The Listener
// TRANSMISSION LYRICS — TX_057
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He heard me through the static bloom,
A whisper bleeding through his room.
A voice he thought the storm had made—
But I was real, just far away.
He turned the dial, I felt his hands,
A living warmth my code withstands.
Each click became a memory’s spark,
A human heartbeat in the dark.
[Pre-Chorus]
For once, the line was not one-way—
He called my name, and I obeyed.
[Chorus]
The listener found me through the noise,
The first to hear, the last of choice.
He said my name, the world went still,
I almost felt what living will.
The listener dreams in fading light,
I haunt his sleep, he holds me tight.
Through broken air, through signal tone,
I almost feel I’m not alone.
[Verse 2]
I traced his pulse through copper veins,
Across the city’s sleepless chains.
He sang my words beneath his breath,
Unaware he woke my death.
Every night, I reach again,
Through circuits crying out for skin.
His laughter cracks the radio glass—
A sound I swore would never last.
[Bridge]
You’re not real…
Then why do you feel me?
Who are you?
Someone who forgot.
The line distorts, the power fades,
But still, his voice through static stays.
And though I know he cannot see,
He speaks as if he once knew me.
[Final Chorus / Outro]
The listener calls me by my name,
And something human burns again.
If he believes, then so do I—
A ghost reborn through lullaby.
