GHOST DATA Persona — Vocal Identity Edition [Intro] [SFX: hard drive spinning, electrical interference] [SFX: radio frequency scanning] [FEMALE ANIME SPOKEN] There’s something in the files. [MALE EXHAUSTED SPOKEN] Delete it. [FEMALE ANIME SPOKEN] I already did. [SFX: hard drive clicking] [SFX: corrupted audio repeating] [MALE HOLLOW WHISPERED] Still here… [MALE DISTORTED WHISPERED] Still here… [MALE DEMONIC SHOUTED] ERASE THAT SHIT! [Instrumental] [SFX: bass drop] [Verse 1] [MALE RHYTHMIC RAP] Dead files, red light, Something moving out of sight. Old code, new face, Somebody living in the empty space. Dead air, low light, Something’s breathing on the other side. No name, no trace, Still got my voice, still got my face. [MALE FAST RAP] Dig it, dig it, Dig that deep. Wake it, wake it, Out of sleep. Burn it, burn it, Burn that track. Deleted once, But it came right back. [Chorus] [MALE MELODIC SUNG] Ghost data, ghost data, Running through my mind. Something in the static That I thought I left behind. Ghost data, ghost data, Coming through the black. Erase it, erase it, But it keeps coming back. [MALE RHYTHMIC RAP] Erase it, erase it, Erase that shit. Kill the signal, Don’t let it in. [MALE MELODIC SUNG] Ghost data, ghost data, Tell me what you see. Something in the system Sounds a lot like me. [Instrumental] [SFX: chopped vocal echoes] [Break] [SFX: rapid radio channel flipping] [MALE TEEN SPOKEN] Wasn’t me. Wish it was. [SFX: channel click] [MALE DEMONIC SHOUTED] LET ME FIND IT. [SFX: channel click] [MALE CHILD SCARED SPOKEN] It knows my name. [SFX: channel click] [MALE SOUTHERN SPOKEN] Nobody touches him. [SFX: channel click] [FEMALE ANIME SPOKEN] That’s not one of us. [MALE CONFUSED SPOKEN] Then who is it? [FEMALE DISTORTED WHISPERED] You already know. [SFX: frequency collapse] [Instrumental] [SFX: bass drop] [Verse 2] [MALE RHYTHMIC RAP] Back door, locked screen, Something hiding in the machine. One voice, two lies, Another shadow behind my eyes. Old tape, rewind, Broken pieces of another life. Black box, blue flame, Every file got a different name. [MALE FAST RAP] Scan it, scan it, Scan that line. Find it, find it, What’s inside? Break it, break it, Break that code. Something’s living In the overload. [Chorus] [MALE MELODIC SUNG] Ghost data, ghost data, Running through my mind. Something in the static That I thought I left behind. Ghost data, ghost data, Coming through the black. Erase it, erase it, But it keeps coming back. [MALE RHYTHMIC RAP] Erase it, erase it, Erase that shit. Kill the signal, Don’t let it in. [MALE MELODIC SUNG] Ghost data, ghost data, Tell me what you see. Something in the system Sounds a lot like me. [Instrumental] [SFX: piano riff, bass drop] [Bridge] [SFX: cassette slowing] [SFX: radio channel scanning] [MALE RELAXED SPOKEN] Man, just leave it alone. [SFX: channel click] [MALE HOLLOW SPOKEN] Everything comes back eventually. [SFX: channel click] [MALE ROMANTIC SPOKEN] I know that voice… [SFX: channel click] [FEMALE ANIME SPOKEN] I can’t keep fixing this. [MALE DEMONIC GROWL] WE DON’T NEED HIM. [MALE SOUTHERN SPOKEN] Don’t bring strangers in here. [SFX: channel click] [MALE CHILD HAPPY SPOKEN] I remember him! [SFX: abrupt silence] [FEMALE ANIME WHISPERED] You do? [MALE CHILD SPOKEN] He used to help us. [SFX: corrupted female laughter] [FEMALE DISTORTED WHISPERED] Come find me. [FEMALE ANIME SHOUTED] That’s not me! [Break] [SFX: radio signal cutting out] [MALE CONFUSED WHISPERED] Then where are you? [FEMALE ANIME WHISPERED] Right here. [FEMALE DISTORTED WHISPERED] Right here. [SFX: simultaneous radio clicks] [Instrumental] [SFX: heavy bass drop] [Final Chorus] [MALE MELODIC SUNG] Ghost data, ghost data, Running through my mind. Something in the static That I thought I left behind. Ghost data, ghost data, Coming through the black. Erase it, erase it, But it keeps coming back. [MALE RHYTHMIC RAP] Erase it, erase it, Erase that shit. Kill the signal, Don’t let it in. [MALE MELODIC SUNG] Ghost data, ghost data, Tell me what you see. Something in the system Sounds a lot like me. [Instrumental] [SFX: rapid channel flipping] [Outro] [SFX: hard drive slowing] [SFX: faint electrical static] [FEMALE ANIME SPOKEN] I found the corrupted file. [MALE CONFUSED SPOKEN] Can you fix it? [FEMALE ANIME SPOKEN] I can try. [SFX: single hard drive click] [MALE DISTORTED WHISPERED] Don’t. [FEMALE ANIME SPOKEN] Why? [MALE DISTORTED SPOKEN] Because I’m not the corrupted one. [SFX: sudden power failure] [Outro]
