[Verse 1 – (Glitchy textures, soft synth pad, no beat yet)] Wake up, same code, same lines Pixels flicker behind my eyes I move but it don't feel real Like I'm stuck inside a spinning wheel [Verse 2 – (Digital ambience grows, distant kick pulses)] Every face just blurs together Every day's another copy I'm screaming underneath the silence But nobody can fucking stop me Maybe I'm the broken signal Maybe I'm the missing piece Or maybe I'm just another number Waiting for this loop to cease [Bridge – (Filtered synths, robotic whispers)] I keep reaching for something real But everything slips through my hands [Pre-Chorus – (Light 808s + ambient FX enter)] Everyone's smiling like they've rehearsed Is this a dream or a universe? [Chorus – (Beat drops, wide synths, vocal reverb)] Is this real or simulation? Am I more than imitation? Every word feels pre-designed Like I'm reading from someone else's mind If this is fate or just illusion I'm still chasing some conclusion In this coded repetition Am I living... or just a system? [Post-Chorus – (Glitch vocal chops)] Loading... loading... Searching for a heartbeat Loading... loading... Somebody find me [Bridge – (Beat cuts, ambient pad)] If somebody wrote my story Can they hear me changing it? [Verse 3 – (Driving drums, distorted bass)] Every answer splits in two Every road loops back to you Static crawling through my veins Nothing ever fucking changes Mirror says I'm still alive But I don't know if that's enough If this world was built to break me Then why can't I wake up? [Verse 4 – (Heavy guitars join, layered synths)] Every heartbeat skips a frame Like somebody paused my name Every memory feels borrowed Every tomorrow looks the same I keep chasing something honest Some kind of proof I'm more than code But every door I force wide open Just becomes another load [Build Up – (Risers, glitch stutters, drums building)] Tell me this is more than numbers Tell me this is more than fate Tell me someone out there hears me Before it's fucking too late I'm done pretending everything's alright Done acting like I don't care If this world was made to trap me Then I'm breaking out of here [Beat Drop – (Massive synths, metal guitars, double kicks)] IS THIS REAL OR SIMULATION? RIP THE WIRES FROM MY SKIN IF THIS LIFE WAS FUCKING PROGRAMMED THEN I'LL REWRITE IT FROM WITHIN I'M NOT LIVING FOR THE SYSTEM I'M NOT JUST ANOTHER NAME IF I'M GLITCHING, LET ME GLITCH I'D RATHER BREAK THAN STAY THE SAME [Verse 5 – (Beat strips back, emotional synth lead)] Maybe fear is part of living Maybe scars prove something's real Maybe all these broken questions Are exactly how we heal If I fall outside the pattern If I lose what I once knew Maybe that's the first damn moment I become somebody new [Verse 6 – (Hopeful progression, full band)] So I'll keep pushing through the static Keep fighting through the noise Keep believing somewhere out there There's still a fucking choice Maybe I was never trapped here Maybe I just feared the door Now I'm done waiting for permission I'm not waiting anymore [Bridge – (Drop beat, ambient synth, robotic vocal FX)] What if we're all just lines of code Waiting for someone to load? [Pre-Chorus – (Low filter vocal effect)] Fake lights, real pain What's the point when it feels the same? [Chorus – (Repeat with harmonies)] Is this real or simulation? Am I more than imitation? Every word feels pre-designed Like I'm reading from someone else's mind If this is fate or just illusion I'm still chasing some conclusion In this coded repetition Am I living... or just a system? [Post-Chorus – (Wide harmonies, glitch echoes)] Loading... loading... Searching for a heartbeat Loading... loading... Maybe I'm finally free [Bridge – (Drop beat, ambient synth, robotic vocal FX)] Maybe I was never broken Maybe I just wasn't awake [Outro – (Fade with glitch sounds and soft hum)] Is this the end... Or the first real moment I've ever had? The static fades... The screen goes dark... And for the first time... I choose who I am.
