[Intro]
[A soft, warm, and melancholic piano chord progression begins to loop gently]
[The comforting crackle of old vinyl static fills the background space]
[A long, deep human exhale of relief breathes into the microphone]
[Verse 1]
[The music remains minimal, soft, and completely drumless. Vocal is dry, close, and soulful.]
The storm is over.
The screen goes black.
I closed the system,
And I'm never looking back.
The noise has faded,
The balance is clear.
There’s no more fighting,
And there’s no more fear.
[Chorus]
[A faint, spacey ambient synth pad layers under the piano, adding a beautiful warmth.]
We made it fifty-fifty.
Yeah, we split the cost.
I found my power,
In the things I lost.
I am my own savior,
I am my own friend.
The scripts are wiped clean...
This is the end.
[Verse 2]
[The piano chords grow softer, spaced further apart. Tiny, delicate chiptune glitches sparkle faintly.]
I don’t hate you,
But I had to choose me.
Unclogged the network,
So that I could be free.
Take care of yourself now,
Stand on your own.
Because the machine is dark...
And I’m leaving the throne.
[Chorus]
[The piano melody begins to filter out, losing its high frequencies and sounding distant.]
We made it fifty-fifty.
Yeah, we split the cost.
I found my power,
In the things I lost.
I am my own savior,
I am my own friend.
The scripts are wiped clean...
This is the end.
[Outro]
[The piano stops entirely. Only the soft vinyl static crackle remains.]
[Vocal leans directly into the microphone capsule, whispering softly]
Fifty... fifty.
I told you...
I ain't your mama.
[A quiet, gentle click of a microphone being switched off]
[An old computer system power-down sound effect sweeps downward in pitch]
[The vinyl static cuts out instantly, dropping into 3 seconds of absolute, pure digital silence]
