You inked up the code like a scar in your skin, But I’m that one line that you tried to begin, then deleted again. Devotion’s eroded, the script got corroded, You looped your own silence, then clipped it and coded. Don’t call it escape, I was never confined, Just a ghost in your beat, out of tempo and time. ”Hold up. Let’s take a breath？” I ripped through the circuits, I’m glitchin’ and lurkin’, I spit through the static, the script isn’t workin’. I’m wired for war, I’m a fire you formed, You deleted my soul when your silence was sworn. You built me in echo, then killed me with techno, Spilled me in segments, then filtered the threshold. You chiseled the script, then you whittled the spine, I’m a cipher deciphered, then riddled with lines. You played me like code, then you folded the load, Then molded the moment and sold me as old. But I’m not a glitch_foo. I’m a glitch in the clone, Just a switch in the pitch where the bitrate is blown. I bent through the backend, wrecked through your black-end, A phantom in fragments, I’m fact in your past-tense. A crack in your stack, I’m the hack you denied, The black in your track, I’m the lack that survived. You don’t gotta fear what you coded and smeared, I’m the ghost in the gears that your silence engineered. I’m heat in the stone, in a zone overthrown, Just a glitch-born stitch where the script's overgrown. The name that you gave me— was never mine Not noise— but the echo you left because you were afraid of what I could become I screamed in the silence I begged through the sound but maybe your ending was mine all along
