Echoes in the Static

Echoes in the Static - DrasticDzastr Flicker of a memory, fading out of sight Digital ghosts in the pale moonlight Can you hear the hum? The frequency so low Where did all the colors go? Silent streets, a city sleeps, but my mind is wide awake Tracing lines of what we were, for goodness gracious sake Every pixel, every beat, a rhythm I once knew Now just a ghost in the machine, a signal breaking through Echoes in the static, a melancholic sound Lost within the circuits, turning round and round Can't escape the feeling, the past is in my head Synthesized emotions, words we left unsaid Fingers trace the keyboard, searching for a trace Of warmth beneath the cold hard light, a smile upon your face But all I find are algorithms, patterns on a screen Reflecting back the emptiness, of what has always been Echoes in the static, a melancholic sound Lost within the circuits, turning round and round Can't escape the feeling, the past is in my head Synthesized emotions, words we left unsaid Driving through the night alone, the city lights a blur Each flashing sign a memory, of how things used to occur Wishing for a rewind, a chance to hit play again But time's a one-way program, my digital old friend Echoes in the static, a melancholic sound Lost within the circuits, turning round and round Can't escape the feeling, the past is in my head Synthesized emotions, words we left unsaid Just a broken signal, in the data stream Living in the memories, of a forgotten dream Hush now, little circuit, let the silence fall Just echoes in the static, answering my call
