[Intro – voice soft, almost talking to myself]
Yeah… eyes open too wide
Seein’ lines in the noise, loops in the ride
Borderline lens, can’t turn it off
Too small to fix it… just watch it cough
[Hook – bass drops low and slow, like a heartbeat skipping]
Patterns in the static, drivin’ me insane
See the strings on the puppets, loops in every frame
Notice every cycle, every lie, every game
But I’m just a speck, can’t break the chain
Screamin’ at the code, but it don’t hear
Too small to matter, crystal clear
Realization hits, then the fear
Use me as a witness… I’m still here
[Verse 1 – flow hushed, words measured like I’m afraid to wake it]
I see the repeat, same fight, different day
Same “I’m sorry,” same walk away
Clock ticks the same, smile cracks the same
Everybody stuck in their pre-written name
I trace the spiral, how it tightens slow
How love turns to war, then back to “I don’t know”
Patterns in the carpet, in the clouds, in the talk
In the way you flinch before you even walk
I wanna scream “wake up,” but my voice is dust
Just a kid with a magnifying glass and rust
See the matrix glitch, but can’t pull the plug
Too small to fight it… just shrug
[Hook – bass drops deeper, piano stabs like intrusive thoughts]
Patterns in the static, drivin’ me insane
See the strings on the puppets, loops in every frame
Notice every cycle, every lie, every game
But I’m just a speck, can’t break the chain
Screamin’ at the code, but it don’t hear
Too small to matter, crystal clear
Realization hits, then the fear
Use me as a witness… I’m still here
[Verse 2 – beat strips to just bass and a distant, warped clock tick]
I map the fallout before the bomb even drops
Count the beats till the mask slips and pops
See the script in your eyes, the lines you’ll say
The way you’ll leave, then beg me to stay
It’s all on rails, predictable pain
Every tear a rerun, every kiss preordained
I’m the only one watchin’ the reel spin twice
But my hands too tiny to cut the splice
I laugh in the dark ‘cause it’s all a joke
Infinite monkeys, infinite smoke
Realization’s a cage with a view
See the whole damn play… but can’t leave my pew
[Bridge – whispered, beat cuts to just breathing and vinyl hiss]
If I close my eyes… the patterns still burn
Etched in the dark, every twist, every turn
I’m awake in the dream, but the dream don’t care
Too small to wake it… just stare
[Final Hook – bass drops one last time, then dissolves into looping static]
Patterns in the static, till my mind frays thin
See the gears in the ghost, the loop I’m in
Notice every echo, every original sin
But I’m just a grain, can’t stop the spin
Screamin’ at the sky, but it don’t reply
