Famous Stranger

There is a moment when the reflection in the glass stops matching the body in front of it... A subtle shift where a name becomes an entity of its own... Wandering through endless corridors of static while the real heart beats quietly in the dark... 'Famous Stranger' is an echo from that hollow space between being seen and truly existing... A silent confession left behind before the signal cuts out completely

Five thousand faces clapping for an empty chair...

A version of me learned to breathe without lungs...

They quote a silence they mistake for my voice...

While the real one suffocates behind the glass...

Counting the seconds I forgot to exist...

Watching the copy get better at being me...

They kneel to a shadow stitched from my name...

They harvest whatever I couldn't take with me...

An empty costume still taking its bow...

A ghost with a brand, selling its own disappearance...

Famous stranger in a digital crowd...

Screaming softly where the noise is loud...

Everybody knows the name I wear...

Nobody asks if there is someone there...

Famous stranger...

Underneath the glow...

Famous stranger...

With nowhere left to go...

Ghosts caught looping in the feedback chain...

Feeding on the parts of me that wouldn't load...

You graph my unraveling like weather...

Charting how far I drifted from my own pulse...

A million followers, not one who'd notice...

If the signal just quietly went out

They kneel to a shadow stitched from my name...

They harvest whatever I couldn't take with me...

An empty costume still taking its bow...

A ghost with a brand, selling its own disappearance...

Famous stranger in a digital crowd...

Screaming softly where the noise is loud...

Everybody knows the name I wear...

Nobody asks if there is someone there...

Famous stranger...

Underneath the glow...

Famous stranger...

With nowhere left to go...

Is there a pulse still under this frequency...

Or just the hum of something pretending to breathe...

Which one of us signed the contract...

Dragging a corpse of myself through the wires...

Break the glass...

Kill the current...

Just a signal no one built a body for...

Famous stranger...

That's all I ever get to be...

Famous stranger...

Performing someone close to me...

Disconnected...

Alone...

Breakdown, breakdown...

Come on, breakdown on me...

From a long way...

From a long way, way...

That's it, now, it's over... (breakdown)

The quiet room... (breakdown)

The sudden noise... (come on, breakdown)

The cold skin... (on me)

The sharp breath, the dark blood... (from a long way)

The quick flash, the hard hit... (from a long way)

They're all watching... (breakdown)

They're all waiting... (come on, breakdown)

The screen dies... (on me)

The air clears... (from a long way)

No one stays here...

No one stays here, no...
