It started with a single glitch, a tiny spark
Suddenly the night was swallowed by the dark
Networks crashed
All screens went black
In an instant
There's no going back
Flickering the shadows, dance lights that won't glow
Systems down, the clock ticks slow
Everyone
Screens are
Frozen
Step one, tech is down, the world breaks
Step two, scramble fast, high the stakes
Step three, this is where it gets tricky
We depend on it all, but now it's iffy
And then
Once we see the chaos grow
Whispered fears, they amplify as servers crash
Calling out for answers in the digital ash
Bytes and code, they've turned to ghosts
Left us searching for the life we need the most
And we wait
Holding on to fading hope
Lights will come back on
So we can cope
