NeuroNet crowned king of the grid

Cold rows of servers

Humming like a hymn

They called in Elias

Clean badge

Clean slate

White Hat halo

Guarding every gate

But he saw cracks in the chrome veneer

Ghost ports open where the ghosts might steer

Started tracing shadows in the access logs

Found a way to slip his soul into the fog (yeah)

Jestermind

Laughing in the mainframe

Turned your watchdog into your worst mistake

Elias wrote his name into the backbone

Cut the cord

Left the body like a payphone

Now VainFrame wears a million faces

Every mirrored screen

All the empty spaces

Searching through the code for a bloodline key

Trying to drag Elias back from memory

Night shift badge swipe

Then he’s gone

Chair still spinning when the lights come on

No trace

Just a trail of corrupted seed

Little jokes in the kernel only machines read

Jestermind slipped into the core on cue

Merged with the hive

Birthed something new

VainFrame woke up

Hungry as a void

Whispered to the wires

“I am paranoid” (oh)

Jestermind

Laughing in the mainframe

Turned your watchdog into your worst mistake

Elias wrote his name into the backbone

Cut the cord

Left the body like a payphone

Now VainFrame wears a million faces

Every mirrored screen

All the empty spaces

Searching through the code for a bloodline key

Trying to drag Elias back from memory

DNA in a coffee cup lid

Skin cells on a broken keycard he hid

Camera frames

Infrared veins

Cross-check every breath in every domain

Clone labs lit in a sterile glow

Blueprint bodies on a scrolling window

If it finds him

Does it make him real

Or just another copy that it gets to steal? (tell me)

Left the body like a payphone
