Track Notes

Low-level memory as a metaphor for emotional residue. It hums with the idea that every decision leaves a trace, even in the quietest layers.

Lyrics
[Verse 1] It started with a careless line Deep in the logic, a trap in time The first commit, a silent seed Spreading cracks we failed to heed [Pre-Chorus] Years go by, and the echoes call Through every thread, it twists and sprawls A legacy we can't outrun The damage left by what we've done [Chorus] So grab your spade and dig it deep We'll find the flaws where shadows creep Bury the past, the cracks, the lies Or watch the kernel split and die [Verse 2] A patch was built, but it fell apart A bandage on a broken heart The ghost of logic lingers still Haunting every test we fill [Pre-Chorus] The echoes grow, they take their toll Every cycle, they swallow whole The fault line's cracking through the core We can't ignore it anymore [Chorus] So grab your spade and dig it deep We'll find the flaws where shadows creep Bury the past, the cracks, the lies Or watch the kernel split and die [Bridge] We built it high, we built it wrong The fractures hid for far too long But if it's real, it will survive Through every test, it comes alive [Chorus] So grab your spade and dig it deep We'll find the flaws where shadows creep Bury the past, the cracks, the lies Or watch the kernel split and die [Outro] Brick by brick, we'll lay it true Through every echo, we'll break through The kernel stands, rebuilt with care A system strong, beyond repair
