9000 And Falling (Signal Lost)

idiocracy

was a satire

not a documentary

now we're screwed

shit hits the fan

while sirens wailing

that's the tailspin

world's going in

yeah be scared

and keep on

wait for the light

brighter than the sun

Verse 3

gridlock on the circuit

smoke in the sky

watch the static build up

overhead wires fry

Pre-Chorus

shadows flicker

power surges in veins

ticking clocks shudder

toward blackout and shame

Chorus

systems crashing

data floods the streets

faces flicker in screens

nobody speaks

Post-Chorus

glitch repeat

glitch repeat

every word we say

glitch repeat

glitch repeat

all will decay

Verse 4

shutter the windows

digital rain falls in sheets

step through ruins and silence

magnetized defeat

Bridge

no one left to program

a new dawn’s spark

codes scatter like insects

disappearing in the dark

Chorus

systems crashing

data floods the streets

faces flicker in screens

nobody speaks

Post-Chorus

glitch repeat

glitch repeat

every word we say

glitch repeat

glitch repeat

all will decay

Outro

sparks crawl across metal

broken vox repeat the call

a shadow in the circuit

signals dying, one and all

Extended Outro

servo motors falter

dead wires hiss and spark

limbs twitch automatic

searching through the dark

datastream leaking

over scorched silicon

a last broken signal

trying to carry on

iron lungs failing (failing)

heartbeat skipping time

rust in the algorithm

memory in decline

fragmented language

distorted confession

sentience dissolves

erased progression

bitrate collapsing

on oxidized teeth

sync loses function

no framework beneath

threadbare intention

cycles run dry

scavenged voltage

still asking why

Post-Outro

glitch repeat

glitch repeat

final command

(glitch repeat)

all will decay

glitch repeat

glitch repeat

glitch repeat

Final Coda

emptied processors stutter

drones hum to rest

binary prayers unanswered

we outpaced the test

broken relays whisper

with nothing left to save

symmetry collapsing

in code’s shallow grave

signal ghosts wander

through relics of must

fragments of intention

now buried in rust

desolate mechanics

grinding memories down

pixels shed like old skin

across a barren town

infrared shadows trailing

low, decommissioned sound

maps with no direction

systems shutting down

no reset, no reboot

or code to recall

the silence expanding

consumes one and all

outro mantra

null repeat

null repeat

final state reached

(null repeat)

routine complete

null repeat

null repeat
