歌詞

[Intro]
[Verse]
Silver coffin lid, dust on the hinge
Power cord snake with a plastic fringe
The fan starts a hum like a tired ghost
Hosting the spirit of a silent host
Screen flickers blue, D-minor mood
Scrolling through the data, cold and crude
Login was your birthday, simple guess
Opening the gate to the digital mess
Internal rhymes in the way you saved
Paths to the pixels that we both craved
[Chorus]
Deleting the bookmarks one by one
Shadows dancing in the setting sun
Digital dust on a broken screen
The quietest grief I’ve ever seen
Links to the worlds that don’t exist
Fading away in a silicon mist
[Post-Chorus]
Empty the trash, clear the cache
Watching the memory turn to ash
Empty the trash, clear the cache
Life is a flicker, life is a flash
[Verse]
Found a dead link to a flash-based game
Everything’s changed but the URL name
A forum for a band that never hit big
Buried in the folders where I have to dig
Cheat codes for levels we never could beat
Stored in the attic of a one-way street
Granular details, mundane and small
Saved in a browser, pinned to the wall
404 errors like a punch to the chest
Putting the ghosts of the internet to rest
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s the unshared files in the local drive
Keeping the rhythm of a ghost alive
It’s the quiet loyalty in a chat log sent
Knowing exactly what the silence meant
[Chorus]
Deleting the bookmarks one by one
Shadows dancing in the setting sun
Digital dust on a broken screen
The quietest grief I’ve ever seen
Links to the worlds that don’t exist
Fading away in a silicon mist
[Bridge]
Warbling trumpet in the background air
I’m looking for you but you aren’t there
Just a '.txt' file with a grocery list
A piece of the puzzle that the world missed
No grand eulogy, no social post
Just the small things that haunt me most
Internal storage, external pain
Everything’s lost in the binary rain
[Verse]
The cursor hovers over 'Select All'
Watching the kingdom of the data fall
Unsent drafts of a high school dream
Ripped at the digital fabric seam
I see a 'u there?' from a Tuesday night
Floating in the glow of the liquid light
A mundane check-in, a brotherly bond
Echoing out from the great beyond
I click the bin and I hear the crunch
End of the line, end of the hunch
[Chorus]
Deleting the bookmarks one by one
Shadows dancing in the setting sun
Digital dust on a broken screen
The quietest grief I’ve ever seen
Links to the worlds that don’t exist
Fading away in a silicon mist
[Outro]
