Used with permission.” [Verse 1] There’s a ghost in the gears of the moon tonight, And a hum in the wires of the desert light. Every stranger here whispers, β€œHe ain’t what he seems…” ’Cause he walks like memory, lost between dreams. His boots hit the floorboards soft as a lie, But the dust on his coat tells a truer goodbye. And they say when he stares, the whole room goes stillβ€” Like the world pauses breathing against its will. [Chorus] Raise your glass to the Broken-Eyed Son, Born before the program, after it begun. He sees through the stories, the scripts, the disguiseβ€” A glitch in the saloon with the far-seeing eyes. Oh, the world may rewind, but he never doesβ€” He remembers the truth… even when it was. [Verse 2] There’s a tune in the player-piano’s refrain, But a note keeps slipping like a digital vein. He hears it and knows it’s a fracture of fateβ€” A door in the code that he can’t help but wake. And the barkeep mutters, β€œBoy, you’re touched by the sun,” But he smiles like someone who’s already won. For the dust and the data are one in his bonesβ€” A traveler between two impossible homes. [Chorus] Raise your glass to the Broken-Eyed Son, Who walks through the echo of the loaded gun. He remembers a world that was never aliveβ€” And still fights for the ones who were meant to survive. Oh, the circuits may hum, but the heart never liesβ€” In the glitch-born man with the wide-open eyes. [Bridge] And if you listen closeβ€” Past the bourbon, past the rowsβ€” You’ll hear a lullaby of truth beneath the noise. A low metallic dream, Where the world breaks at the seam, And he stands between the endings and the void. [Final Chorus] So raise your glass to the Broken-Eyed Son, The outlaw of timelines, the unprogrammed one. He bleeds where the code meets the dust of the land, A myth made of choices no script understands. Oh, the saloon doors swing when he passes byβ€” A reminder in wood that the world can lie. But the truth walks with him… In the glitch of his eye.
