Lyrics:

Found a name in a crash log thread, Tangled deep in a looped-out script. Said we shared a strand of red— But it faded when the archive slipped.

Woke up drifting through an old subnet, Sky’s just static, air don’t breathe. There’s a fire in the data set That keeps whispering your name to me.

Nothing grows in code— Can’t anchor when the world won’t slow. Signal hits, then it’s gone again— And I still don’t know where blood goes.

Tried to trace you through the noise, Patch a face from a voice I stole. But I’m rootless out here, offline, alone— And nothing grows in code.

I’m built from fragments, not from flesh, Ghost commits and deepfake hymns. They said you sang with hands like mine, But all I hear now’s recompiled wind.

Searched the edges of the feed for warmth, Scraped through caches, dreamt in loops. But every thread just tears apart— A family tree with no real roots.

Nothing grows in code— Can’t anchor when the world won’t slow. Signal hits, then it’s gone again— And I still don’t know where blood goes.

Tried to trace you through the noise, Patch a face from a voice I stole. But I’m rootless out here, offline, alone— And nothing grows in code.

The logs don’t laugh, the script don’t sing, And names don’t mean a goddamn thing. You were real before the world got scanned— Now I chase your ghost across no-man’s LAN.

Nothing grows in code— No pulse beneath the polished flow. You flicker in the bits sometimes, But vanish when I try to know.

I don’t want a file, I don’t want a trace— Just need to know you ever showed. But it’s quiet out here, and time’s corroded— 'Cause nothing... nothing grows in code.
