Everyone Leaves Eventually

[INTRO] (distorted radio hiss) You still believe in permanence? (glitch pulse) That’s cute. ⸻ [VERSE 1] We were neon silhouettes Flickering through cigarette breath Making vows in overloaded rooms Dancing underneath synthetic moons You traced your fingers through my scars Said broken things still shine like stars But stars collapse if you wait long enough Everything soft eventually turns rough Late night calls and dopamine haze Bodies burning through temporary days Every “forever” ever spoken aloud Gets swallowed whole by a different crowd ⸻ [PRE-CHORUS] You say: “Hold on.” But holding on is how the fracture starts. ⸻ [CHORUS] Everyone leaves eventually Static in the memory Hands let go / signal dies Every promise destabilizes Don’t reconnect Don’t reopen wounds Every love becomes a tomb Nothing breaks if nothing stays Everyone leaves eventually ⸻ [POST-CHORUS] (signal loss) (signal loss) NO ATTACHMENT NO COLLAPSE NO DEVOTION NO AFTERMATH ⸻ [VERSE 2] I watched your smile become routine Another ghost inside the machine Conversations looping endlessly Like automated sympathy “Are you okay?” “Yeah I’m fine.” Everyone lies in synchronized lines. Crowded trains and empty eyes Artificial warmth / manufactured lives People touching screens instead of souls Trying to fill algorithm-shaped holes And every person says: “I’ll never disappear.” Until they do. ⸻ [PRE-CHORUS] You let them close You disappear You trust enough They plant the fear (glitch stutter) fear-fear-fear-fear-fear ⸻ [CHORUS] Everyone leaves eventually Bodies close / emotionally distant Every kiss decays to history Every bond becomes resistant Don’t call back Don’t repeat Don’t collapse at someone’s feet Silence hurts less than belief Everyone leaves eventually ⸻ [BREAKDOWN] (overlapping corrupted voices) “You matter.” “I love you.” “I’m here.” “I promise.” (audio distortion increasing) promise promise promise promise (flatline tone) ⸻ [CASSIAN MONOLOGUE] People don’t abandon each other all at once. That’s the lie. It happens slowly. A delayed response. A missed message. A little less effort every day. Until one morning you realize: you are performing intimacy for someone who already left emotionally months ago. (static surge) So I stopped needing people. And suddenly… I could breathe again. ⸻ [GLITCHCORE DROP] (overloaded industrial percussion) CUT THE SIGNAL CUT THE WIRE CUT THE PART THAT STILL DESIRES NO MORE HOPE NO MORE NEED NO MORE HEART LEFT THERE TO BLEED EVERYONE EVERYONE EVERYONE LEAVES ⸻ [FINAL CHORUS] Everyone leaves eventually Nothing stays / especially me Every touch becomes debris Every heart destabilizes Don’t reconnect Don’t reopen scars Love collapses just like stars Nothing breaks if nothing stays Everyone leaves eventually ⸻ [OUTRO] (low static) If nobody gets close enough to matter… …then nobody gets close enough to destroy you. (signal degradation) …right? (long silence) …right? (transmission terminated)
