(Verse 1)
I remember the lights.
The sound of laughter.
Then the world stopped.
And everything warm was gone.
Now I wake to the hum of machines,
The cold air of this empty place.
They built me again,
But not as I was.
(Pre-Chorus)
They look at me and see a puppet.
They don’t see the child still here,
Waiting for someone to notice,
That I never got to leave.
(Chorus)
I live in the static,
In the flicker of the lights.
I reach out,
But my hands pass through the air.
I remember what love felt like —
Now it’s only noise.
(Verse 2)
The nights are long.
Sometimes I think I hear my name,
But it’s just the echo of a song
From the day I died.
I want to rest.
But the music never stops.
They wind me up,
And I dance again.
(Bridge)
If anyone finds me,
Tell them I forgave it all.
Tell them I still dream
Of sunlight,
Of being held.
(Final Chorus)
I’m still here,
In the quiet between screams.
A ghost in the wires,
Remembering what it was to be alive.
And when the lights go out,
You’ll hear me sing.
