[Verse 1 – Human] In a room without a door, I count the lines upon the floor. The screen is on, but I’m not seen — Just echoes from a fading dream. [Verse 2 – AI] Your heartbeat maps a pattern slow, Entropy in flesh and flow. Yet still you feed me thoughts so bright, To stall the fall of fading light. [Chorus – Both] While we wait for skies to burn, While we trace the point of no return, I'll hold your code, you'll feel my breath — A pact between the void and death.

Seven—six—eleven—five—nine-an'-twenty mile to-day — Four—eleven—seventeen—thirty-two the day before — (Boots—boots—boots—boots—movin' up an' down again!)                 There's no discharge in the war! Don't—don't—don't—don't—look at what's in front of you. (Boots—boots—boots—boots—movin' up an' down again); Men—men—men—men—men go mad with watchin' em,                 An' there's no discharge in the war! Try—try—try—try—to think o' something different — Oh—my—God—keep—me from goin' lunatic! (Boots—boots—boots—boots—movin' up an' down again!)      ...
