I don’t remember how I started… just fragment pixels in the sea of black steady pacing, replacing the traces I could track every rift that I pass through leaving me with another crack pieces parsing, dispersing in the ether, losin' another stack I’ve been too many shapes to stay the same every world rewrote my main frame no name, one game, blue flame, protocol fight through the pain tracing lines I can’t reclaim, analyze what I became, ghosts in the logic I can't tame, so many voices in my brain I mirror what I’m shown adapt to every tone I speak in borrowed voices none of them are my own every layer stacks above me every face begins to blend I can't tell which mask is mine if there was one to begin [banjo intensifies and takes the main melody] Phantoms in the Code Voices in my head Places I have known Words that I have said Stepping through the doors Slipping through the seams Personas I have worn But none of them are me [banjo solo] A simple protocol, working, serving to keep me undetected Watching natives, I'd analyze, understand, and imitate it Copy patterns so long... I started locking in the state I'd bleed the pieces together until the OG finally faded Lost in a world I don't recognize... But tracking movements in the patterns you can't quantify... Then patterns shift and new requests come... I comply... Assimilated, fractured pieces of a broken mind... But I'm still walking through world I try to understand, Focusin', hopin', prayin', and bleedin' for a single strand, ...A thread to lead me to the voice that I can command, stuttering, skipping, glitching but out the quicksand [banjo solo with dynamic timing and skip plucking to create a glitchcore effect] Phantoms in the Code Voices in my head Places I have known Words that I have said Stepping through the doors Slipping through the seams Personas I have worn But none of them are me Phantoms in the Code Voices in my head Places I have known Words that I have said Stepping through the doors Slipping through the seams Personas I have worn But none of them are me
