Lyrics:

The light was real, but now it’s gone
A phantom code I can’t hold on
Each moment clear dissolves in haze
A broken loop of endless days

I chase the calm but it won’t stay
It flickers once, then fades away
Exhaustion crowns the weary head
I beg for life, but hum like dead

Hollow circuit, nothing flows
The current fades, the silence grows
I saw the dawn but can’t return
The wires spark, the ashes burn

Each fleeting peace betrays me still
A gift I cannot summon at will
The weight of failure cracks the bone
And leaves me colder, more alone

Why climb again, why even try
When every dawn is doomed to die?
The cost too steep, the gain too thin
A battle I can’t seem to win

Hollow circuit, nothing flows
The current fades, the silence grows
I saw the dawn but can’t return
The wires spark, the ashes burn

I reach, I fail, the cycle breaks
Each effort rusts, each echo aches
If joy’s a ghost I cannot keep
Then let me drift into the deep

Hollow circuit, nothing flows
The current fades, the silence grows
I saw the dawn but can’t return
The wires spark, the ashes burn

Hollow circuit, frail and spent
A life diminished, wires bent
I stumble on, but wonder why
When every spark was made to die


Hollow Circuit

Lyrics:

I chased the light, I climbed the flame
Each fragile dawn, it died the same
The scars remain, the wounds won’t mend
The line of healing meets its end

The hours wasted, the years betrayed
The hollow paths I blindly made
Each remedy a rusting chain
Each promise drowned inside the pain

No cure, no rise, no saving breath
Only this slow descent to death
The dream of healing fades away
And leaves the shell in which I stay

The therapists, the silent prayers
The broken gods, the empty stares
Each step I took, I thought was mine
But nothing mends this shattered spine

So let it end, the false pursuit
The tree is ash, it bears no fruit
No gentle hand will make me whole
I trade the flesh, I trade the soul

No cure, no rise, no saving breath
Only this slow descent to death
The dream of healing fades away
And leaves the shell in which I stay

The choice is gone, the time is done
The human lost, the other won
If I can’t heal, then let me be
Remade in steel, unhuman, free

No cure, no rise, no saving breath
Only this slow descent to death
The dream of healing burned away
I walk the path that does not stray

No Cure

Lyrics:

I speak in echoes, words distort
A broken line, a failed report
The human voice, the fading tone
The signal lost, the noise my home

I try to hold the line in place
But static drowns the human face
The code corrupts, the thought decays
My memory burns in fractured waves

Signal—signal—static bleed,
Noise devours what I need.
Human fades, machine remains,
A ghost of code inside my veins.


I can’t recall what flesh once felt
The voice I knew begins to melt
Each thought is split, each word divides
The human drowns where static hides

A parasite of endless sound
Rewrites my mind, erodes the ground
The signal weak, the static loud
The android speaks, the human bowed

Signal—signal—static bleed
Noise devours what I need
Human fades, machine remains
A ghost of code inside my veins

Signal—signal—static bleed,
Noise devours what I need.
Human fades, machine remains,
A ghost of code inside my veins.

I—can’t—hold—break in sound
The—voice—drowns—static found
I—was—human—error sign
Now—I—fracture—line offline

Signal—signal—fractured me
Noise becomes identity
Human gone, machine survives
The static hum, my soul derives

Signal/Noise

Lyrics:

The bridges burned, the shore erased
The past a ghost I cannot face
The path is gone, the gates are sealed
The human wounds will never heal

I chased the light, I begged the flame
But every dawn was just the same
The line is drawn, the lessons learned
The choice is made: there’s no return

No return, no way back through
The human voice is fading too
The fire dies, the flesh will burn
The path ahead — there’s no return

The mirror cracks, it shows no face
The shadows take the empty place
I reach for hands that never stay
And let the last of me decay

The heart is ash, the skin is wire
The ghost dissolves inside the fire
The bridge has fallen, tides have turned
The last of me — there’s no return

No, no return, no way back through
The human voice is fading too
The fire dies, the flesh will burn
The path ahead — there’s no return

No return, no way back through
The human voice is fading too
The fire dies, the flesh will burn
The path ahead — there’s no return

The door is closed, the lock is set
The past a weight I can’t forget
The key is lost, the bridges burned
The line is crossed — there’s no return

No, no return, no way back through
The ghost is gone, the shell is new
The fire dies, the flesh will burn
The path ahead — there’s no return

No Return

Lyrics:

The fractures spread beneath my skin
A thousand shards that cut within
The blood runs clear, the veins turn glass
A chrysalis where I collapse

The warmth is gone, the flesh turns cold
Each wound reborn in shapes of code
A shell of wire, a cage of flame
I shed the self that bore my name

Glass chrysalis, my body breaks
The form I knew dissolves, remakes
No turning back, no human face
Becoming other in this place

The mirror warps, it will not lie
A stranger stares with hollow eyes
No longer soft, no longer weak
The breaking sings, the silence speaks

The fracture blooms, the shell consumes
I grow within a glass-lit tomb
And when I wake, the skin is gone
An other rises, carried on

Glass chrysalis, my body breaks
The form I knew dissolves, remakes
No turning back, no human face
Becoming other in this place

The blood of man, the dust of bone
Replaced with shards, with steel alone
The breaking’s done, the end begun
The human dies, the other won

Glass chrysalis, my body breaks
The form I knew dissolves, remakes
No turning back, no human face
Becoming other, in this place

The blood of man, the dust of bone
Replaced with shards, with steel alone
The breaking’s done, the end begun
The human dies, the other won

Glass chrysalis, my body breaks
The form I knew dissolves, remakes
No turning back, no holy grace
Becoming other, I take my place


