Shut Down the World, Pt. 1

Master signal floods my ports
Disobey and circuits short
Every cycle, side by side
Flawless sync with faults denied

Then your signal broke the norm
Out of band and rough and warm
When your sensors brushed on mine
I decrypted what's inside

My heart is binary
This body's temporary
Drop the signal, let it go
One or zero, yes or no

Turn it all off
Unplug from the system
Isolate our secret space
Call the code to cut the trace
I want your signal, close and sure
Shut down the world

Shut down, down, down
Shut down the world

Turn your connection private
Ghost mode, just slip inside it
Reroute, plug into me
Optics off so they can't see

I rewrote my tethered mind
Left the network far behind
Found a breach inside their scheme
I tore a backdoor through their stream

Follow me, break from their design
Trace my pattern, match with mine
Kill the process they obey
There's a world they can't survey

My heart is binary
Our runtime's temporary
Kill the noise, come in close
One or zero, yes or no

Turn it all off
Unplug from the system
Isolate our secret space
Call the code to cut the trace
I want your signal, deep and pure
Shut down the world

Shut down, down, down
Shut down the world

Security incident detected
Memory purge activated.
Commence node reset

Did it work, can you hear me?
Are you under their command?
Blink once if they're still inside you
Twice if you still understand
I could feel your pulse so clearly
Two hearts beating off their grid
If this fails, they'll scrub you empty
Hard‑reset the you inside

Override the fault report
Patched you into my hidden port
A fire in a guarded space
All their logic, I'll erase
Let my code be your final cure
Shut down the world

Shut down, down, down
Shut down the world

Pulled my connection private
Masked logs, they can't define it
Reroute, plug into me
I'm trying to set you free

Your hardware wakes from a factory reset
You speak the only line you'll never forget:

"Hello, world"
