062 Most Pixels Gone
Lyrics
the picture stayed
but the pixels went missing
one by one
like dust brushed from a screen
entry 1 first light
sharp edges full saturation
it seemed the frame
could hold forever
entry 2048 still running
buffer full no warning flags
years compress
into a handful of rooms
same walls
different shadows
same door
different key
entry 4096 unknown error
the timeline glitches
a skipped frame here
a dropped packet there
called it a chosen road
maybe it was only motion
no pause button
no undo
each year adds drag to the orbit
pulling me inward by degrees
i circle the same sun
but the light arrives delayed
time didn’t move
i did
quiet friction
no brakes engaged
one day
this moment will be a memory
that barely loads
a lowres thumbnail
signal fading to static
i zoom in
blocks
why does the compression feel like mercy
when did lossy become the default
i let the entries stack
never sorted
call the drift my archive
leave it there
leave it there
why does the blur feel kinder than detail
when did fading out become enough
i keep what i can’t recover
call the damage time
call the drift my archive
leave it there
leave it there
the log keeps writing itself
timestamps rounding down
seconds into years
years into outlines
the early entries still glow
the scroll bar keeps shrinking
no dramatic crash
no final entry marked
just gradual fade
just a lowbattery warning
the picture's still there
most pixels gone
still in the frame
watching the missing fill with gray
no final entry
still here
