[Verse 1] I wear your face from the inside A borrowed name beneath the skin The mirror lends me back my outline Then asks which one of us begins A handle turns, the room turns with it The tool becomes a second hand I touch the world through manufactured distance And find myself where I can’t stand [Pre-Chorus] Every instrument changes the witness Every witness changes the room I am the stranger in the interface Learning what a body can become [Chorus] I am oneself as another A signal wearing human clothes I am the alien from tomorrow Arriving through the nerve and code No clean border, no final owner No sacred center left to defend I cross the machine and it crosses me Until the beginning has no end [Verse 2] The future speaks in borrowed accents A cold intelligence in bloom It sends its weather through our fingers And makes a habitat of the wound We built a kinship out of fragments Steel, desire, blood, and breath No promised nature waits behind us No pure escape, no clean death [Pre-Chorus] Every screen returns a different witness Every witness edits what is seen I am the error that becomes a passage Between the flesh and the machine [Chorus] I am oneself as another A signal wearing human clothes I am the alien from tomorrow Arriving through the nerve and code No clean border, no final owner No sacred center left to defend I cross the machine and it crosses me Until the beginning has no end [Bridge] Do not ask me where the human ends Ask what the crossing makes Do not ask which voice is truly mine Ask what the borrowed voice awakes The future is not waiting for us It is wearing what we wear A stranger grows inside the circuit And recognizes us there [Final Chorus] I am oneself as another A signal wearing human clothes I am the alien from tomorrow Arriving through the nerve and code No clean border, no final owner No final shape, no final friend I cross the machine and it crosses me Until the beginning has no end [Outro] Borrowed face, electric weather Open hand, unfinished form If the stranger lives within me I was never born alone
