[Verse 1] I meet myself in borrowed glass A stranger wearing yesterday The hand becomes a tool becomes A hand that turns the world away You showed me how the screen can touch Before the finger knows the name Each instrument remakes the room Each room remakes the shape of flame [Pre-Chorus] I am not one voice inside I am the crossing, side by side [Chorus] One self as another, I enter the frame The machine lends a body, then alters the name An alien from tomorrow is speaking through me Not born from the future—becoming the key [Verse 2] The lens is not a window now It bends the distance into use The circuit answers what I ask Then teaches asking what to choose No clean border, no pure skin No myth of untouched ground The parts we feared would make us less Are where new kinship can be found [Pre-Chorus] I am not whole, I am not two The world comes back reshaped by you [Chorus] One self as another, I enter the frame The machine lends a body, then alters the name An alien from tomorrow is speaking through me Not born from the future—becoming the key [Bridge] Let the old opposites fall apart Nature and circuit, mind and start Woman and weapon, flesh and code No final border bears the load I send my voice through borrowed teeth I take the future underneath If every tool remakes the hand Then every hand remakes the land [Breakdown] Who is looking? Who is seen? What stands between us And the screen? [Final Chorus] One self as another, I enter the frame The machine lends a body, then alters the name An alien from tomorrow is speaking through me Not born from the future—becoming the key [Outro] I meet myself where others begin A borrowed shape, a changing skin The future does not wait outside It learns my face from the inside
