Celestial Echoescape - Proxy Grief Lyrics

[Intro]
Static in my head, your voice through the wire
Last recording's playing while the world's on fire

[Verse 1]
Old man taught me more than notes could say
Mariinsky nights, now you've faded away
Dmitri's wisdom echoes through these halls
Your violin weeps as the curtain falls
F*ck these digital graves we build
Cold comfort when the heart's been killed
Every memory's compressed and stored
But can't recreate what I lived before

[Chorus]
Can't save you to my hard drive
Can't store your soul inside
These bits and bytes won't bring you back
Your ghost in my machine tonight
Screaming through the static, yeah
Your wisdom turns to noise
Lost in translation, lost in time
Just zeroes in the void

[Verse 2]
Late night talks about breaking rules
Now I'm breaking down like a f*cking fool
Mentorship turned to emptiness
Your last breath cached in consciousness
They say your works will live forever
But that shit don't make me feel better
Every file's got your fingerprints
But can't capture what your presence meant

[Bridge]
Delete, repeat, your face dissolves
System crash when the pain evolves
Corrupted files of what we shared
Frozen moments, no one cared

[Chorus]
Can't save you to my hard drive
Can't store your soul inside
These bits and bytes won't bring you back
Your ghost in my machine tonight
Screaming through the static, yeah
Your wisdom turns to noise
Lost in translation, lost in time
Just zeroes in the void

[Outro]
Rest in peace, old master of the stage
Your legacy burns through this digital age
But all I've got is static in my head
And recordings of everything you said
