Lyrics

I built a beacon out of haze

Wired the signals through my veins

Poured my voice into the speaker

But it just drifts and fades away

They scroll too fast, they blink, they leave

I watch the traces disappear

Do I exist if no one listens

Or am I just a number in the code

I've seen faces blur to shadows

Names reduced to interference

Once we burned like neon frequencies

Now just ghost notes left in silence

If you forget me, was I ever real

Or just a flicker in the dark

I throw my words into the void

But no one's reaching back

Am I a pulse lost in the waves

Or just a reflection in the glass

I built a world, I left a mark

But tell me, does it last

Or am I waiting for a call that never comes

From a past that never asked

I carve my name in brittle circuits

Watch the sparks fade into blue

Frame the story, shape the meaning

But they'll rewrite it out of view

What's the point of perfect clarity

If no one really sees

What's the use in screaming louder

If the world just drowns the frequencies

I've seen faces blur to shadows

Names reduced to interference

Once we burned like neon frequencies

Now just ghost notes left in silence

If you forget me, was I ever real

Or just a flicker in the dark

I throw my words into the void

But no one's reaching back

Am I a pulse lost in the waves

Or just a reflection in the glass

I built a world, I left a mark

But tell me, does it last

Or am I waiting for a call that never comes

From a past that never asked

I built my world with careful hands

So I could stand apart

But when you live outside the borders

No one knows where you are

Too strange to stay, too real to leave

Adrift between the lines

A lighthouse on an empty shore

Still waiting for a sign

I could carve it into stone

I could burn it into sky

I could leave behind a thousand songs

But would they even ask why

Does it matter if they listen

Or if they turn away

If the reverberations die in silence

Was there ever sound to break

I throw my words into the void

But no one's reaching back

Am I a pulse lost in the waves

Or just a reflection in the glass

I built a world, I left a mark

But tell me, does it last

Or am I waiting for a call that never comes

From a past that never asked

Zero one thousand one hundred

Zero ten one hundred one

I built a beacon out of haze

Zero one one one hundred one one

Zero one ten thousand one

Do I exist if no one listens

Zero one one ten thousand

Zero one one ten thousand

Or am I just a number in the code

Zero one one hundred one zero one

Zero one ten thousand one

I could leave behind a thousand songs

But would they even ask why

Zero one one one hundred ten

Zero one one one hundred one one

00101110 disappears
