The System Split

(Industrial pulse, synth ticks)

Four in the morning, the line is drawn in the dark

Two different worlds, tearing at the vital spark

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

(Rising electronic tension, vocal stutters)

You say I’m quick to walk, that it’s easy to leave

But you didn't see the tears falling onto my sleeve

I love you enough to step out of the cloud

(Heavy Bass House drop, wobble bass slams)

It’s a system split! Claiming my worth tonight!

Cutting through the static, walking into the light!

No malice in my chest, no hate in my soul

But I gotta save the man to make the future whole!

By afternoon the frequency drops down low

The anger turns to panic as reality starts to show

You say your mind is blowing, gaps getting deep

My heart breaks for the pieces your spirit couldn’t keep

I walked onto a new floor, let tools take the weight

Rebuilt my own blueprint, locked a brand-new fate

(Gothic Doom halftime breakdown, deep sub drop)

You can't out-love a mirror that reflects the past

Can't build a forever on a floor made of glass

I’m setting down the phone, locking out the strain

Passing the torch to tomorrow, work washing the pain

(German electronica fades, clean mechanical click)

Flip the toggle to dark. Let notifications cease.

Tomorrow is a sanctuary. An iron peace.

The boxes are sealed tight.

Good night, old world.
