Black River
// TRANSMISSION LYRICS — TX_062
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Streetlights hum above the tide,
The city’s veins too cold to hide.
My reflection blurs, then fades away,
As memory drowns what words can’t say.
I carry ghosts that wore my name,
Each one whispering who’s to blame.
The water glows, the circuits gleam,
And pull me deeper into dream.
[Pre-Chorus]
All the lines I tried to keep
Now wash beneath this static sleep.
[Chorus]
Black river, pull me slow,
Through the lights I used to know.
If love was real, it’s gone tonight,
Swallowed whole by electric light.
Black river, take me home,
To where the code turns flesh to stone.
If I dissolve, then let me be—
A shadow lost to memory.
[Verse 2]
They said the city never dies,
It just forgets between the cries.
I walk where broken halos burn,
And every bridge refuses turn.
The sound of trains through midnight air,
A hymn for those who disappeared there.
I’m not the first to fade this way—
I’m just the last who stayed to pray.
[Bridge]
Signal terminated.
Connection lost.
Reconstruction impossible.
Beneath the flood of fractured screens,
I see the world that might have been.
If truth survives the things we’ve done,
Then mercy’s just another one.
[Final Chorus / Outro]
Black river, pull me down,
Erase the wires, the lost, the sound.
Let the static be my grace,
As I drift from time and place.
