Click_Pn_1

[Verse 1] The screen froze, a hollow white, The cursor sits, a ghost of light. I click and wait, the seconds crawl, The day stands still against the wall. The window's empty, cold and bare, My chest is tight, a heavy air. It's all so familiar, this quiet dread, Like an old glitch inside my head. [Chorus] The seconds drag like a taut, thin thread, Another circle, then decide instead. Restart the machine, let the hum begin, Installing the update, over and over again. Click, and the silence starts to bend, But the loop won't break, it won't end. [Verse 2] The loading bar, a patient snake, Each pixel moves for my mistake. I trace the lines of yesterday, A frozen frame that won't decay. The clock ticks on, a muted sound, My fingers tap the desk, unbound. I know this path, I've walked it twice, A digital ghost in a static vice. [Bridge] And if I wait for the signal to glow, Will the pieces fall where they used to go? Or just a new version of the same old ache, A patch for the heart that I can't remake? The cursor blinks, a patient plea, But it's just a mirror staring back at me. [Chorus] The seconds drag like a taut, thin thread, Another circle, then decide instead. Restart the machine, let the hum begin, Installing the update, over and over again. Click, and the silence starts to bend, But the loop won't break, it won't end. [Outro] The screen goes dark, a final sigh, I hold my breath, I close my eye. One more click, and the light returns, But the glitch still burns, the glitch still burns.
