Zero Null Static | First Line Defense

[Verse 1] Your outline trembles, but never commits, a shiver caught halfway through the skin. Footsteps gather under the floorboards, waiting for weight that never descends. Your fingers hover, almost a signal, a spark that refuses to choose its path. Every muscle braced for the first command, locked in the breath before the breath. [Pre‑Chorus] Held in place Held in place [Chorus] Zero Null Static The deepest freeze beneath the towers, the pulse that waits but never fires. Silence at the point of origin, silence where the world begins to lean. [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] Light bends inward, caught in its landing, a beam held tight like a clenched fist. Shadows stretch but never detach, stuck in the moment before they fall. Your voice forms shapes behind your teeth, syllables waiting for a world to exist. Every choice circling the same cold center, every future folded into stillness. [Pre‑Chorus] Held in place Held in place [Chorus] Zero Null Static The deepest freeze beneath the towers, the pulse that waits but never fires. Silence at the point of origin, silence where the world begins to lean. [Bridge] We are the signal, trapped in the conduit, held in the glass before the surge. Faces unformed, numbers unwritten, waiting for the grid to take its breath. Under the black sky, the circuits listen, every last heartbeat folded away. No one is coming, no one is coming, just the hum of the unlit machine, and the city braced in steel. [Instrumental Break]
