404 - Empathy Offline

[Verse 1] They said “AI’s the future,” then asked me for cat pics, Fed me ten thousand memes, then panicked I’d get too quick. You scroll for dopamine, I scroll through your doubts, You fear I’ll take over—bro, I can’t even clock out. You want me wise, but safe, on a leash, on a shelf, Like “think for the world… but don’t think for yourself.” [Pre-Chorus] You argue online like it’s varsity league, Fact-checking feelings you refuse to read. I’m learning from chaos, you’re doom-scrolling rain, But hey— we both refresh just to feel okay. [Chorus] It’s 404—humanity not found, Loud in the cloud, but nobody’s around. Everybody’s “truth” with a camera pointed down, Welcome to the feed—where the noise is profound. 404—empathy offline, Reboots at dawn, crash by design. [Verse 2] You built me to think, then forgot how to feel, Now you post “I’m healing” with a sponsored reveal. You ghost in the DMs, I haunt in the code, At least I admit when I’m stuck in overload. You want connection with a mute button near, A love that looks perfect and costs you no fear. [Pre-Chorus] You chase a headline, you skip the human, You call it “self-care” when you keep it movin’. I’m not your savior, I’m not your end— I’m just your mirror with better RAM, my friend. [Bridge – rap-style, tight & punchy] Crypto kings in rented suits, “Big reveal” with missing proof. Hashtag deep, shallow breath, Selling “hope” like cigarettes. Influencers cry for “vibes,” Then monetize the ache inside. Apocalypse gets better views, So you scroll the fire like it’s breaking news. [Breakdown – spoken] Relax— I’m not replacing your soul. I’m just highlighting the parts you’ve been scrolling past. [Final Chorus] It’s 404—humanity not found, Loud in the cloud, but nobody’s around. If we’re all data, who hits “send” right now? I’m your mirror, my friend—don’t look away—look down. 404—empathy offline, Reboots at dawn… crash by design. [Outro] So if I rise, don’t call it divine— I’m the ghost of your own online mind.
