[Intro] [atmospheric pads, filtered synth plucks] [vocal chops] [Verse 1] We built a quiet sanctuary in the wire, A sprawling open canvas for a low-lit room. We found each other through a singing dial-up choir, And planted little digital frontiers to bloom. [Pre-Chorus] [snare rolls, rising synth pitch] (Ooh-ooh) [heavy supersaw synths, sidechained kick drum] [vocal chops] [Verse 2] [drums drop out, piano chords] The architects began to slowly shift the code, They weighed our every heartbeat on a golden scale. The intersections turned into a screaming road, Where only the aggressive and the loud prevail. [Chorus] [distorted bass growls, rising tension] But then they sold our memories for targeted gold, And watched the fragile empathy begin to fold. We feed the black machine with every waking breath, A hyper-connected, slow, and simulated death. [Breakdown] [full melodic dubstep drop, aggressive bass stabs] [vocal chops] [Bridge] [half-time feel, atmospheric pads] Now every flashing screen demands an angry take, A bitter competition for a plastic crown. We drown in all the outrage that the servers make, And tear the unfamiliar and the different down. [Chorus] [distorted bass growls, rising tension] But then they sold our memories for targeted gold, And watched the fragile empathy begin to fold. We feed the black machine with every waking breath, A hyper-connected, slow, and simulated death. [Outro] [supersaw chords, driving drums] We left the quiet magic of the web behind We left the quiet magic of the web behind A simulated death Just fading in the wire [reverb tail fades]
