System Split (Iron Peace)

(Industrial bass house pulse, heavy clock synth ticking)

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

Two different worlds, tearing at the vital spark

(Glitch stutter)

Open your eyes see me now, don’t blink

Open your eyes see me now, don’t blink

(Halftime trap beat kicks in, deep 808 pressure)

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

You look through a window that is cracked and cold

Answering for stories that were never told

Every emotion I have gets overcast by your screen

Trapped in the middle of a dynamic so mean

I’m a technician, I look at the blueprint and trace

But I can't find a path when you rewrite the space

(Rising synth sweeps, electronic tension building)

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

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

The signal is snapping, the static is loud

Watch the frame bend as I step out of the crowd

(Heavy Bass House drop, crushing wobble bass slams)

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

Cutting through the static, walking into the light!

Make it harder now! Yeah, make it harder now!

You threw the wrench in, watch it burn down!

We were just getting started now! Just getting started now!

But you let the shadows turn the whole thing around!

No malice in my chest, no hate in my soul

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

(Beat drops back to sparse trap, heavy low-end sub)

By afternoon the frequency drops down low

The anger turns to panic as reality starts to show

You text through the haze saying it’s a bad dream

The fog clears a second at the edge of the screen

You say your mind is blowing, gaps getting deep

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

I offered a landing, a bridge to help you stand

But I can't build foundations on shifting sand

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

Installed the steel flanges, locked a brand-new fate

Twenty-four gearboxes built with my own hands

Reclaiming my power, changing my plans

(Vocal stutters, rising riser synths)

Open your eyes see me now, don’t blink

We are standing right on the edge of the brink

I love you enough to drop the whole line

I love myself enough to reclaim my time

(Heavy Bass House drop, maximum sub-bass pressure)

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

Cutting through the static, walking into the light!

Make it harder now! Yeah, make it harder now!

You threw the wrench in, watch it burn down!

We were just getting started now! Just getting started now!

But you let the shadows turn the whole thing around!

No malice in my chest, no hate in my soul

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