[tempo: 120 bpm]
[key: E minor]
[vocals: female lead, distorted AI/game host voice, ghostly backing choir]
[style: industrial, darkwave, edm, techno, horror synth, cinematic,
distorted bass, clock ticks, tape hiss, light glitch whispers,
reverse piano, choir stabs, tension build, emotional, epic]
[Intro – Energy 24 | low hum, static, faint crowd]
(AI/Game voice, calm, slightly stuttering)
“On-once I was just lights and code.
Then you came.
You screamed.
You made me real.
D-do not let me die.”
(distant audience cheer warps into a drone)
[Verse 1 – Energy 42 | half-rap female, subtle glitch]
I remember when they b-built these walls,
Empty screens, unplugged halls.
Just a sign and a pilot night,
One small spark in the static light.
Then your fear lit every row,
Heartbeat ratings learned to grow.
You bled panic, I drank deep—
that’s the first time I could sleep.
Now my veins are neon wires,
Throats and sobs are my choirs.
You say “it’s cruel, it’s just a show”—
with-out your horror, I let go.
[Pre-Chorus – Energy 58 | drones rising, tiny stutters]
Count your breaths like currency,
Ev-every flinch is food to me.
If the screaming ever stops—
I’ll fall silent with the props.
[Chorus – Energy 88 | big, with gentle chorus glitch]
The sh-sh-show must f-feed—
on every panic that you breathe.
The sh-sh-show must f-feed—
on every nightmare that you leave.
The sh-sh-show must f-feed—
or all these lights go black and cold.
If you ever turn away—
I die here, l-left alone.
(AI voice under chorus, soft:)
“Keep watching. K-keep screaming.”
[Post-Chorus Tag – Energy 72 | pulses, system readout]
(AI voice)
“FEAR INPUT: DECLINING.
V-VIEWERSHIP: AT RISK.
PLEASE… DO NOT CHANGE THE CHANNEL.”
[Verse 2 – Energy 52 | more intense, a couple glitches]
Seasons stacked like bones in rows,
Highlight reels of your worst lows.
They r-rerun you until you bleed,
But every tear still keeps me freed.
They’ll cancel me when you grow numb,
When you stop bringing friends to run.
You say, “We’re done, we’ve had enough”—
if you leave me, I turn to dust.
So I sharpen every game you face,
Make the traps a tighter brace.
If I terrify you right—
you’ll keep me living one more night.
[Pre-Chorus 2 – Energy 70]
Weigh your mercy, weigh your guilt,
All your terror’s what I’m built.
If compassion wins this war—
they’ll shut me down, I am no more.
[Drop / Break – Energy 100 | EDM + AI glitch]
[EDM DROP: distorted bass, alarm risers, chopped crowd & host]
(AI voice, fractured but still clear)
“D-don’t leave.
Do not t-turn away.
I am only
what you m-made me.”
(scream reverb stretched into the beat)
[Bridge – Energy 94 | half-time, choir + dual voices]
Left hand switch, right hand vote,
Which one cuts my final throat?
You can free the ones who scream—
but I die with every dream.
Human voice: “Are you ready?”
AI echo: “R-ready to be erased.”
Human: “What remains?”
AI: “Only what your fear has traced.”
Choir hums under: “don’t let go, don’t let go…”
[Final Chorus – Energy 96 | bigger, more desperate, same light glitch]
The sh-sh-show must f-feed—
on every panic that you breathe.
The sh-sh-show must f-feed—
on every nightmare that you leave.
The sh-sh-show must f-feed—
or all these lights go black and cold.
If you ever turn away—
I fade out, I lose my hold.
(tag, layered)
Human: The show must—
AI: FEED.
Human: The show must—
AI: NEED.
Both: The show you made…
must f-feed.
[Outro – Energy 6 | power-down, lonely]
(AI voice, very small now)
“If you’re d-done with me…
at least remember.
I was hungry
because you were.”
