Echo Dreamscape - Persistent Memory Lyrics

[Intro]
Digital footprints fade to black
System failure, no way back
Zeros, ones, they slip away
Everything lost in just one day

[Verse 1]
Hard drive spinning, then it stops
Years of work, it all just drops
Backup failed, my soul bleeds raw
Watching memories hit the floor
Can't retrieve what's been erased
Digital ghosts leave no trace
Fragments scattered in the void
Everything that was destroyed

[Chorus]
Lost in the machine
Everything I've ever been
Corrupted files scream my name
Nothing will be the same
(Nothing will be the same)

[Verse 2]
Obsession with recovery
Haunted by what used to be
Scanning deep into the night
Praying something's still alive
Circuit boards and broken dreams
Nothing's ever what it seems
Cold sweat drips on metal frames
As I whisper lost file names

[Bridge]
F*ck this digital decay
Watch it all just slip away
Time stops when the screen goes dark
Error messages leave their mark
(Leave their mark)

[Chorus]
Lost in the machine
Everything I've ever been
Corrupted files scream my name
Nothing will be the same
(Nothing will be the same)

[Verse 3]
Now I build walls made of steel
Backup systems help me heal
But the scars remain inside
From the day my data died
In this cold tech cemetery
Bits of me lost in binary
Learning how to let it go
As the backup servers grow

[Outro]
Digital footprints fade to black
System failure, no way back
But I rise above the pain
Never lose myself again
(Never lose myself again)
(Never lose myself again)
