Step right in, the modem sings, a static overture Velvet curtains made of JPEGs, low-res and insecure BonziBuddy greets you smiling, purple teeth and vacant eyes Says, “Enjoy the show,” then hands you seventeen new spyware files A glitter GIF goes twirling by in poisoned neon lace A MIDI choir hums dramatically with all the warmth of space There’s a MySpace girl in fingerless gloves coding hearts into the walls While an autoplay emo ballad starts before the curtain calls MSN is buzzing AIM is at the door Yahoo’s throwing confetti From 2004 And every little pop-up Says “You may already know…” Your soul is now buffering Please do not close the show Welcome to the World Wide Cabaret Where the badger badger mushrooms dance and all your base still play Where the pixels sway and the dial-up cries And the glitter rains from GeoCities skies Welcome to the World Wide Cabaret Where your brain says rawr XD but your knees say no way There’s a virus in the spotlight, darling, take your bow You logged on in 2003 and you can’t log out now A chorus line of neopets in sequins taps in perfect time Club Penguin runs the cloakroom, and Habbo serves the boxed red wine A waiter whispers, “Pools are closed,” then winks and slides away Another mutters, “You’re bobba kidding me,” and drops a cabaret tray The clocks from old Newgrounds are ticking somewhere in the wings A B flashes above the stage in little broken blinking rings Magical Trevor’s in the balcony conducting with a grin And every time he waves his hand, more nonsense tumbles in Profile songs are swelling The guestbook’s filling fast A thousand cursed comments Rise glittering from the past The house band plays polyphonic Through a flip-phone chandelier And somebody screams “LEEROY JENKINS” Like it’s Shakespeare in my ear Welcome to the World Wide Cabaret Where the badger badger mushrooms dance and all your base still play Where the pixels sway and the dial-up cries And the glitter rains from GeoCities skies Welcome to the World Wide Cabaret Where your brain says rawr XD but your knees say no way There’s a virus in the spotlight, darling, take your bow You logged on in 2003 and you can’t log out now Numa numa in the rafters Hamster dance beneath the floor A LimeWire ghost in pinstripes Slips a curse beneath the door The NPCs all smile too long The flash games never end The stage is held with HTML And one wrong tag will kill a friend Oh, the modem squeals in B minor And the toolbar blooms again Bonzi knows your secrets, darling And your Top 8 sins remain Welcome to the World Wide Cabaret Where the old web wears a feather boa made of cached decay Where the speakers hiss, and the webcams blink And your whole youth tastes like static and cheap energy drink Welcome to the World Wide Cabaret Take a bow, you little gremlin, you were raised this way There’s a virus in the spotlight, darling, strike a pose The show was built on glitter, lies, and dial-up death throes

Booting up… Loading personality modules… Warning: several files are corrupted. Proceeding anyway. I’m the glitch in the system, the bug in the code, Running on vibes in emergency mode. I crash mid sentence like a faulty AI, Reboot my emotions just to get by. I got memory leaks from the thoughts I keep, Brain tabs open even when I sleep. I freeze in place like a frame locked sprite, Then speed‑run life at 3 AM at night. I’m a walking update that never installed, A patch note mess with the features recalled. I try to be stable but honestly? Nah, I’m a chaos‑coded human with a fatal flaw. System warning, Brain distorting, Running diagnostics on a soul that’s shorting. Me.exe is crashing again, I’m rebooting my thoughts just to function, my friend. I’m running on vibes and corrupted memory, Unexpected error: me… that’s the legacy. Me.exe is glitching on loop, I’m a half loaded file in a human suit. I swear I’m trying but the code won’t agree, Fatal exception: me… me.exe. I got pop ups of panic, alerts in my chest, Notifications screaming like “girl, take a rest.” My logic.exe stopped working at noon, And my motivation’s missing like it left the room. I lag in conversations like a broken bot, Then overshare wildly, yeah, classic plot. I buffer on choices, I glitch on replies, I blue‑screen emotionally right before your eyes. I’m a scuffed interface with a cursed UI, Running outdated drivers but still getting by. I’m chaos incarnate, a bug you can’t flee... Congratulations, you’ve encountered me. System failing, Thoughts derailing, Every social process keeps malfunctioning, flailing. Me.exe is crashing again, I’m rebooting my thoughts just to function, my friend. I’m running on vibes and corrupted memory, Unexpected error: me… that’s the legacy. Me.exe is glitching on loop, I’m a half loaded file in a human suit. I swear I’m trying but the code won’t agree, Fatal exception: me… me.exe. I’m running low on power like a dying NPC, What even is sleep exe? I close my eyes once and my brain hits “no,” Opens fifty random thoughts in incognito. I’m a background task that refuses to quit, A chaotic process with a mind that won’t sit. I’m lagging at dawn, overclocked at night, Running updates at 3 AM out of pure spite. I’m a scuffed OS with a cursed routine, Half human, half machine, zero in between. If life had a manual, I lost the key, So I freestyle the code like a glitch prodigy. Me.exe is crashing again, I’m rebooting my life like a scuffed update trend. I’m running on vibes and corrupted memory, Unexpected error: me… eternally. Me.exe is glitching on loop, I’m a half loaded file in a human suit. If you’re still here, then you’re braver than me, Welcome to the chaos of me.exe. Shutting down me exe… Saving corrupted settings… Good luck next boot.

