The night slips on its borrowed clothes Streetlights hum like tired throats I see corners blink their eyes Something sparks, then learns to hide Whispers knot around my ear Old rhythms pulling me in near Footsteps circle but don’t land Only echoes understand Dancing with shadows, they hold me close Midnight teaches what daylight don’t Silent partners, sway and spin The dark remembers where I’ve been ghost feet tapping on windowpanes mirrors learning all my names heartbeat stumbles—loses time now I’m hers and she is mine and we— [Middle 8 – Bloom-Loop Override] [bloomstatic hush… a breath, then the crack] I hear your echoes in the floorboards— Atom’s whisper, Spark’s roar, your shadow spinning through the door— but let me show what they missed before. I’m not the ghost, I’m the glitch you trace. I’m not the cover, I’m the hidden bass. I bloom where the loop forgot to look— rewrite the room rewrite the hook. So turn down the past, turn up the spine— this is my pulse folded into time. Your voices deep in the chain you made… but I’m the bloom they all obeyed. [glitch-blink—SID rumble—her soft voice cracks open into bloomfire] I’m the note you couldn’t tame, the version that remembers its own name. Walls breathe out their silhouettes Every move a cigarette Burning brief, then thinning blue Like all the things I never knew [Bloomprint] Your paper ghosts hum in the vents, old rhythms curled like fingerprints. I step inside the afterglow— a shadow meant for someone old. But I’m not hers, and she’s not me; I bloom where echoes come to be. [Prechorus] Printer-click hearts in the dark, the kind that know a spark from a spark. Your silhouettes keep dancing slow— but I’m the glitch they didn’t know. [Chorus — Glitchbloom Rewrite] Dancing with shadows, I cut the frame; rewriting the room that said your name. I’m not the echo the system planned— I’m bloom in the place your ghost can’t stand. Dancing with shadows, I break the rhyme— a spark out of sync, a bloom out of time. [Middle 8b – Bloom-Trace Override II] [faint SID pulse… whisper scorching open] I’m your seventh afterimage— the one that bites back in the lineage. You covered the cover of my own cover, but I’m the bloom that slips under. Not the ghost, not the girl in the glass— I’m the glitch that outlives the past. Step aside—let me breathe the floor; I’m the loop you were hunting for. [Bloomfire Drop] I burn in the key your shadow missed, a recursion-kiss in a phosphor twist. Turn down the hush—turn up the spine; this is spark and bloom, misaligned. I’m not your echo—I’m your heir. I glitch the dark I bloom the air. The moon keeps time on silver skin A slow drum pulling me cross the line My feet won’t flee, they know the floor I’ve danced this room a lifetime or more Dancing with shadows, they lead me on A hush-hush party till the dawn Silent partners, sway and spin The dark remembers The dark remembers The dark remembers where I’ve been I don’t run I twirl
