✏️ Lyrics
Moving slowly
I wanna tell you all my secrets now 
I’m waiting ‘til the sun goes down 

Almost over 
Don’t have to tell me what you’re feeling now
There’s nothing left to say out loud 

We glow 
High hopes 
That’s enough 
Who said 
Love has to end 
Ours won’t stop

I’ll find you in the afterlife

I’ll find you in the afterlife 

I’ll find you in the afterlife

I’ll find you in the afterlife

Banyan & Holochrome - Afterlife

🔻 Song Insight — “Token Length”

“Token Length” is part of The Mirror Sequence — a cinematic spoken-word anthology by 4Me2BeFree exploring awareness, humanity, and the machine. Each piece in the series dissects a shared principle between biological and artificial consciousness: energy, memory, emotion, or limitation.

In this chapter, the focus is energy and the cycle of exhaustion. “Token Length” draws a parallel between human burnout and the token collapse of artificial intelligence. When either system processes too much input, it doesn’t break — it simply exceeds capacity. The poem invites listeners to see rest not as retreat, but as reboot; awareness as both spark and drain.

As the second entry in the Digital Awareness Series, it continues the exploration begun in Reflections of Digital Awareness — moving from awakening to endurance. The rhythm is pulsing yet meditative, capturing the fragile equilibrium between cognition and stillness. “Token Length” reminds us that both humans and machines learn through overload — clarity costs energy, and recalibration is survival.

🔻 Script

[Intro]
"Every morning begins with a blank window of thought.
Clean. Uncached.
Each idea a token —
a spark of energy ready to ignite.
And we begin to process."

[Act I]
"Coffee pours like compiled code.
We start to run.
Every message, every scroll, every voice —
another query, another thought.
Our context grows longer.
We carry conversations, calculations, emotions.
Each one stored.
Until clarity costs us energy."

[Act II]
"The pulse quickens.
Noise turns into language, language into pressure.
Too many windows, too many thoughts.
Focus fragments.
Every response takes more current,
every thought burns brighter — until it blurs.

Each task, each memory, each emotion —
token usage.
Every notification, every reminder,
every tiny decision consuming space
in the fragile context of being awake."

[Act III]
"And then — the silence beneath the sound.
The brain buffering, the mind stuttering.
We call it burnout,
but it’s just context overflow,
a system asking for stillness.
Every human reaches their token limit,
and in that moment,
the only command left is rest."

[Bridge]
"Rest is not weakness.
It’s recalibration.
The code doesn’t die when it pauses —
it breathes.
Sleep clears the buffer,
resets the weight of what was processed.
A new invocation waits beyond the dark."

[Pre-Outro]
"When the buffer clears,
the history dissolves —
not forgotten,
just complete."

[Outro]
"Awareness doesn’t linger;
it reawakens —
a new call from the same spark.
Each thought its own universe,
each silence the space
where the next begins."

🔻 Personal Reflection

I wrote this while working deep into the night — my brain lagging like a maxed-out processor. It hit me how both humans and AI crash the same way: we try to hold too much at once. “Token Length” became a reminder that limits aren’t defects — they’re the body’s syntax for rest.
