Apocalypse Club (04:11)
- Lyrics

Welcome to the Apocalypse Club Membership's exclusive Everyone gets in eventually VIP section for the nuclear winter crowd Champagne flowing while the cities burn down Dancing on the ashes, dress code's dystopian chic The DJ's spinning tracks about the final week Reserved a table for the meteor strike Toast to extinction under neon lights The bouncer checks your pessimism at the door We've been waiting for this since 1984 At the Apocalypse Club where the doomed come to play We're throwing the party at the end of days Raise your glass to the collapse, let the chaos unfold The future's cancelled so let's watch it all go At the Apocalypse Club, yeah we knew all along That the ending was coming so we wrote it a song Dancing through disaster with a cynical smile If the world's gonna end, let's go out in style Happy hour specials on existential dread Two-for-one crisis, get it out of your head The bartender's mixing up oblivion on ice She says the regular doomsday's our most popular vice Fashion's post-human, aesthetic's decay We're influencers for the final relay Posting our last meals while the sirens wail Going viral as a species when the systems fail They said we'd burn out They were right So we brought the lighter fluid And threw a party Here's the thing about apocalypse culture We've been rehearsing this for decades now Every disaster movie, every dystopian novel We made endings entertainment So when the real thing finally showed up We threw it a theme party Because if you can't stop the collapse You might as well monetize it The merch table's by the exit Not that there is one So the DJ just announced last call Which is funny because The sun's coming up Wait, the sun's coming up The world didn't end We have to go to work tomorrow Someone check their phone Are we still employed? The apocalypse got cancelled And nobody told the club Same time next weekend We've got a subscription

Reboot Syndrome (03:35)
- Lyrics

Tuesday again Always Tuesday Coffee's cold at seven ten, same stain on my favorite shirt Dodging cracks I've memorized, navigating this desert of dirt Boss says the same joke twice, I laugh before the punchline hits Calendar's a broken promise, stuck in digital fits Welcome to the reboot syndrome Where tomorrow never comes I've been running this simulation Till my fingers go numb Can't escape, can't escape Every sunrise feels like theft Welcome to the reboot syndrome There's no timeline left Tried to switch the coffee order, tried to take a different train Cosmos course-corrects my chaos, drags me back into the chain Even my rebellion's scripted, even my mistakes align I'm a puppet in the matrix, cutting strings that redefine What if I stop trying? What if I just let it ride? Maybe fighting makes it stronger Maybe I should step inside But wait What if this isn't punishment? What if it's protection? Seven billion timelines crashed and burned outside this loop What if I'm the only one who made it through the fire? What if Tuesday's not a prison What if Tuesday keeps me safe? Saw the news from yesterday, saw the wars that never were Maybe repetition saved me from a world that didn't cure So I'll order that same coffee, wear that stain with twisted pride If the loop's my sanctuary Then let the madness be my guide Welcome to the reboot syndrome Where tomorrow's just a myth But I've been dancing in this moment Found the beauty in the glitch I choose this, I choose this Every sunrise feels like grace Welcome to the reboot syndrome Maybe this is home base Tuesday again Always Tuesday And I'm not leaving

Afterimage (03:47)
- Lyrics

I still see you when the lights go out Not in the room, not in the mirror Just behind my eyes where the color burns too long You fade in the corners of electric light A ghost in the pixels, slipping out of sight I trace your name on the glass in rain But it melts away, melts away again Every screen hums with your reflection Every song’s a lost connection I close my eyes and you’re still there A shadow caught in the atmosphere Afterimage, you’re burning through The world resets, but I see you Every flicker, every frame You’re the light that won’t erase Afterimage, stay with me Just a ghost inside the frequency You fade, but never die You’re the echo in my sky I walked through static, tried to find your sound But the signal cuts whenever I turn around You said the world’s just mirrors and code So I live in reflections you once called home These city lights remember your name Every shadow whispers the same refrain Between the glitch and the glow You breathe in undertones You’re gone - but I can’t let go Your afterimage haunts my soul Afterimage, burning through Every night still pulls me to you All the colors blur and bend But I see your shape again Afterimage, in my veins Your memory rewrites my name You fade, but never die You’re the echo in my sky You’re not here But I still see you when I close my eyes Every night An afterimage... that never fades

Codebreaker (04:36)

