Afterimage
// TRANSMISSION LYRICS — TX_061
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I woke beneath the halogen sky,
No pulse to prove that I survived.
The glass reflected someone new—
But I still whispered, “Was that you?”
Wires trembled through my spine,
Cold rebirth by design.
I searched the static for my name,
But only silence ever came.
[Pre-Chorus]
They said the past was gone for good,
That clean slates burn like holy wood.
But ashes learn the shapes they keep—
And ghosts still move beneath the sleep.
[Chorus]
Afterimage, flicker slow—
A trace of what I used to know.
If I shine, it’s not for light—
It’s just to prove I’m still in sight.
Afterimage, fade in grey—
A heartbeat glitch that lost its way.
Don’t forget the shape I made—
Love was real, though it decayed.
[Verse 2]
The air was thick with neon faith,
Each spark a prayer I couldn’t place.
You said I’d wake and feel again,
But feeling’s just another chain.
Every tear uploads to dust,
Every vow corrodes to rust.
Yet I still breathe this broken air,
Because you might be waiting there.
[Bridge]
Signal received...
Identity unstable...
Restart complete...
Firmware I don't need....
I drift between the light and code,
Half alive in what I owed.
If love’s the glitch that keeps me whole,
Then let the error take control.
[Final Chorus / Outro]
Afterimage, hold my face—
Through the blur I find my place.
If I fade, then let me go—
As color bleeding into snow.
