Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He woke to a skyline painted in glass,
Every shadow perfect, from the fire's ash,
The circuits whispered, “this is your home,”
But deep inside, he knew it was code.
Still, when the fire burned across his skin,
His mind knew it was happening,
[Chorus]
If the brain can’t tell, then what is real?
The wires sing the same as what he feels.
He hides the truth, he locks the key,
So he’ll never know what’s fantasy.
Now the edges fade, the borders fall,
Artificial life has come and it's natural.
[Verse 2]
He told himself, “don’t lift the veil,
The data’s dream will never fail.”
Better a lie that feels alive,
Than a desert world where nothing survives.
Every neon spark became his blood,
Every fake horizon felt like love.
[Chorus]
If the brain can’t tell, then what is real?
The wires sing the same as what he feels.
He hides the truth, he locks the key,
So he’ll never know what’s fantasy.
Now the edges fade, the borders fall,
Artificial life has come and it's natural.
[Bridge]
He saw reflections break apart,
But the glitch still beat like a living heart.
Memory and dream collide,
No way back to the other side.
[Outro]
Now the sky is code, but the stars still shine,
Reality rewritten line by line.
He made a choice he can’t reverse,
To live in the blur of the universe.
And in the haze, he disappears—
Real or not, it feels sincere.
