Dark trap-glitch / alt-dark cinematic intro track. Tempo ~72 BPM. Finger-picked acoustic guitar as emotional anchor, close-mic’d, imperfect. Jeffery Burke vocals raw, dry, intimate, emotionally detached with restrained pain (spoken-sung, no clean pop tone). Massive but muted sub-bass 20–40 Hz used sparingly for pressure, not bounce; distorted weight bass 45–90 Hz enters only in choruses. Steady minimal snare like a metronome, aquatic reversed texture. Add light static, glitch stutters on key words (“offline,” “two”), industrial underwater textures in bridge. Atmosphere numb, dissociated, cold, survivor psychology. No religion, no hope messaging, no romance, no EDM energy. This track must feel like the moment everything stopped but never fully died.

Lyrics

[Finger-picked acoustic, close-mic’d. Sub-bass barely audible like pressure in the room. Static crackle left/right.] I’m not dead… I’m just offline. ⸻ VERSE 1 I wake up tired of waking up Same ceiling, same doubt I don’t feel pain the way I used to I just feel worn out Time keeps moving I stay paused Like my life buffering Mid-thought I scroll through days I don’t remember living I was there But I wasn’t in it [Low bass swell creeps in at the end of the verse] ⸻ PRE-CHORUS I answer questions I don’t hear I nod my head Like I’m still here But if you ask me How I’m doing— I don’t lie I just don’t answer ⸻ CHORUS (LINE + SINKER) LINE: I’m not dead — I’m offline LINE (repeat): I’m not dead — I’m offline SINKER: I don’t feel life, I just survive time LINE (variation): Not dead… just offline [Bass drops heavy but muted, snare steady like a metronome] ⸻ VERSE 2 I start things like I mean it Then I disappear Motivation burns bright Then it’s gone in a year I don’t chase dreams I chase numb I chase anything That shuts me up People say “lock in” Like it’s simple to do But you can’t focus forward When you’re split in two [Glitch stutters on the word “two”] ⸻ PRE-CHORUS 2 I don’t need saving I need space From the version of me I have to face Every mirror Feels hostile Like it knows I’ve been idle ⸻ CHORUS I’m not dead — I’m offline I’m not dead — I’m offline I don’t feel life, I just survive time Not dead… just offline [Add distorted low harmony under last line] ⸻ BREAKDOWN [Beat strips. Only sub-bass pulse + distorted breaths panned wide] I still eat. I still talk. I still move. So don’t ask me Why I say I’m not alive. ⸻ BRIDGE [Industrial texture fades in, metallic, underwater] Maybe this is what happens When you stay in survival too long When “getting through it” Becomes your whole personality I didn’t disappear overnight I faded responsibly ⸻ FINAL CHORUS (quiet → heavy) I’m not dead — I’m offline I’m not dead — I’m offline I don’t feel life, I just survive time Not dead… [Final bass hit] Just offline. ⸻ OUTRO [Acoustic returns alone. Fingers on strings. Room tone.] Track one. This is where it froze.
