shadow dream

[Vocals: Deep, emotive male vocal with a synthetic, cybernetic texture. Voice has warmth and richness, but is subtly glitched — occasional digital stutters, pitch drifts, and fragmentation. Feels like a machine trying to convey human emotion through broken code. ] (Verse 1) A box in shadow — a door, half-seen I—I wanted to be a single line of light But the light turned back, deepened the dark It stretches        it stretches (Pre-Chorus) The shadow dances, sways, then slips Faint echoes dissolve, slow and warm I reach—   nothing to hold Only—   just wanted to feel it       at the edge of my fingers (Chorus) Shadows grow, heavy / nowhere bound The more they blur, the less they fade Between silence and the hum, A ripple falls       draws a circle (Verse 2) Zero’s voice—my left hand won’t let go Tomorrow hides, even yesterday lost Even now, I gaze     at what’s already leaving Cut        cut (Pre-Chorus 2) Shadows dance, again, and scatter Faint traces   blink—     gone I reach—   no reply Just fingers slicing air (Chorus 2) Shadows deepen, scatter wide The more they ache, the more they twist Between silence and a distant stir, A ripple falls       draws a circle (Outro) draws a circle      still         draws