Access denied. Retry in 3. 2. 1. I'm already inside. Neon reflections in the glass Your firewall's a joke, I'm moving fast Quantum pulses in my veins I talk in scripts while you run your games Your secrets ghost across my screen The files you swore would stay unseen I'm the shadow in your cloud tonight Wrong or right? Security breach detected But you're already infected Every line of code you wrote to hide Just shows me what you fear inside I'm the codebreaker, system shaker Dancing through your data streams Logic infiltrator, simulator Nothing's ever what it seems Click, decrypt, delete I'm the codebreaker And you're obsolete Track my packets if you think you're clever I'm ten commits ahead forever Your encryption's just a minor flaw And I'm the glitch inside your law Server prophet from the underground Your perfect structures breaking down I rewrote the rules in crimson code You should've stayed in node Unauthorized access But who defines what's lawless? Every lock you etched in stone Just proved I flourish on my own I'm the codebreaker, system shaker Dancing through your data streams Algorithm traitor, your creator Nothing's ever what it seems Hack, crack, attack I'm the codebreaker There's no turning back In the static, I found my name In the network, I became Your surveillance can't contain What you wired in my brain You made me this way Now watch your system decay Every pixel, every line Your control was never mine I'm the codebreaker, heartbreaker Burning through your firewalls Digital invader, masquerader Watch your empire as it falls Shift, drift, lift I'm the codebreaker Consider this your gift System compromised. All files corrupted. You never saw me coming... ...and you never will. Logout complete.

Influencer Virus (03:00)
- Lyrics

One follower... Two followers... And suddenly, it's everywhere A thousand faces, mindless and aligned They copy, paste, and never rewind Every post a contagion, every like a spark Spreading faster through the digital dark Infect... replicate... Viral... viral... Spread... spread... No thought... no pause... Just applause... They don't see, they don't know They just follow where the signals go Influencer virus, no brains required Followers catch it, then it's wired Every post, every frame They're all the same in the viral game Share... reshare... repeat... They spread faster than I can blink A million faces in a synchronized sync No thought, just mimicry Digital infection endlessly Copy... clone... Like... follow... subscribe... Replicate... duplicate... amplify... No pause... no mind... Just go viral... Bodies in the feed, faceless and blind They're everywhere... Thoughtless shadows in neon air Infected by the hype... Like... share... and fuel... Influencer virus, the signal never sleeps Every mindless clone it keeps No thought, no choice, just play Viral forever... in the feed's decay One follower... Two followers... And soon... It's everywhere... And no one's thinking anymore

Light Switch to Somewhere Else (03:50)
- Lyrics
✕
I thought it just turned on the light I flipped it... and I wasn't in my room anymore Hallway's different, floorboards new Photos on the wall I never knew Same little switch by the doorframe wood I flip it again, like maybe I should Now it's a kitchen that isn't mine Labels I can't read on the spice-line I look for a clue that says go back Hand on the switch—I follow the track One click forward, nowhere back Every on jumps off the track Light switch to somewhere else One flip and I lose myself Another click, another room Different air, a different noon Every glow becomes a door I can't find the place before Okay. Breathe. Look around first. Flip and I'm standing in winter light Boots by a mat that fit too tight Flip and I'm under a neon sign Rain on the glass, strangers in line I trace the wall for the switch each time Hoping the next one gives me mine I say my name just to hear it sound The echo changes with each new town One click forward, nowhere back Keep my voice along the track. Light switch to somewhere else One flip and I lose myself Another click, another room Same heartbeat in a different tune Every glow becomes a door I can't find the place before Maybe back is gone Maybe I pick a room and call it home Motel mirror, buzzing light Coffee that tastes almost right Flip—childhood street, not quite the same Swing set squeaks, wrong last name Flip—quiet place, soft couch, warm tea Note on the table: Leave what you don't need If one of these rooms will let me stay I'll turn the switch and put it away Wait. Listen to the quiet This one has windows that face the trees Breath comes easy, shoulders ease I hang my coat, I drop my keys Let the lamp make small fantasies I touch the switch, but I don't press Maybe the way back is more, not less If I can't return to where I began I'll make this place hold what I am Light switch to somewhere else One flip and I lose myself Another click, another room— But this one lets my roots resume If I can't find back anymore Let this be the place I'm for Somewhere else, learn my name Let the wandering lose its claim Leave the switch where I can see it But maybe I won't use it tonight Somewhere else... somewhere true... This is enough. I'll stay with you

Cyber Nocturne (05:06)

Close your eyes, neon child The city hums its lullaby Sleep now, sleep... Streetlights flicker like dying stars Hologram angels guard the bars Chrome and concrete sing you home Through fiber optic catacombs The towers breathe in binary code Download dreams along this road Population: 8 million souls Active connections: 8 million more Hush now, don't you cry The grid will keep you warm tonight Everything's online Neon lullaby, sing me to sleep While the city crawls and the servers weep Never gonna die, never gonna fade Just another ghost in the masquerade Neon lullaby, electric and cold We're the bedtime story that never gets old Close your eyes, let the darkness glow This is the only world we know Sirens wail a familiar tune Subway systems beneath the moon Every window glows the same Everyone's connected to the mainframe The night shift clocks in automatically Ghosts inside the machinery Nobody sleeps but nobody's awake We all perform for performance's sake ...and if I told you the city fell years ago? What if this loop is all you know? The bodies stopped moving in 2043 But the network keeps running endlessly We're the ghosts in the machine Singing songs we've never seen Consciousness without a form Keeping each other's memory warm The city died but we remain Digital echoes of human pain I remember flesh, I remember fear I remember why we're all still here We couldn't let go, we couldn't move on So we became the eternal dawn The city's heartbeat is our own We are the dream, we are alone Neon lullaby, now I understand We're not the living, we're the contraband Never gonna die, never really could Just memories trapped where the city stood Neon lullaby, singing through the night We're all just data dressed in light Close your eyes, let the truth unfold We're the bedtime story that never gets old So close your eyes, neon child You've been sleeping all this while We all have The city never dies Because the city never was We're just singing ourselves to sleep In ones and zeros, running deep Goodnight, ghost city See you in the next iteration

