Signal Still Alive

Verse 1
Systems went quiet tonight
No alarms, no demand
Just the hum of the structure
And my hands in my hands
I don’t remember the last time
Nothing needed me fast
When the noise finally stopped
I felt something crack

Pre-Chorus
Under the armor
Under the code
There’s a version
No one knows

Chorus
Signal still alive
Under all the steel
Something small inside me
Still remembers how to feel
I don’t show it
I don’t speak it
I don’t let it drive
But somewhere under everything
The signal’s still alive

Verse 2
I walk like a weapon
I move like control
But sometimes in silence
I feel the old pulse
Not weakness
Not failure
Not something to hide
Just proof that the machine
Didn’t swallow the mind

Bridge
I won’t lose it
I won’t kill it
I just keep it locked inside

Final Chorus
Signal still alive
Buried deep and low
Not for them to touch
Not for them to know
I don’t need saving
I don’t need light
But I keep one piece of human
Powered inside
