    
[Verse 1] 
Cracked screen glow on a vacant face
Another day in the digital haze
Concrete canyons where the neon bleeds
Planting sterile corporate seeds

[Chorus] 
Oh, the future's here, they said it's bright
But shadows dance in the pale moonlight
Twisted towers pierce the synthetic sky
Is this living, or just a slow goodbye?

[Verse 2] [Minor key, driving beat]
Chrome reflections in a rain-slicked street
Whispered rumors of a fading beat
They control the flow, the data stream
Lost in the echo of a broken dream

[Chorus] [More powerful, layered vocals]
Oh, the future's here, they said it's bright
But shadows dance in the pale moonlight
Twisted towers pierce the synthetic sky
Is this living, or just a slow goodbye?

[Bridge] [Spoken word, slightly distorted]
They promised us paradise, a world of ease
But built a gilded cage designed to appease
Our restless hearts, our searching minds
Left us hollow in these digital binds

[Chorus] [Full force, anthemic]
Oh, the future's here, they said it's bright
But shadows dance in the pale moonlight
Twisted towers pierce the synthetic sky
Is this living, or just a slow goodbye?

[Outro] [Fade out with synth and echoing vocals]
Goodbye... goodbye... the slow goodbye...
[Synth fades to silence]