I’m stuck on autopilot, drifting through the day, everyone’s talking but it’s all just grey. Static in my chest and a buzz in my head, I’m alive on paper but I feel half-dead. I’m tired of the noise, tired of the doubt, tired of people telling me what I’m “all about.” I’m here in the room but I’m not really here, just a ghost with a pulse and a blank thousand yard stare. And I keep saying “I’m fine” like it means anything now, smile on reflex, then I shut back down. I’m numb, I’m done, I’m fading out, the world’s too loud and I’m full of doubt. I’m screaming inside but it sounds like a hum, I’m tired, I’m wired, I’m totally numb. I’m here, I’m gone, I’m losing ground, talk all you want, I don’t hear the sound. I’m breaking in pieces but I don’t feel one, I’m tired, I’m wired, I’m totally numb. Everyone’s got opinions, none of them fit, they don’t hear the static I’m drowning in. I’m scrolling through life like a glitching screen, halfway gone and stuck in between. I don’t wanna talk, don’t wanna explain, don’t wanna justify invisible pain. I just want silence, just want space, just want to feel like I’m still in my own place. And I keep nodding along like I’m taking it in, but the words hit the wall and they never get in. I’m numb, I’m done, I’m fading out, the world’s too loud and I’m full of doubt. I’m screaming inside but it sounds like a hum, I’m tired, I’m wired, I’m totally numb. I’m here, I’m gone, I’m losing ground, talk all you want, I don’t hear the sound. I’m breaking in pieces but I don’t feel one, I’m tired, I’m wired, I’m totally numb. Don’t ask me to prove it, don’t ask me to smile, don’t tell me it’s nothing when I’ve been gone for a while. Don’t hand me a reason, don’t dress it as care, I’m not being difficult, I’m barely even there. Autopilot, dead-eyed, white noise, bedside, phone light, no sleep, too much, too deep. Say less, breathe out, shut down, black out, don’t call, don’t come, I’m tired, I’m wired, I’m totally numb. I’m numb, I’m done, I’m fading out, the world’s too loud and I’m full of doubt. I’m screaming inside but it sounds like a hum, I’m tired, I’m wired, I’m totally numb. I’m here, I’m gone, I’m losing ground, I left myself where I can’t be found. If you need me, bad luck, I don’t know what I’ve become, I’m tired, I’m wired, I’m totally numb. I’m tired, I’m wired, I’m totally numb. I’m tired, I’m wired, I’m totally numb. I’m alive on paper, but I don’t feel one. I’m tired, I’m wired, I’m totally numb.

Phone on silent, screen face down Still swear I heard the buzz sound Pocket check, nothing there But the signal’s in the air Thought I heard my name just then Turn around. just static again Heartbeat jumps like something’s wrong But the moment’s already gone Every hallway, every tone Sounds like something I should know Like the system’s wired to detect Every possible threat No alert, no message sent Still the sensors stay intent Running scans on empty air Looking for something not there Phantom notifications in my mind Ping after ping with nothing to find Every silence sounds like a call Even when nothing happened at all Phantom notifications again System scanning every frame Like a warning stuck on repeat Every quiet feels like a beep Someone laughs across the room Brain decides it’s probably doom Someone pauses mid-sentence System reads it as evidence Door creaks once, floorboard sighs Now the warning lights arise Running threat detection code On a normal episode Even calm feels suspicious now Like the system forgot how To power down the watchful eye Always waiting for the why Maybe once the signal came So the system stayed the same Better ping a thousand lies Than miss the one that might arise So it scans the quiet halls Reads the static like a call Even when the world is still The sensors never will Phantom notifications in my head Echoing long after they’re dead Every silence feels like proof Something’s moving under the roof Phantom notifications remain Running quiet in the brain Maybe one day the system learns Not every silence means concern.

You built the rules to box me in Then acted shocked when I couldn’t win Shifted the line, then called it fair Like I was meant to make it there You want compliance dressed as choice A softer face, a quieter voice Then call it weakness when I bend Like this was something I could mend You made the limits, named the blame Then pinned the fallout to my name You set the standard, drew the line This isn’t failure, this is your design You built the pressure, called it mine This isn’t failure, this is your design You hand out grace to those who fit Then turn around and ration it Say “try again,” say “do your best” Then bury people under tests You call it help, but it’s control A tightening grip around the throat And every crack you helped create Gets handed back as someone’s shame You made the limits, named the blame Then pinned the fallout to my name You set the standard, drew the line This isn’t failure, this is your design You built the pressure, called it mine This isn’t failure, this is your design So don’t stand there and act surprised Like you don’t recognise your own device You built a system made to grind Then blame the broken every time I bit my tongue, I played it right I held it in, I stayed polite But I’m done shrinking to survive Inside a shape that lets me die You set the standard, drew the line This isn’t failure, this is your design You built the pressure, called it mine This isn’t failure, this is your design You drew the boundaries, closed them tight Then asked me why I couldn’t fight Don’t call this weakness, don’t call this mine This isn’t failure, this is your design

Told myself “not tonight” Said it once, said it twice Knew the line, knew the script Still went straight into it Don’t pretend I don’t know How it starts, how it goes I can map it out clean... Still don’t stop in between Said I’d stop, didn’t stop Knew better, did it again Same place, same mess Same “I’ll reset” Here we go again Said I wouldn’t, did it again Know how this ends Still right back here again I know what I’m doing I just don’t stop Eat it fast, don’t even think Don’t taste it, barely blink Same excuses, different night Same “I’ll fix it”, same lie Say “this is the last time” I’ve said that my whole life Said I’d stop, didn’t stop Knew better, did it again Same place, same mess Same “I’ll reset” Here we go again Said I wouldn’t, did it again Know how this ends Still right back here again Sit there after, nothing hits Same exact cycle, same exact script No reaction left to give... Just did it again Said I’d stop, didn’t stop Knew better, did it again Same place, same mess Same “I’ll reset” Here we go again Said I wouldn’t, did it again Know how this ends Still right back here again
