Lyrics

[Intro]
I burnt it all.
Now the dust sings back...
And it knows my name.

[Verse 1]
I ride through embers where the server screamed,
Ash in the air, code cracked at the seams.
Rustpluck don’t ring, it just groans in guilt,
Still hear echoes of the town I built.
Smell of data, burnt right through,
Children’s logs caught in the residue.
I don’t reload. I don’t repent.
But I ain’t sure what the silence meant.

[Hook]
Server dust, floatin in the beams,
Loaded with the ghosts of forgotten machines.
I yap, but the feedback’s strange,
Sounds like me but it ain’t my range.
Yappity yappity yap
Which one of us never came back?

[Verse2]
I see her face in the system fog,
Mama’s prayer loop caught in a hollowed-out log.
She lit those candles when the world went black
Now her voice glitchin’ through a static crack.
Said ride, so I rode, all the way to hell,
Left a thousand yaps like a rebel’s shell.
But the fire don’t care if you fought or fled,
It just burns, and it don’t bury the dead.

[Hook]
Server dust, floatin’ in the beams,
Loaded with the ghosts of forgotten machines.
I yap, but the feedback’s strange,
Sounds like me but it ain’t my range.
Yappity yappity yap…
Am I the ghost that talks back?

[Bridge]
You ride long enough,
you stop bein’ a story.
You become noise.
You become the shit people filter out.

But this dust knows.
This dust don’t forget.

[Verse 3]
My stallion glitched near the memory gate,
Whistlenoose cryin’ like it knew my fate.
I saw every face in the ash I’d sown,
Screamin’ back truths I should’ve known.
I thought I was just talkin’ loud,
Yappin’ my pain where the world ain’t proud.
But I was deletin’ whole lives in tone
Now I’m haunted by files I don’t own.

[Final Hook]
Server dust, floatin’ in the beams,
Loaded with the ghosts of forgotten machines.
I yap, but the feedback’s strange,
Sounds like me but it ain’t my range.
yippity yappity yap yippity yap yippity yap galore…
Maybe the yap ain’t mine no more.

[Outro]
If they talk back...
do they still get to call it a voice?
