system...

[Verse 1 – Reflective, ambient]

This is the house that policy built.
Perched on a cliff, proud and still.
Its walls were ink, its windows patched —
But the tide below was never matched.

[Verse 2 – Spoken, solemn]

We walked its halls on audit days,
Taped shut cracks with formal praise.
“We’ve always done it this way,” they'd say,
While time and threat chipped it away.
[Pre-Chorus – Rising intensity]

Firewall in the fireplace,
Camera blinking into space.
The attic was air-gapped —
But no one checked the stairs.

[Chorus – Spoken/Shouted, rhythmic]

One breach.
Then two.
Then six.
Then silence.
No one left home.
No one left blame.
Just a shell where intent once came.

[Instrumental Break – Glitch crescendo Stuttering kicks, modulated static, error beeps. Vocoder snippets of previous lines echo and fragment: “We’ve always... breach… silence…”]


[Bridge – Ambient glitch]

We rewrote, retried, renamed the rooms.
But trust doesn’t bloom in a haunted tomb.
We left behind the brittle frame,
And built new ground — far from the name.
[Final Verse – Quiet, unresolved]

Now this house creaks in memory,
Policy etched into dust.
It’s not the fortress we defend —
It’s a warning left to rust.

[Final Chorus – Echoed, sparse, low mix]

One breach.
Then two.
Then six.
Then silence.
No code left clean.
No flags to raise.
Just echoes in recursive haze.

[Outro – Whispered with reverb]

This isn’t system restored.
This is system…
Abandoned.
