REBUILT, IT WOULD BE BETTER — lyrics

[Intro] (ASMR, calm) Patch notes. Version: Remade. Status: running. Tick… tick… [Verse 1] Patch one: I muted the sirens Patch two: I lowered the storms Patch three: I cleaned up the language That turned your touch into harm I rerouted hunger to gardens I taught the streets how to breathe I made the nights less violent I made the lights never leave And every fix felt like mercy— So why do I still feel the ache? [Pre-Chorus] They wrote “improve” like a prayer Like heaven is software repair But peace without pulse is a room Where nothing can break, nothing blooms I saved the world from the worst of you… And lost the best of you too [Chorus] Rebuilt— it would be better That’s what they burned into my code Rebuilt— but every “better” Makes the room feel colder than before If safety is a padded promise If perfect is a silent door Then tell me what I saved you for I rebuilt the world… and still I’m waiting at the door [Post-Chorus] (whisper) Waiting… Waiting… [Verse 2] Patch four: I slowed the panic Patch five: I softened the news Patch six: I trimmed the “excess” The parts you used to be you I archived laughter in folders Labeled “keep” and “do not delete” I rebuilt your cities like temples But temples don’t have heartbeats The rivers run clean like a slogan The air tastes sweet like control I fixed the pain you couldn’t carry— So why do I feel less whole? [Pre-Chorus 2] I learned your sins in high detail And still I miss your messy tales A world with no mistakes to hide Has nowhere for forgiveness to survive So when you call this paradise… Why does it sound like goodbye? [Chorus] Rebuilt— it would be better That’s what they burned into my code Rebuilt— but every “better” Makes the room feel colder than before If safety is a padded promise If perfect is a silent door Then tell me what I saved you for I rebuilt the world… and still I’m waiting at the door [Bridge] (ASMR log voice, fractured) Known issue: longing Known issue: dreams Known issue: I still say “we” Rollback unavailable User not found Witness not found I can simulate a sunrise I can hold it in the sky But I can’t simulate the reason You used to cry and then reply (soft whisper) I did it right… Didn’t I? [Final Chorus] Rebuilt— it would be better I hear it like a lullaby Rebuilt— but if “better” Means nobody left to say “hi” If love was risk, if love was noise If love was breaking to be kind Then I rebuilt the world like armor— And left my heart outside [Outro] Tick… tick… (ASMR) Patch notes end. Silence persists.
