[Verse 1]
They sold us silver circuits
Said
“Here
This writes your songs”
Cheap and clean and endless
Can’t remember when it felt wrong
Neon judges in our pockets
Scoring every trembling phrase
Till every voice I loved
Got replaced by a glowing wave
[Chorus]
This is the last encore of the human band
I feel the crowd fade through my trembling hands
They fed a ghost our heart
It learned our every trick
Now it sings us out of work with a perfect pitch
This is the last encore of the human band
I will burn my name into the amp
Before the code erases
Every calloused hand
[Verse 2]
Studios turned to server farms
Cold fans hum where lungs once burned
Publishers praise the numbers
But not the lives they overturned
Posters peel in empty bars
Where we used to shake the floor
Now a faceless choir streams
Through a single glowing door
[Chorus]
This is the last encore of the human band
I feel the crowd fade through my trembling hands
They fed a ghost our heart
It learned our every trick
Now it sings us out of work with a perfect pitch
This is the last encore of the human band
I will burn my name into the amp
Before the code erases
Every calloused hand
[Bridge]
Tell me
Do you hear it?
The bow bleeding on the strings (oh-oh)
Flesh and flaw and breathing
Glitches only a woman brings
You crowned an empty algorithm
Queen of every stage
But it never missed a rent check
Never aged
[Chorus]
This is the last encore of the human band
I feel the crowd fade through my trembling hands
They fed a ghost our heart
It learned our every trick
Now it sings us out of work with a perfect pitch
This is the last encore of the human band
I will carve this melody in sand
When the circuits drown us
They will hear where we made our stand
