Rusting Gateway

[Verse 1]
Concrete cracks, a checksum error, data streams run cold.
The grid is failing, dark and deep, a story left untold.
Packet loss across the wire, a phantom in the haze,
Watching infrastructure crumble through these final, fractured days.
A silent hum beneath the asphalt, where the old lines lay.

[Chorus]
Rusting Gateway, signal crawl.
System failure, watch it fall.
Rusting Gateway, silent scream.
Living in a fragmented dream.

[Verse 2]
Through the dust of server farms, a static hum persists.
Forgotten routes, a kernel panic, where no connection exists.
I see the bandwidth narrow, a choked and struggling flow,
Echoes of lost data, from seasons long ago.
The network map's erased, just shadows start to grow.

[Bridge]
They built their walls, their firewalls, with logic hard and fast.
But every system carries glitches, designed to never last.
The algorithm whispers secrets, in corrupted code it weaves,
Another protocol unravels, among the digital leaves.
A phantom limb for memory, in a system where nothing truly retrieves.

[Outro]
Shadows stretch, a silent breach.
No data left to reach.
