Dead frequency

Verse 1

You slipped in sideways through the signal,

Left your fingerprints in sound,

Every thought began to stutter

When your voice was all around.

I watched myself from far behind me,

Like a body out of phase,

Every word I tried to hold onto

Drifted off and rearranged.

Pre-Chorus

Something glitched beneath your noise,

A pulse I couldn’t kill—

Chorus

You don’t live inside me now,

Just a trace I can’t decode,

All your patterns breaking down

In the static you controlled.

I don’t hear you in the sound—

Just an empty undertone.

Verse 2

You looped me into repetition,

Cut the edges off of truth,

Turned reflection into fragments

That kept slipping out of view.

I was speaking in your language,

But it never felt like mine,

Like a ghost inside a system

Running out of time.

Pre-Chorus

Now the circuit’s wearing thin,

And the silence cuts you out—

Chorus

You don’t live inside me now,

Just a trace I can’t decode,

All your patterns breaking down

In the static you controlled.

I don’t hear you in the sound—

Just an empty undertone.

Bridge (very minimal, almost spoken)

No shape, no name,

No signal to blame,

Just space where you stayed

Collapsing away.

I don’t follow the noise,

I don’t answer your voice,

There’s a break in the line—

And it’s finally mine.

Final Chorus (fragile → dissolving)

You don’t live inside me now,

You’re a glitch I let go,

Every trace of you is fading

Through a system I outgrew.

I don’t hear you in the sound—

Only silence I own,

Only silence I own.
