[Intro]
[Crackling Vinyl Static, Distant Wind, Minor-Key Piano, Low Strings]
Roll the tape…
(Primal ape)
Don’t look away…
(It’s your lucky day)
[Verse 1]
It started quiet, too quiet to hear
Like something smiling just out of fear
Fields went still, the sky went gray
As the light forgot how to stay
The fences bent in unnatural ways
Corn stalks whispering forgotten phase
Something moved where nothing should be
Another cut from reality
[Pre-Chorus]
Every shadow learned to crawl
Every silence started to call
And the camera never blinked at all
[Chorus]
You would’ve thought
This was a horror flick
(Some tragedy shtick)
The farm was bought
From some sci-fi creature
(Turned into a feature)
Presentation
(Stranger than fiction)
Caught between fact and hallucination
(Editing distortion)
[Instrumental Break – Dissonant Strings, Broken Piano, Reverse Reverb Hits]
[Verse 2]
The soil remembers what was before
Something knocking beneath the floor
Harvest grows in a different shape
Our reality can’t escape
Lights flicker in a scripted frame
But nobody called the name
Actors frozen mid-line read
As the scene begins to bleed
[Pre-Chorus]
The script rewrites itself in fear
Every ending drawing near
But the beginning isn’t clear
[Chorus]
You would’ve thought
This was a horror flick
(Some tragedy shtick)
The farm was bought
From some sci-fi creature
(Turned into a feature)
Set design
(Stranger than fiction)
Blurring lines of space and time
(Through glitchy prediction)
[Bridge – Whispered Vocals, Sparse Piano, Low Drone]
Cut…
Don’t cut…
It’s still rolling…
Or is it not…?
The audience is in the frame
But nobody called their name
[Instrumental Build – Rising Strings, Heavy Percussion, Distorted Synth Swell]
[Final Chorus – Full Cinematic Power]
You would’ve thought
This was a horror flick
(Some tragedy shtick)
The farm was bought
From some sci-fi creature
(Turned into a feature)
Projection
(Stranger than fiction)
Reality in disconnection
(Looped repetition)
Final section
(No clear distinction)
Just a fading transmission
[Outro]
[Slow Tape Wobble, Wind, Distant Creaking Barn Door]
The screen goes black…
(Darkness attack)
But it’s still rolling somewhere…
(Where?)
Still rolling…
(Rolling, rolling, rolling)
