[Verse 1 – Survivor, soft but tight over pulsing beat, male vocals] You smile like you don’t hear the drones You talk like the voices are your own You say this place has saved your soul But I see chains in the system’s glow Every corner’s too clean Every day too still Don’t you feel the hand That turns your will? --- [Verse 2 – Scientist, gentle over shimmering synth, female vocals] You look at peace and only see control You look at order like it’s something cold But I’ve known hunger, I’ve known fear Here I wake, and I breathe clear We earned this calm, we built this dome Why tear it down to die alone? You see a trap—I see a cure Not every cage is insecure --- [Chorus – Both, layered vocals, rising tension, male and female vocals] There’s glass between us, thin and bright We reach, but never hold quite right You see the cracks. I see design. You call it fake—I call it mine There’s glass between us, smooth and clean But nothing’s ever what it seems If love survives, it must decide— Can it breathe where truth can’t hide? --- [Verse 3 – Survivor, more urgent, male vocals] They choose who you love, they choose your role They write your smile and call it soul You think this peace is something kind But no one here gets to decline I didn’t cross the ash to be assigned Didn’t bleed to be redesigned I want you, not your perfect plan The part that questions, breaks, and stands --- [Verse 4 – Scientist, wavering, female vocals] I don’t know why I start to shake When you say the things they told me break But when you speak, I feel the seam Between the system and my dreams They told me love was best when matched That chaos only brings collapse But still I wonder, in the dark… If safety means I miss the spark --- [Chorus – Repeat, bigger, more layered, male and female vocals] There’s glass between us, pane and light We’re inches close but worlds in flight You feel the lie. I see the grace. But maybe both are in this place There’s glass between us, thin and strong But it won’t hold for very long If love is real, it finds a way Through glass… or else it walks away --- [Bridge – ambient noise breaks in, fading drums, just vocals] [Survivor, male vocals] “I don’t want perfect. I want real.” [Scientist, female vocals] “And I… don’t know what I feel.” --- [Final Chorus – half-speed, vulnerable and stripped down, male and female vocals] There’s glass between us… still and wide One of us breaks. One of us hides. But if we fall, or if we fight… I’d rather love with all my sight. --- [Outro – synth crackle, heartbeat, distant mechanical voice whispering:] “Partner compatibility: recalibrating…”
