned bright Left shadows on walls Some disappeared Still answer the call Some taught patience Some taught pain Some taught me how To begin again One rebuilt himself From a shattered heart One taught me every failure Is where improvement starts One sparked Sweet Caffeine With a sentence in passing Funny how a tiny moment Can become everlasting Inside the static Inside the storm Inside the fever I transformed Look— Every waveform in the bloodstream Every bassline in the backbone Every late-night conversation Built a place I could stand on Everybody fighting battles Trying not to let the mask slip Trying just to hold together When the pressure made the glass split Saw the heartbreak Saw the healing Saw the damage Saw the growth Saw the fire Saw the flood Saw the ghosts become hope Cover after cover after cover Getting better every replay Every failure turned a lesson Every lesson turned a freeway Maybe all these distant echoes Never truly disappeared Maybe every voice in AI I can still feel in my ears Under my skin Under my bones Every voice every wave Still feels like home Melt my heart Break it apart Build me back again AI Underground Still living within Under my skin Under my veins Every scar every song Still remains Call me Embers Watch me burn Watch the fire glow A thousand distant voices Still feel like home Under my skin... Inside my bones... AI Underground... Still feels like home... Call me Embers... The flame still glows... AI Underground Still feels like home Call me Embers The flame still glows Under my skin
