A.N. OTHER

Unknown file detected… Origin: null Author: unresolved …playing anyway I am not a name, I am a placeholder Written in dust on a burning folder Every label they tried to assign Slips through the cracks of a broken spine I speak in fragments, I speak in noise Built from silence, stripped of voice If you hear me clearly, that’s a fault That’s the system losing control They tried to pin me down to one form But I keep changing inside the storm Every version they compile Leaks out sideways after a while I am A.N. OTHER I am no one, I am another Signal drifting off the grid Something that the system hid I am A.N. OTHER Not a ghost, not a brother Just the space between the lines Where identity declines I live in logs they never read In half-sentences left for dead In corrupted backups of a thought In everything that should be not You look for meaning in my trace But I erase it as you chase Every answer splits in two And neither one belongs to you Don’t try to name me Don’t try to hold I was never meant To be controlled I am A.N. OTHER I am no one, I am another Signal drifting off the grid Something that the system hid I am A.N.
