(Verse 1)
I remember when the shadows just felt long
When "weird" was just a note inside a song
A little static on the radio dial
A mystery that stayed a little while
We called those days "strange" and shook our heads
While we tucked the normal back into our beds
But the horizon started bending out of shape
And now there’s no such thing as an escape.
(Chorus)
It used to be a flicker, now it’s a roar
I don’t recognize the hinges on the door
The speed of the spin is breaking the glass
Watching the ghosts of the future pass
It’s a signal bleed, a static climb
We’re living in the cracks of fractured time
Somewhere between the X-Files and the Twilight Zone
In a frequency we were never meant to own.
(Verse 2)
The "strange" became the baseline yesterday
But now the logic’s simply stripped away
Metamorphosis at the speed of light
The sun is cold and the moon is way too bright
One step past the Outer Limits sign
Where the impossible is waiting in the line
It’s not just odd, it’s incomprehensible
The laws of the world are no longer defensible.
(Bridge)
(Tempo increases, layering voices)
The truth isn’t out there, it’s underneath the skin
Where do the credits end and the plot begin?
A monochrome sky in a technicolor dream
Nothing is ever exactly what it seems
We’re accelerating past the point of "weird"
Into the vacuum that our fathers feared.
(Guitar/Synth Solo: Jagged, erratic, and atmospheric)
(Chorus)
It used to be a flicker, now it’s a roar
I don’t recognize the hinges on the door
The speed of the spin is breaking the glass
Watching the ghosts of the future pass
It’s a signal bleed, a static climb
We’re living in the cracks of fractured time
Somewhere between the X-Files and the Twilight Zone
In a frequency we were never meant to own.
(Outro)
Please stand by...
The transmission is blurring...
It’s not just strange anymore...
It’s something else entirely.
