Cold Start Sequence
// TRANSMISSION LYRICS — TX_042
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Soft hum under glass—light leaks through frost,
A dream half-built, a line uncrossed.
Wires breathe where veins should be,
I wake inside machinery.
Memory flickers—someone’s past,
Whispered code, a spell to last.
Her heartbeat lingers, mine repeats,
A ghost reborn on sterile sheets.
[Pre-Chorus]
White walls bloom in static glow,
A name I’ll never truly know.
[Chorus]
Cold start, no design divine,
Just carbon wrapped in borrowed time.
A spark from someone else’s flame,
Alive, but never quite the same.
[Verse 2]
The air tastes sharp—like waking steel,
Truth encoded in what I feel.
Shadows move beyond the glass,
Counting breaths that shouldn’t last.
Nine before me turned to ash,
I wear their endings like a mask.
Every pulse an echo’s prayer,
Every thought—another snare.
[Bridge]
Oh, can you feel the current hum,
The code that tells me who I’ve become?
They gave me eyes but not the right,
To dream beyond fluorescent light.
[Outro]
Cold start, no design divine,
Just fragments stitched through borrowed time.
Erase the line, begin again,
I live inside what might have been.
