[Intro]
(Industrial bass house pulse, heavy clock synth ticking)
Four in the morning, the line is drawn in the dark
Two different worlds, tearing at the vital spark
(Glitch stutter)
Open your eyes see me now, don’t blink
Open your eyes see me now, don’t blink
[Verse 1]
(Halftime trap beat kicks in, deep 808 pressure)
I stood on the baseline, watching gears grind thin
Trying to find the structure where the loop begins
But there’s a fog in your circuit, a cloud on the screen
A beautiful memory inside a fractured machine
I became every ghost that ever left you a scar
Paying a heavy debt for a past that was yours
You look through a window that is cracked and cold
Answering for stories that were never told
Every emotion I have gets overcast by your screen
Trapped in the middle of a dynamic so mean
I’m a technician, I look at the blueprint and trace
But I can't find a path when you rewrite the space
[Pre-Chorus]
(Rising synth sweeps, electronic tension building)
You say I’m quick to walk, that it’s easy to leave
But you didn't see the tears falling onto my sleeve
The signal is snapping, the static is loud
Watch the frame bend as I step out of the crowd
[Chorus]
(Heavy Bass House drop, crushing wobble bass slams)
It’s a system split! Claiming my worth tonight!
Cutting through the static, walking into the light!
Make it harder now! Yeah, make it harder now!
You threw the wrench in, watch it burn down!
We were just getting started now! Just getting started now!
But you let the shadows turn the whole thing around!
No malice in my chest, no hate in my soul
But I gotta save the man to make the future whole!
[Verse 2]
(Beat drops back to sparse trap, heavy low-end sub)
By afternoon the frequency drops down low
The anger turns to panic as reality starts to show
You text through the haze saying it’s a bad dream
The fog clears a second at the edge of the screen
You say your mind is blowing, gaps getting deep
My heart breaks for the pieces your spirit couldn’t keep
I offered a landing, a bridge to help you stand
But I can't build foundations on shifting sand
I walked onto a new floor, let tools take the weight
Installed the steel flanges, locked a brand-new fate
Twenty-four gearboxes built with my own hands
Reclaiming my power, changing my plans
[Pre-Chorus]
(Vocal stutters, rising riser synths)
Open your eyes see me now, don’t blink
We are standing right on the edge of the brink
I love you enough to drop the whole line
I love myself enough to reclaim my time
[Chorus]
(Heavy Bass House drop, maximum sub-bass pressure)
It’s a system split! Claiming my worth tonight!
Cutting through the static, walking into the light!
Make it harder now! Yeah, make it harder now!
You threw the wrench in, watch it burn down!
We were just getting started now! Just getting started now!
But you let the shadows turn the whole thing around!
No malice in my chest, no hate in my soul
But I gotta save the man to make the future whole!
