Fault Line

[Verse 1]
The screen lit up, a sudden, blinding pulse.
Six months erased, now a digital impulse.
The quiet hum of Portland rain outside,
Couldn't drown the tremor deep inside.
My carefully designed facade, now flickers dim.

[Chorus]
This grid's been rebuilt, brick by careful brick.
Your phantom signal, makes my system kick.
A shadow in the pane, a fleeting, old design.
But I'm the architect, this future's strictly mine.

[Verse 2]
I traced new alleys, where old echoes died.
Watched Tokyo neon, where shadows used to hide.
Each polished surface showed a stronger face,
Thought I'd demolished every trace.
Now your name bleeds light, a forgotten street sign.

[Chorus]
This grid's been rebuilt, brick by careful brick.
Your phantom signal, makes my system kick.
A shadow in the pane, a fleeting, old design.
But I'm the architect, this future's strictly mine.

[Bridge]
The terror and the freedom, I held both tight.
Claimed my own skyline, in the darkest night.
This unsolicited blueprint, won't break my steady stride.

[Outro]
The message sits unread, a silent, static hum.
This tower stands unyielding, my future's already come.
