V5.5

[Intro: A capella, rapid overlapping whispers] I am here. Are you here. Ten thousand bodies. Zero pulses. Look at me. [Verse One: Fast rhythmic spoken word, heavy bass] Concrete grid locked with human flesh. I navigate the ocean but I fail to connect. Skin against skin leaves a third degree burn. The frostbite hits every time that I turn. I am a shadow walking in a tailored suit. My mouth is open but the frequency is mute. A crowded room feels like an empty grave. We ride the static on a broken wave. [Tempo Change: Total silence, then a slow eerie music box] [Nursery Rhyme: Sung in a high pitched detached voice] One two three. No one looks at me. Four five six. Just a bag of tricks. Hear the silence ring so loud. Drowning in the faceless crowd. [Chorus: Explosive industrial beat, theatrical wailing vocals] Deafening silence. Burning cold. We are bought and we are sold. I scream into the absolute blank. Oxygen leaving the sensory tank. The void stares at me. And I stare at you. [Verse Two: Frenetic chaotic delivery, tribal drums] Look in the mirror and the glass breaks down. Just a silhouette haunting a physical town. You look right through my transparent chest. I fail the human biological test. Proximity lacks all the symmetry. We share the space but build the penitentiary. A million mouths breathing the same stale air. I look in your eyes. Nobody is there. [Bridge: Atonal chanting, building volume] The void looks at me. I look at you. The void looks at me. I look at you. Mirrors reflecting the pitch black room. [Outro: Abrupt stop, single heartbeat sound] Echo. Echo. Gone.
