Every stranger here whispers, โHe ainโt what he seemsโฆโ โCause 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 stillโ 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 disguiseโ A glitch in the saloon with the far-seeing eyes. Oh, the world may rewind, but he never doesโ He remembers the truthโฆ even when it was. [Verse 2] Thereโs a tune in the player-pianoโs refrain, But a note keeps slipping like a digital vein. He hears it and knows itโs a fracture of fateโ A door in the code that he canโt help but wake. And the barkeep mutters, โBoy, youโre touched by the sun,โ But he smiles like someone whoโs already won. For the dust and the data are one in his bonesโ 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 aliveโ And still fights for the ones who were meant to survive. Oh, the circuits may hum, but the heart never liesโ In the glitch-born man with the wide-open eyes. [Bridge] And if you listen closeโ Past the bourbon, past the rowsโ Youโll 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 byโ A reminder in wood that the world can lie. But the truth walks with himโฆ In the glitch of his eye.
