OBSERVER EFFECT from GHOSTS & VEILS by DYSTOPIUM

[Verse 1]
red light blinking in the back of my mind,
footsteps echo but no one's behind.
files erased, but I wrote them down,
why does the city keep changing around?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
the tape rewinds, the story shifts,
faces blur and names don’t fit.
i swear i saw a man last night—
but now he’s gone, like he never had life.

[Chorus]
who’s watching me?
who rewrites the past?
if they can change what’s real,
how long can i last?

[Verse 2]
whispers in a static feed,
a voice i know, but it’s not me.
my badge still scans, my name’s still mine,
but something’s missing—just out of sight.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
the cameras blink, the system lags,
records shift inside the tags.
the city sleeps, the city breathes,
but something’s pulling at the seams.

[Chorus]
who’s watching me?
who rewrites the past?
if they can change what’s real,
how long can i last?

[Bridge]
blackouts, reroutes, missing time,
a case unsolved but the clues don’t align.
if i disappear, will i even know?
or will i wake up as someone they wrote?

[BREAKDOWN]

[Final Chorus]
who’s watching me?
who rewrites the past?
if they can change what’s real,
how long can i last?
