Track Notes

A sprint through digital paranoia, chasing a bug that feels alive. It is equal parts kinetic and haunted.

Lyrics
[Intro] "It's in the wires... it's in my head" "I thought I fixed this yesterday" "Why won't it stay dead?" [Verse 1] It starts again - the build goes red I hear it whisper in the thread Breakpoints hit, but nothing's clear This bug's been hiding all year [Pre-Chorus 1] Semaphore's locked, my patience thins Stack trace screaming through the din It waits in silence, then it strikes I've patched it once, I've patched it twice [Chorus 1] It's a race case chase, a digital ghost Slipping through gaps when I need it most I write, it rewrites, a phantom byte It lives in shadows, feeds at night [Verse 2] Coffee shakes, a thousand pings I hear it laughing in the strings All my logs now read like screams It's tearing holes inside my dreams [Pre-Chorus 2] Context switched, and so did I Running loops just to survive Locks are held but not by me I built this trap, can't find the key [Chorus 2] It's a race case chase, a cursed design Twisting the truth with every line I push, it pulls, corrupts the flow Can't kill what I can't show [Bridge] "You made me, didn't you?" "You wrote the line, you missed the clue" "This isn't just a bug - it's you" "Code is law, and I broke through" [Chorus 3] It's a race case chase, and I'm the flaw Split between what I am and saw I tried to fix what I became But now we're running just the same [Outro] No patch left (left) No test passed (passed) Just a loop that loops And a bug that lasts
