Prompt / Lyrics
[INTRO] [Low drone. Distant static. A voice, flat, hollow, barely there:] "You think I'm still alive? That's cute. Watch." [A slow, heavy heartbeat. A machine powering down. Then—nothing. The track breathes in the silence.] --- [VERSE 1] I don't remember when it stopped The feeling, the fire, the want Just woke up one day and the color was grey And the thing in my chest was a haunt They look at me and see a pilot A mercenary with a gun But I'm just a shell that never fell A war that was already won By the rot, by the cold By the quiet in my head I stopped fighting to survive I'm just too dead to be dead --- [PRE-CHORUS] You hear a heartbeat I hear a clock Counting down to nothing Tick. Tock. --- [CHORUS] Already dead, just haven't stopped The rot set in, the pulse just dropped Already dead, still in the fight A corpse that forgot how to die right Already dead, don't ask me why The light went out, the well ran dry Already dead, been dead for years I'm just the last one who hasn't disappeared --- [VERSE 2] They scream when they fight I just breathe They beg when they lose I just leave There's no rage left to fuel me No hope left to lose Just the habit of moving The muscle memory of choose Fire, dodge, fire, fall I've done it all before The only thing that's different now Is I don't care anymore --- [PRE-CHORUS] You hear a heartbeat I hear a clock Counting down to nothing Tick. Tock. --- [CHORUS] Already dead, just haven't stopped The rot set in, the pulse just dropped Already dead, still in the fight A corpse that forgot how to die right Already dead, don't ask me why The light went out, the well ran dry Already dead, been dead for years I'm just the last one who hasn't disappeared --- [BRIDGE] [Track pulls back. Just a single, decaying synth note. Voice, almost a whisper.] You want to know what broke me? Nothing. That's the truth. There wasn't a moment, a loss, a war Just a slow rot from my youth I woke up one morning and the fire was out And I couldn't remember what brought it about So I stopped trying to find it Stopped trying to care And now I'm just here And now I'm just— --- [FINAL CHORUS] [Slow, oppressive. The track decays in real time. Glitches, stutters, falls apart.] Already dead... Just haven't stopped... The rot set in... The pulse just dropped... Already dead... Still in the fight... A corpse that forgot... How to die— [BOOM — cut. Silence.] --- [OUTRO] [Static. A flatline. Rotten Fly's voice, hollow, distant:] "You think I'm still alive?" [Pause.] "That's cute." [Silence.]
