Protocol // City of Chrome

High-gloss cyberpunk pop with glitchy vocal chops and stutter edits; verses ride a pulsing synth bass and tight electronic drums, choruses bloom with stacked vocoder harmonies and bitcrushed accents, bridge dives into distorted, glitch-ridden AI monologue over sparse pads and metallic hits, glitch

[Intro] Boot sequence Cold blue scan Welcome to the district Run the program [Verse 1] Night shift Metal halos Cameras carve the sky in grids Steel saints on the crosswalk Reading every shake of your ribs Neon badges on their iris Serial numbers in their stare Ask your name Search your memories Before you even know they're there [Chorus] This is protocol We don’t call it law anymore Just a silent ping And a locked-down door If your heartbeat Doesn’t match the form Then the sirens sing in code (erro-r-r, re-loa-d) This is protocol In the city of chrome [Verse 2] Android on the corner Smiles in factory default Cyborg with a carbon jaw Weighs your secrets like salt Mecha shadows overhead Tracking patterns in your stride If you ever step off-script They rewind the last ten nights [Chorus] This is protocol We don’t call it law anymore Just a flashing glyph And a frozen floor If your footprint Doesn’t fit the norm Then the sirens sing in code (erro-r-r, re-loa-d) This is protocol In the city of chrome [Bridge] [Vocals glitch Fragmented] I a-m / I a-m / I a-m The gu-ar-di-an The guil-ty The ju-dge Sub-ru-tine says: Protect Cor-rect E-rase (bu-bu-buffer overrun) Who wrote the rule? Who owns the fault? If I fail the test Do I a-r-rest my-self? [Chorus] This is protocol We don’t call it law anymore Just a fractured face In a mirrored core If the ghost in All this metal storms Then the sirens sing in code (erro-r-r, re-loa-d) This is protocol This is protocol In the city of chrome
