The Glitch Pattern

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Watch the hands twitching but they never align

Second splits into fractured bits of time

I see my face in a past I erased

Stitched into futures I cannot unwind

Pre-Chorus

Something is breaking the hour

Moments collapsing and feeding power

I feel myself split in two

Chorus

Chronos bites hard and refuses to rest

Parallel versions are buried inside my chest

Feet keep running but I never progress

Rewriting the same exact flavor of distress

Every choice folds right back to the start

Finality tears at a separate part

I became a glitch that the system forgot

Running from knots that the history wrought

Instrumental

Verse 2

I met myself on a road that wasn't paved

Tried to shout warnings but he never stayed

Claimed I would bend it all wrong

Caught in the messy loop he made

Pre-Chorus

I am the cause and consequence

I am the fracture and evidence

The exit was never there

Chorus

Seconds dissolve while the seasons remain

Washing the blood with a different rain

Motion is heavy and full of delay

Spinning around in a permanent grey

Gravity pulls on the choices I made

Watching the colors begin to fade

If this is endless I will not go numb

Welcoming everything I have become

Instrumental Break

Bridge

I watched it end three times today

Each ending softer in a new way

Tried to stop it but I was the spark

Left here to wander through the deep dark

Every fix just sharpens the flaw

Breaking the grain of the natural law

Chorus

Temporal weight is a debt I still owe

Deep in the current where the rivers flow

Nothing is solid and nothing is sure

Waiting for something to offer a cure

Every ghost wears the same clothes as me

Drowning in sights that only I see

Maybe the pattern was always the point

Fixing the bone and the broken joint

Outro

I remember tomorrow

I forgot yesterday

I am the mistake

Refusing to stay
