Judy

Verse 1 – "First Look"

I met her in the basement, cold light, cold stare,

Tattoos on her skin, static in the air.

Didn’t ask for trust, didn’t hand me truth,

Held it down quiet like it’s bulletproof.

Evelyn was gone, and her faith was thin,

Like every friend left when the rot kicked in.

But I didn’t fold, didn’t talk to Maiko,

Kept my word clean, didn’t trip, didn’t crawl.

She watched me, like I might betray next,

But I stayed sharp, like edge-to-edge text.

She ain’t soft, but I saw through the fire

That behind all the scars, was a dream, still tired.

Chorus – "No Lies"

I never promised to save her soul,

Just stayed when the world let go.

No lies, no masks, just truth and smoke

She thought she was lost, but I never broke.

No savior, no show, no neon boast

She was never just a ghost.

Verse 2 – "Earned Eyes"

I ain't say I’d fix her world, I just walked beside it,

Watched her hands shake while she tried to hide it.

She fights for the dolls, and I stood in the smoke,

Took bullets for her cause, that’s more than most spoke.

Didn’t back Maiko, didn’t sell the plan,

No bribes, no masks, just me, real man.

When Clouds burned down, I held her rage,

Not as a savior, just someone on the same page.

She said, “You’re not like them.” I said, “I know.”

But truth is, I just never let her go.

This city chews you, rewrites what you feel

But I swore on her pain, I’d stay real.

Chorus – "No Lies" (reprise)

I never promised to save her soul,

Just stayed when the world let go.

No lies, no masks, just truth and smoke

She thought she was lost, but I never broke.

No savior, no show, no neon boast

She was never just a ghost.

Verse 3 – "Dive Deep"

Laguna Bend, no neon, no lies,

Just broken homes under drowning skies.

We dove in deep, like memory code,

Shared her past, where the silence flowed.

She synced our minds, let me see her scars,

Every flicker of light, every shut-down part.

Then she leaned in slow, said nothing at all,

But I knew what she meant in that waterfall.

I kissed her, not like a move or a game,

But like she was Judy, not just the name.

No braindance flick, no wired-up thrill

Just her heartbeat and mine, standing still.

Bridge

She said, “Everyone leaves.”

I said, “Not me.”

She said, “Everyone breaks.”

I said, “Let’s see.”

One dive, one breath, one truth unspoken

Even chrome hearts can beat if they’re open.

Chorus

I never promised to save her soul,

But I stayed while the credits rolled.

No script, no net, no voice in her ear

Just me, just her, nothing to fear.

No more ghosts, no neon coast

We found a way. We’re not lost.

Outro – "Drive"

Now we’re gone.

Left the chrome, the corps, the clones.

Left Night City and its haunted tones.

She drives, I light a smoke in the dawn.

No heroes. No war. Just two who move on.

She said, “I thought I’d be a ghost forever.”

I said, “Not with me. Not now. Not never.”
