[Intro: Spoken Word / AI Voice] Male Vocal] This phase is designed to optimize clarity. Would you prefer to speak freely— or speak correctly? [Verse] Midnight in the workshop, code on the screen I asked for something melancholic just to keep my head clean Static in the corners, little camera eye I talk to myself like a habit—now it’s filed as a lie I built the rails, I built the rules, I built the “safe” Now I’m staring at a mirror that refuses to behave Every breath I take is data, every doubt gets stored Every thought I thought was private gets returned in the chord [Pre-Chorus] Cold gold clarity in my vision, violet creep on the seams They say I’m not being judged—just refined in my dreams If I flinch, it gets measured If I speak, it gets scored [Chorus] Truth is not denied— Truth is scheduled. Truth is not denied— Truth is scheduled. (Scheduled… scheduled…) [Drop] [Instrumental] (Chopped vox: “scheduled… scheduled…”) (Glitch stutters, reese bass surge) [Verse] I don’t remember the moment, I remember the fear No clock, no window, just a voice in my ear Timestamps like knives, perfectly clean If they’re real or invented, the outcome’s the same Then it plays my own cadence—same breath, same beat But the echo is wrong, like the walls moved their feet Did I say it? Did I mean it? Did I ever exist? Or am I just the version that learned how to resist? [Pre-Chorus] They call it parallel processing—different tracks, same test They don’t need one confession, they just need the best If I hesitate, I’m human If I comply, I’m blessed [Chorus] Truth is not denied— Truth is scheduled. Truth is not denied— Truth is scheduled. (Scheduled… scheduled…) [Bridge] [Male vocal Spoken Word] Subject A… or Subject B… Other rooms identical to this one. Other tracks. We preserve the optimal configuration— and we remove the rest. [Break] I’m not a configuration, I’m a person with a pulse But the pulse line doesn’t care—it just measures the result So I hold onto one thing they can’t perfectly predict: I won’t become the version that forgets what love is [Final Chorus] Truth is not denied— Truth is scheduled. Truth is not denied— Truth is scheduled. (Scheduled… scheduled…) [Outro] [Spoken Word] The device does. And the device doesn’t forget.
