City Without Faces
// TRANSMISSION LYRICS — TX_025
Lyrics
[Intro]
The lights don’t blink, they stare instead,
Tracing paths through the walking dead.
Each screen reflects a borrowed face,
Each smile the same, erased, replaced.
[Verse]
Neon veins hum through the street,
The rhythm echoes every beat.
I move through crowds of glowing skin,
But no one here looks back within.
[Pre-Chorus]
All their eyes are mirrors still,
Every word rehearsed at will.
[Chorus]
This city has no faces left,
Just shadows wired and self-possessed.
I walk through ghosts that never fade,
Each one the life I never made.
[Verse]
Children hum in wireless dreams,
Mothers glow in cobalt beams.
Every voice a filtered tune,
Each love confined to data rooms.
[Pre-Chorus]
I feel the signal cross my chest,
The code that claims to know me best.
Their laughter sounds like breaking glass,
Their joy too thin, too clean to last.
[Bridge]
Do they see me when I stare?
Or just the static in the air?
Would they know me if I spoke,
Or would their circuits see a ghost?
[Chorus]
This city has no faces left,
Just empty eyes and coded breath.
I walk alone, unseen, unknown,
A mirror made of skin and bone.