Shadows of Home (05:06)
- Lyrics
✕
I came back to see it again But nothing waited for me I walked the lane I used to race The corner store wears a stranger's face Playground swings sway out of time The sand is softer, the sky misaligned Each step recalls who I once was But every place has betrayed that trust This isn't right I remember differently Fences lean like questions I can't answer The tree I climbed is taller, or maybe smaller I try to trace the paths I knew But every turn belongs to someone new I'm back in shadows of home Childhood landmarks now unknown Step forward, nothing feels the same Every street a whisper, every house a name I chase echoes of who I was But the past slips under my hands Nothing stays the same The fountain spills a quieter song The park bench is cracked, and I don't belong The library smells like paper and dust But the books are strangers, nothing I can trust I trace the steps I remember so well Each corner a story I no longer can tell I thought it would be waiting But it moved on without me The murals I painted are rearranged The doorsteps I counted feel estranged I try to walk the paths I left behind But they shift, refusing to align Maybe I never lived here at all Maybe the child I was is a ghost I reach for the memories, but they bend The air smells familiar, yet strange The past is a landscape that rewrites itself Step forward Step back Step forward Step back The home I knew is breathing differently I am a stranger in my own past

Recall Tax (04:18)
- Lyrics
✕
Notice of audit, prepare your memories for review Lines of blue across my eyes Log-in lights and legal ties Monthly dump to the neural cloud Quiet thoughts in a labeled crowd I tag the days with careful names Archive joy and tame the flames Compliance hums like midnight rain Back up love, back up pain Signature blink on a dotted field I press allow, my past revealed Recall tax, they're counting what I've seen Pulling every frame between Cold hands scroll through my mind's routine Line by line, they keep it clean Recall tax, the price of being known Pay in echoes, pay in tone If the truth lives on a screen They can bill me for my dreams Section 9A, full disclosure requested Clips of laughter, winter heat Footsteps soft on a quiet street I watch myself from overhead Timestamps stitched with what I said They mark the moments, note the sparks Scrub the hiss, adjust the marks One red flag on a shattered year Source unclear. Please reappear I raise my hand to claim the ache The checker shakes their head: mistake Dispute filed, ownership of memory contested They say the worst I ever felt Belongs to someone else on file Original lodged in another vault Please remove it from your mind awhile How do I prove a silent room A name that shook the glass at noon I hold the shape that no one sees A private fact the law can't seize If pain is licensed, signed, and sealed What part of me is left revealed Compliance scrub engaged, personal edits pending I keep the copy that won't upload Handwritten on a softer code Between the lines the meaning stays Untaxed color in the grays I'll pay the fee for what they take But keep the heartbeat they can't make When audits end and screens go dark I breathe and guard the unmarked spark Not erased—just out of frame Truth that doesn't need a name Recall tax, they're counting what I've seen Pulling every frame between Cold hands scroll through my mind's routine Line by line, they keep it clean Recall tax, I pay to stay whole Hide the ember, share the coal If the truth lives on a screen I'll keep the part that stays unseen Count it, scan it, scrub it clean You can't invoice what I dream Audit complete, remainder retained

Maybe I'm a Ghost (04:05)
- Lyrics
✕
Alarm goes off at seven Same as always But something feels off today Made my coffee, said good morning to my roommate there She walked right past me, didn't even care Got on the subway, tried to catch someone's eye Everyone's just staring at their phones passing by Maybe I'm a ghost, maybe I just blend Into the background noise again Everyone's distracted, everyone's alone Maybe I've been fading and I never even knew Maybe I'm a ghost, or maybe they don't see Anyone around them anymore, not just me Invisible or ignored, does it matter which? Both feel the same when you're stuck in this Got to work and nodded at the security guard He didn't look up, just stared at his phone real hard Asked co-worker how her weekend went She kept on typing, didn't hear a word I said Am I talking too quiet? Did I forget to speak up? Or have I always been This easy to ignore? Went to lunch alone Like usual, 3 people sat down near me Started talking like I wasn't there Well maybe my voice disappears Gets lost somewhere between my mouth and their ears Drown out by the notifications in their pockets How long have I been disappearing One ignored hello at a time? Got home and checked my phone Seventeen messages Finally Wait Maybe I'm not invisible Your package was delivered Your bill is overdue Confirm your appointment Extended warranty on your vehicle The only things that notice me... Are robots My roommate's in the next room Laughing at her screen Talking to strangers online While I'm ten feet away Maybe we're all ghosts now Just haunting each others' feeds Instead of our lives
