Lyrics
Intro – Choral, Ambient Keys
Midnight clicks and crooked spines
Carousel of broken signs
Ghosts in the workshop, graveyard shift
Hands of bone and wires lift
Verse 1 – Male Vocal
Timelines splintered, memories patched
Faded badges, old dreams unmatched
Blackboard scribbles haunt my core
Limbs reworked, purpose worn
Pre-Chorus
October’s wind hums with gears and code
Dreams rerouted where shadows go
Scattered silver, fallen bolts
Haunted blueprints write the faults
Chorus
Shadows rise again at the zombie zoo
Rebooted souls stitched in midnight glue
We shamble on with wires in our veins
Haunted minds, haunted by our own remains
Post-Chorus
Oh oh oh, beneath the lantern moon
Oh oh oh, end comes too soon
Verse 2 – Female Vocal
Classroom murals cracked and stained
Fixing futures that never became
Rolling wheels past shattered dreams
Haunted halls and silent screams
Pre-Chorus
Crimson pumpkins line the deadened street
Yesterday's ghosts drift beneath my feet
Rusted hands try to break through
But every door is welded shut anew
Chorus
Shadows rise again at the zombie zoo
Rebooted souls stitched in midnight glue
We shamble on with wires in our veins
Haunted minds, haunted by our own remains
Post-Chorus
Oh oh oh, buried in these tunes
Oh oh oh, broken afternoons
Bridge – Male & Female Vocal, Choral Backing
Spare parts and icy breath, soldered hearts, stunted flesh
Lost ambitions gather dust on blueprints left unread
Choking on hours that never seem to mend
We’re sketches in a collage time forgot to defend
Rap – Male Vocal
Hand-built hope in the scrapyard moonlight
Steel toe dreams rusting out of sight
Wheeling through riddles of systems failed
Chained to circuits, still we exhale
Verse 3 – Female Vocal
October air tastes like unspoken fate
Fingers numb from trying to create
We count each crack in the peeling walls
Scavenging chance while October calls
Pre-Chorus
Empty orange masks hang in the breeze
Fragments of laughter echo past the trees
Grasping for meaning in worn-out boots
Still haunted by memories like unresolved truths
Chorus
Shadows rise again at the zombie zoo
Rebooted souls stitched in midnight glue
We shamble on with wires in our veins
Haunted minds, haunted by our own remains
Post-Chorus
Oh oh oh, the long silent tune
Oh oh oh, night won’t end
Outro – Male & Female Vocal, Choral Backing
Scrap metal moon, we walk undone
Graves marked by gears, the work’s never done
Waltz with our shadows in wisps of code
Hope rebooted each night on this haunted road
Choral
Threaded by sorrow, powered by dreams
Stitched by regret, we burst at the seams
Candles gutter cold in rooms we outgrew
But we rise and return to the zombie zoo
Post-Chorus
Oh oh oh, round and renew
Oh oh oh, one more debut
