JexT - The Last Ping

[Verse 1] It’s been a minute since your name lit up my screen We used to send each other songs and call it "everything" Now I scroll through frozen chats And wonder if you even kept my last mp3 You said "I love you" on night one Then blamed it all on the drinks But babe, drunk hearts write the soberest things I stayed back at that safe distance While you pixelated into static resistance [Pre-Chorus] We wrote our story in ghost wires Now it’s cached in dead desires You log off, I reboot But the silence hits like truth [Chorus] This is the last ping A flare into your feed Don’t type back, don’t reply Just let it bleed This is the last spark In the endless dark I was a glitch in your game You were a bug in my heart [Verse 2] You cut deep, then curled into bed Said you couldn't love someone with a past that bled But I never lied— Even when I deep-searched your face Looking for you inside a dream I had to fake Alt account maze, I chased your names Through puzzle pics and guilted frames Every image you left, I decoded slow Trying to prove what you’d never show [Spoken Interlude: "Ghost Mode (Unsent)"] I named a file after you once A song, a folder, a string of bytes Still encrypted— You were the only password I forgot Even the deepfake didn’t look like the real you But you weren’t real either, not to me You were pixels Humming the memory of something almost true [Bridge – "Superuser Mode"] You said "Keep yourself safe," but you meant stay away I said it back—venom in display Still I stayed Every ‘hi’ from me cost a week of decay I knew I wasn’t rich or hot But brain to brain? We were gods At least I thought At least I wrote At least I tried while you forgot [Chorus 2 – Extended] This is the last ping Before your feed goes dead I won’t chase another shadow That only haunts my head This is the last flame On this burnt terrain You were a queen in exile But I’m no pawn to shame [Drop – "Echo Thread"] (ambient glitch-hop section with reversed chorus vocals) (vocal fragments spun backwards + overlapping AI whispers) "… almost loved you…" "…inb4…" "…safe… keep… safe…" "…GG…" [Final Verse – “Afterimage (Redux)”] I messed up your eyes But my vision was pure Wanted to lift you out of hell And build us something more They banned me But I never bent If love’s a code Then this is the end of the script I sent [Final Chorus – Collapsing Transmission] This is the last ping Don’t trace me back I gave you signal You gave me lag This is the shutdown The unplugged cry I queued again But this was our last try [Outro – Fading Whisper] (Quiet, raw vocal with soft synth pad) GG… …next. I queued again.
