[Intro]

[Verse]
Once so full of life
Running wild and free
White lines on asphalt
Metal slammed into me

Red lights, gray voices
Couldn't catch my breath,
The monitor flatlined
Doctors called my death.

Date and time logged
My life gone fast
But time stuttered, rewound
And history lost my past

[Pre-Chorus]
The code of life squirms
'Neath the skin of things,
I'm a broken puppet
With godlike strings.

[Chorus]
I’m the Glitch~
Rewriting what's never been
Spinning the wheel
To try again

I died once
But I'm a kat in a box
Still alive
Hack all the clocks
I’m The Glitch

[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Forever I stand
Where the wreck happened
No scars, no pain for me
No bloody mess, all clean

Shattered bones, not mine
Every part of me, gone
Just memories stuck in my head
Of history undone

From beyond the grave
I learned a trick
Death won't touch me now
My soul gives 'em the ick

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't call me a saint
I’m not a god,
I’m just a typo
In a mod

[Chorus]
I’m the Glitch~
Rewriting what's never been
Spinning the wheel
To try again

I died once
But I'm a kat in a box
Still alive
Hack all the clocks
I’m The Glitch

[Bridge]
Every tragedy’s a loaded die,
I don’t save the world—I just retry.
In back alleys and hospital halls,
I listen for your dying calls.
I’m restless, wired, never still,
Good intention with deadly will.
If I fix everything
What breaks in me?
Unraveling threads
Of life's tapestry

[Chorus]
I’m the Glitch~
Rewriting what's never been
Spinning the wheel
To try again

I died once
But I'm a kat in a box
Still alive
Hack all the clocks
I’m The Glitch

[Outro]
I'm the stutter
In the night
Restoring hope
To your plight

I don’t rest
I don’t quit,
I push, I pull
Sometimes I kick

You can't flee Death
Draw your last breath
I can give you one more chance
At life's chaotic dance~

Reality can be a bitch
"But I'M the Glitch"

I'M the Glitch
I'M the Glitch

This song is the origin song for the heroine called The Glitch, whose civilian name is Mia Han. A Korean-American female college student, Mia was struck by a truck and died, but a glitch in the fabric of time and space restored her to life, as though she'd never been struck. Or maybe it shunted her consciousness to her body in an alternate universe. Who's to know, really? She believes her reality changed, and that's the story she's sticking with.

After her restoration, Mia discovered that by being in the proximity of someone who has died recently, her presence can glitch them back to life. It doesn't always work, and the only control she has over the power is to try to be nearby when someone accidentally dies. Her power doesn't help anyone who dies from natural causes. She also can't help anyone whose soul has been "harvested".

She sees herself in a superhero uniform... except when she looks in the mirror, in which case she sees herself as non-supers see her. Anyone with superpowers will see Mia as The Glitch in her sparkly uniform. Anyone without superpowers will see Mia as the college girl Mia.

Mia's main rival is Soul Collector, the dark man with green hair in the cover video. Soul Collector uses the energy of the dying to charge up his superpowers, which include teleportation. Another origin song will go into Soul Collector's background, but it's pretty evident that he's none too happy about The Glitch restoring the dead to life, thus preventing Soul Collector from harvesting their energies. On the other hand, if he does manage to harvest all their energies once they die, then The Glitch can't restore them to life.
