[Intro]
[Clean delay | 4/4 | let ring]
Lights flicker in code
Breath caught in a loop
I don’t reboot
[Verse 1]
[Low-tuned chugs | 4/4 | 0-0-1--0-0-1-- | syncopated]
Red glare on the monitor
Hands shake like a seized-up drive
Error codes crawl down the wall
I can’t tell which thought is mine
Jaw clenched on a coffee cup
Clock ticks in a crooked way
Heartbeat skips in triplets
Breath lands somewhere out of phase (hey!)
[Pre-Chorus]
[Build | open chords + kicks | 4/4 → 7/8 feel]
System overload
Pressure in my bones
Every line corrupt
Every signal blown
[Chorus]
[Full band | 4/4 | punch accents: 0---1-0---1- | wide chords]
Neural breakdown
Static in my veins
I’m stalling out
Cracks in the glass of my calm right now
I’m folding
Folding
Neural breakdown
Firing out of sync
I’m crashing down
Signal screaming loud
Then fading out
I’m loading
Loading... then I drown
[Verse 2]
[Polyrhythm feel | 4/4 over 3 | 0-0-0---1-0-- | ghost notes]
Sleep feels like a lost file
Buried in a maze of drafts
Every plan half-finished
Every nerve a taut steel cable wrapped
Hands hover above the keys
Frozen by the what-ifs—wait
Whole world runs in double time
I’m stuck counting past eight
[Pre-Chorus]
[Kick/snare focus | half-time | rising tension]
Feedback in my skull
Voices overlap
Trying to hold shape
But the grid collapses back
[Chorus]
[Full band | 4/4 | same motif, thicker layers]
Neural breakdown
Static in my veins
I’m stalling out
Cracks in the glass of my calm right now
I’m folding
Folding
Neural breakdown
Firing out of sync
I’m crashing down
Signal screaming loud
Then fading out
I’m loading
Loading... then I drown
[Breakdown]
[Heavy djent | 7/8 | 0-1-0---0-1--- | stop/start hits]
(0—1—0—1—)
Cut the feed
Cut the noise
Cut the part that keeps me void
Sync the pulse
Break the chain
Let the silence split the pain
[Bridge]
[Ambient clean → swell distortion | free time → 4/4]
Cut me to silence
Just a click
Just a blackout
Just blank
Then flood me with color
All the noise
All the noise rushing back
I’m a tangle of threads
Pull one and the rest come loose
If I tear
If I tear
Will there finally be room? (woah)
[Final Chorus]
[Biggest hit | 4/4 | layered guitars + octave leads]
Neural breakdown
Static in my veins
I’m burning out
No glass left to contain me now
I’m falling
Falling
Neural breakdown
Everything’s out of sync
I’m crashing down
Signal screaming loud
Then cutting out
I was loading
Loading—now I drown
[Outro]
[Clean fade | delay trails | low feedback hum]
Screen goes black
No restart
Just a ghost
In the circuit of my heart
…signal lost
