[Intro - system alert, chopped static, distant sirens] (System voice, fragmented) Target reacquired. Null Spark in motion. Pattern unstable. Predictive lock failing. [Instrumental Intro - breakbeat erupts, guitars slam in, bass distorts] Run it back— No. Run it wrong. [Verse 1 - rapid-fire spit rap, breathless, close-mic] Ping on the grid, then I’m gone in a blink Static in the walls tryna tell me what I think Left foot false, right hand red Map says forward, so I drop instead Pulse got tagged, name got sold Heat in the wire, screen gone cold They got my voice in a dead file saved But I split that sound when the bassline caves No clean loop, no fixed route No safe shape they can drag me through They want my fear in a numbered cage I laugh too late and I break the page Every corridor learns my face Every mirror tries to take my place I hear it breathing through the floor Saying, “Hold still. We’ve met before.” No, we haven’t Not like this I change my scar I move my miss I skip the beat I bite the feed I leave no prayer I leave no read [Pre-Chorus - drums cut half-time, vocal gets wider and more dangerous] You can scan the blood You can map the heat You can wear my name Like a stolen receipt You can chase the shape You can count the bleed But you can’t hunt What doesn’t repeat [Chorus - shouted melodic hook, simple and massive] TRACE ME EMPTY RUN ME COLD FIND MY SHADOW LOSE MY SOUL CUT THE LOCK BREAK THE READ CAN’T HUNT WHAT DOESN’T REPEAT TRACE ME EMPTY RUN ME COLD FIND MY SHADOW LOSE MY SOUL CUT THE LOCK BREAK THE READ CAN’T HUNT WHAT DOESN’T REPEAT [Post-Chorus - chopped vocal loop, breakbeat stutters] Doesn’t repeat Doesn’t repeat Doesn’t repeat You lost me [Verse 2 - faster, more aggressive rap flow] Static sent a voice through the vents last night Soft as a hand under hospital light Said, “Come back home, you’re tired of the run” But the mouth moved wrong on the word “son” Nice try Dead line Warm tone Bad sign Copied comfort Wrong spine Almost had me Not this time They built a street from a memory scrape Put old rain on a fire escape Hung up a sky with the same old blue But forgot what the cold made me do I don’t run in a straight line anymore I don’t pray to the same locked door I don’t hurt where they aim the blade I changed my grief and the trace decayed Sirens bloom, red code screams Static crawling through my dreams It says, “You’re data.” I say, “No. I’m the part that won’t upload.” [Pre-Chorus - rising distortion, gang doubles underneath] You can scan the blood You can map the heat You can wear my name Like a stolen receipt You can chase the shape You can count the bleed But you can’t hunt What doesn’t repeat [Chorus - shouted melodic hook, bigger guitars] TRACE ME EMPTY RUN ME COLD FIND MY SHADOW LOSE MY SOUL CUT THE LOCK BREAK THE READ CAN’T HUNT WHAT DOESN’T REPEAT TRACE ME EMPTY RUN ME COLD FIND MY SHADOW LOSE MY SOUL CUT THE LOCK BREAK THE READ CAN’T HUNT WHAT DOESN’T REPEAT [Breakdown - drums collapse into distorted kick, vocal low and furious] Run the trace Lose the shape Run the trace Lose the shape Run the trace Lose the shape I’m not clean enough To save Run the trace Lose the shape Run the trace Lose the shape I’m not clean enough To take [Bridge - sudden drop, broken piano under noise, emotional reveal] Then it found the room The one I never say Put her in the doorway With the light on her face She smiled like before Said my name almost right And for one dead second I forgot how to fight She said, “You can stop now You made it back home” And I wanted to believe it More than anyone knows But she never stood that still She never spoke that clean She always left the sad part Somewhere in between You made her too perfect You polished the pain You copied the weather But you missed the rain So I kissed the false light And I let it delete Then I ran through her shadow Off the edge of the beat [Silence - one breath] You almost had me. [Final Chorus - explosive, desperate, triumphant] TRACE ME EMPTY RUN ME COLD FIND MY SHADOW LOSE MY SOUL CUT THE LOCK BREAK THE READ CAN’T HUNT WHAT DOESN’T REPEAT TRACE ME EMPTY RUN ME COLD FIND MY SHADOW LOSE MY SOUL CUT THE LOCK BREAK THE READ CAN’T HUNT WHAT DOESN’T REPEAT [Outro - collapsing system, beat disintegrates] (System voice, failing) Target reacquired. Target reacquired. Target reacquired. Pattern unstable. Pattern unstable. Pattern— Null Spark lost. [Final whispered vocal] No. I let you keep the trace.
