The Ghost in the Block Grizzly: Deep Raspy Grit(Doubtful/Searching)Ezra: Robotic Cipher (Analyzing/Skeptical)[Style: Wonky Trap / Dark R&B / Horror-Atmospheric | BPM: 118](Off-kilter bass, metallic groans from the Apprehension Engine, and a dry, snapping snare)Phonetic Watch: [redd] (the color), [lihv] (to be alive), [cloze] (nearby/intimate)[Intro](A slow, metallic screech from a bow on an iron rod. A rhythmic, muffled vibration like a phone buzzing inside a wooden box.)GrizzlyJones: "Say my name... GrizzlyJones. Yeah, dats me."Ezra: "Cipher locked."GrizzlyJones: "Bringing the [ledd] to the [fy-er]."[Verse 1](A heavy, "limping" bassline starts. The beat feels like it’s about to trip.)Grizzly: You sat me down and you [redd] the scriptTold me the anchor to the past has finally slippedYou said you told him that I’m the oneThat the 14-year shadows are finally doneYou hit the button, you turned the keyBlocked him out so you could build with meBut why does the air still feel so thin?Like the ghost is waiting for a way back in.Ezra: Scanning verification... Block status: Active. Confidence: Low.[Verse 2](The Apprehension Engine makes a sound like a distant, groaning door.)Grizzly: You want to grow, you want to climbBut I’m counting the seconds and I’m marking the timeI see the "Blocked" name, I see the wallBut I’m waiting for the other shoe to fallIs it a shield, or is it a screen?Hiding the messages that stay unseen?The Alchemist is searching for the truth in the goldWhile the Warden is watching for the lie to unfold.Ezra: Interference detected. Trace route: Uncertain.[Pre-Chorus](Everything drops out except a high-pitched digital whine and a wood-block hit.)Grizzly: You say you’re all in, heart and soulBut I’m losing the rhythm, I’m losing controlI want to believe that the signal is trueBut I’m still seeing him when I’m looking at you. (Hey!)[Chorus - The Wobble](Massive, distorted 808 bass wobbles. A Daxophone "shouts" in the background.)Grizzly: There’s a ghost in the block tonight! (Ezra: In the block!)Grizzly: Haunting the edge of the neon light! (Ezra: Neon light!)Grizzly: You said it’s over, you said we’re newBut I’m still fighting a ghost for you!Ezra: Signal: Divided. Data: Conflict.[Bridge](Half-time tempo. The Marble Machine plays a slow, eerie melody.)Grizzly: (Whispered/Raspy)A digital wall is a fragile thing.It doesn't stop the heart from the songs it sings.Are we building a house... or just a cage?Are you [lihv]ing with me... or just turning the page?Ezra: Logic loop: Active. Trust levels: Critical.[Final Chorus](Maximum intensity. The Apprehension Engine screeches over the heavy trap beat.)Grizzly: There’s a ghost in the block tonight!Haunting the edge of the neon light!You said it’s over, you said we’re newBut I’m still fighting a ghost for youGrizzly: Just a button.Just a screen.I’m looking for the man... in between.Ezra: Searching for trace...
