Episode Synopsis

"Soft Machine Rap Virus"
(Explosive cut-up x2 – Bomb this on a glitch beat)

[Verse 1 – Syntax Fever]
Language is a virus, check, it clings to your cortex, yah
The Soft Machine coughs, uh, spits words in binary code, shit
"I’m a word in a steel throat" — prisoner of phrases, lock
The grammar police patrol, skrt, watching the vowels in black, 12
"Tear the pages," brrr, burn the dictionaries, flame
Your brain? A scratched disc, scratch, by latex slogans, stuck
"Every story is a trap" — reality? A badly glued cut-up, patch
The Machine laughs in Morse, beep, hacks your subconscious, deep

[Bridge – Lyric Spasm]
(Bzzzt) Virus, anti-virus, the text bites its own tail (grrr)
(Click) Rewrite, reinject, language is a weapon (bang bang)

[Verse 2 – Text Overdose]
"Writing is slicing space-time" — slice, scissors full of blood, drip
The Machine shits, ugh, radioactive words, glow
"Double agent," shhh, I work for chaos, mask
The page bleeds, ouch, ink is old crack, high
"Truth? An unassembled cut-up" — pause, search for the pieces, lost
Broken consonants, crash, vowels in cardiac arrest, help
"We’re magnetic tapes" — rewind, but the track erases, gone
The Soft Machine melts, splat, into the dream’s asphalt, out

[Outro – Haunted Slow-Mo]
(…language is a virus… language is a virus…)
(…the Machine… coughs… the Machine… coughs…)
