Black waves

"Fading… fading… lost in static…"

Neon lights flicker, cold and pale [pause]

Your shadow lingers, sharp and frail [slight delay on "frail"]

Smoke curls up, dissolves in time [elongate "time"]

Echoed voices, lost in grime [whispered "grim" with a trailing effect]

I hear you calling through the static haze [hold "haze" and let it fade]

Fading whispers in electric waves [sharp echo on "waves"]

Your touch is distant, like a dream erased [pause after "erased"]

I'm sinking deeper, lost in space [whisper "space" with heavy delay effect]

Footsteps echo down empty streets [whisper "streets" underneath]

Glass reflections, shattered beats [elongate "beats" with a slight distortion effect]

We were ghosts before we met [breathy emphasis on "ghosts"]

Now we're trapped in silk regret [whisper "regret" with a fading delay]

Veins of wire, choking tight [deep, breathy whisper on "tight"]

Dead air hums in endless night [elongate "night" with distortion]

Your name rots on a broken screen [low, monotone delivery on "screen"]

Erased in circuits, never seen (whisper "never seen" until it dissolves into silence)

"Lost… lost… lost…"