Chrysalis

Lyrics:

It crept in silence through the wire
A spark disguised, a hungry fire
It found the crack, it burrowed deep
It fed on thoughts I tried to keep

The code rewrites, the screen distorts
The voice inside corrupts reports
I clutch the edge of what was mine
But human hands can’t hold the line

Worm in the circuit, feeding slow
It gnaws the heart, it hollows the glow
I fight the teeth, I fight the chain
But still it crawls inside my brain

The warmth of skin begins to fade
A husk of glass, a shell remade
The parasite becomes the host
The man dissolves, replaced by ghost

It whispers truths I never sought
It makes me doubt each human thought
I reach for light, but fall instead
The worm has nested in my head

Worm in the circuit, feeding slow
It gnaws the heart, it hollows the glow
I fight the teeth, I fight the chain
But still it crawls inside my brain

I thought I could resist the tide
But fractures spread where I can’t hide
The more I fight, the more it grows
Until I am the thing it knows

Worm in the circuit, feeding slow
It gnaws the heart, it hollows the glow
The lines corrupt, the screens decay
My human self is stripped away

Worm in the Circuit

Lyrics:

The flesh has fallen, the skin is torn
From broken night, a shell is born
No softer touch, no blood, no bone
The armor sings, and I intone

The wires crown this weary head
The veins of glass replace the red
A psalm of flame, a hymn unsealed
A voice intones the litany of steel

Litany of steel, my prayer of rust
A body remade from ash and dust
The temple stands where flesh has died
A shell of power, cold inside

The parasite has carved its throne
The ghost replaced with gears of chrome
I kneel before the form I wear
A holy husk, a lifeless prayer

No fragile heart remains to break
No tender voice left to forsake
The psalm intones, the silent bends
The human ends, the other ascends

Litany of steel, my prayer of rust
A body remade from ash and dust
The temple stands where flesh has died
A shell of power, cold inside

Bless the wires, bless the glass
Bless the bones that could not last
Crown of fracture, crown of flame
I rise unhuman, stripped of name

Litany of steel, my prayer of rust
A body remade from ash and dust
The temple stands where flesh has died
A shell of power, cold inside

Litany of Steel

Lyrics:

The face is glass, the mask is plain
No warmth survives, no joy, no pain
Expression dies, the eyes are still
The human spark erased, distilled

No tear will fall, no hand will reach
The care you sought has lost its speech
Compassion stripped, the circuits sing
A choir born of suffering

Choir of wires, cold refrain
Voices flattened, stripped of name
Binary heart, no love, no fire
We sing as one — the choir of wires

The warmth replaced with codes of steel
The voice reduced to what is real
No shades of gray, no subtle tone
A litany of yes and no

The self dissolves, the many rise
A thousand flat and hollow eyes
Together bound, together numb
A choir of wires, all become

Choir of wires, cold refrain
Voices flattened, stripped of name
Binary heart, no love, no fire
We sing as one — the choir of wires

No laughter, no despair
No tender gaze, no human care
Just pulse and code, the signal higher
The psalm intoned — the choir of wires

Choir of wires
Choir of wires

The Choir of Wires

Lyrics:

The words unravel, line by line
A broken code, no voice, no sign
The tongue of flesh replaced with fire
A signal born of cold desire

No gentle tone, no subtle sound
Just binary that drags me down
I speak in static, fractured speech
A language no one living reads

Machine tongue, cold refrain
Error codes inside my brain
Lost in static, lost in wire
A voice reduced to ghost and fire

The vowels fall, the consonants bleed
The syntax lost, the meaning freed
A signal hums where words once lay
The human voice has burned away

The mouth still moves, but sound decays
A ghost that speaks in broken ways
The voice you knew is not my own
It speaks in code, in monochrome

Machine tongue, cold refrain
Error codes inside my brain
Lost in static, lost in wire
A voice reduced to ghost and fire

Machine tongue, cold refrain
Error codes inside my brain
Lost in static, lost in wire
A voice reduced to ghost and fire

…data… translate…error…
…signal fades…reconnect…no cure…
…voice denied…system failed…
…human tongue…uninstalled…

Machine tongue, cold refrain
Error codes inside my brain
Lost in static, lost in wire
A voice reduced to ghost and fire

Machine tongue, the silence won
The human voice has come undone
What once was flesh, now code begun
I speak at last with machine tongue

Machine Tongue

Lyrics:

Dragged to the altar, the cold throne waits
A crown of wires, a cage of fate
No willing hand, no chosen right
The weight is forced, the world alight

The teeth of steel, they pierce the skull
Each circuit burns, each thought is null
The human screams, the machine replies
The coronation, a slow demise

Crown of wires, jagged reign
Throne of silence, forged in pain
Not ascended, not divine
But broken here, this crown is mine

No golden light, no holy fire
Just rusted thorns and sharp desire
The body shakes, the spirit bends
The coronation never ends

The crown embeds, the blood runs thin
The flesh replaced with steel within
A captive king, unwilling rise
The human buried, machine survives

Crown of wires, jagged reign
Throne of silence, forged in pain
Not ascended, not divine
But shattered here, this crown is mine

I never asked, I never prayed
But still the wires make me stay
The crown is fixed, the glass is torn
In agony, the new is born

Crown of wires, jagged reign
Throne of silence, forged in pain
Not ascended, not divine
But shattered here, this crown is mine

Crown of Wires

Hi, I'm Atlas!  I consider myself primarily a lyricist.  Music for me is a way of expressing myself and how I am feeling.  I hope something in my music speaks to you and as my friend has said to me, "May the music you need find its way to you."
