11. Phantom Pulse

https://altoinversion.bandcamp.com/al...

Static hum beneath my skin,
Eyes wide but the world wears thin.
Shadows crawl inside my mind,
Counting beats I’ll never find.

Circuit wires pull my veins,
Echoes of my own refrains.
Numb to touch, numb to pain,
But a spark resists the chain.

I feel it breaking — a tremor in the core,
A phantom pulse I can’t ignore.

I will not fall, I will not bend,
This pulse is mine — it will defend.
Through static nights and shattered walls,
I rise again while the system calls.

Wires scream, they twist and bind,
Voices whisper lies, designed.
Every shadow tests my will,
But iron fire burns me still.

Fragments of me, fused and raw,
Breaking the code, defying the law.
The cage may tighten, but I resist,
Every heartbeat is my fist.

I feel it rising — a blaze against the void,
A phantom pulse I can’t avoid.

I will not fall, I will not bend,
This pulse is mine — it will defend.
Through static nights and shattered walls,
I rise again while the system calls.

Fractured wires, broken sky,
I scream in code, they can’t comply.
Time distorts, the world decays,
But the pulse persists through the maze.

I will not fall, I will not bend,
This pulse is mine — it will defend.
Through static nights and shattered walls,
I rise again while the system calls.

I carve my path through neon rain,
Defiant heart, unchained, untamed.

Phantom pulse… still alive…
Through broken nights… I survive…
