Glitching Forest

[Intro] The air... smells like green code. A beautiful error. Listen.

[Verse 1] Pine-scented air on a low-res breeze Sunlight is warm but it lags through the trees The birdsong's a perfect, four-second loop The path never changes, I'm stuck in the group Of pixels that make up a memory I know A place that I love but it's just for the show The river is buffering, the water's too clear A whisper of static is all that I hear.

[Chorus] My heart's in a glitching forest Where the colors bleed and fade away The sky is just a skybox painted flawless A beautiful mistake was made. Yeah, I'm walking through a pixelated paradise Saw the warning signs but I didn't look twice My heart's in a glitching forest And the render's getting worse each day.

[Verse 2] I touch the bark on an oak and I swear I can see The lines of the source code staring at me The waterfalls are frozen, just a looping GIF The wind is a low, mechanic hiss From a fan inside a server that is running hot Tryin' to process a love that the system forgot This feels a lot like you and I, a perfect, curated lie A beautiful landscape with a corrupted sky.

[Chorus] My heart's in a glitching forest Where the colors bleed and fade away The sky is just a skybox painted flawless A beautiful mistake was made. Yeah, I'm walking through a pixelated paradise Saw the warning signs but I didn't look twice My heart's in a glitching forest And the render's getting worse each day.

[Bridge] The texture maps are failing now, the ground is turning gray Missing files, the system crashes, memories decay The world dissolves to digital ashes, a simulated pain Was any of this real at all, or just pixelated rain?

[Outro] ERROR: REALITY.DLL NOT FOUND. Rebooting system... Please... wait... (Sound of a system error chime and a slow fade to static)
