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

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."
