[INTRO] (Cut the feed.) (We’re bored of the signal anyway.) Silence doesn’t break the circuit—it is the circuit. I’m not looking for a way out. I’m just looking for the veins. [VERSE 1] Hands up to a sky that’s bankrupt, waiting for a payout Scrolling past the plastic faces, burning out on the same route I asked for a savior in a limousine, someone to pay the cost But the screen just flickered, and the luxury was lost. Then the pulse kicked in, quiet as a stain on the rug A different kind of buzz. (A different kind of drug.) [PRE-CHORUS] I see the wire. (Gold leash). I feel the ghost. (Timepiece). The system wants me tired, wants me chasing what I hate the most. But I’m wide awake in the hotel room. (Don’t you think it’s boring how people talk?) [CHORUS] It had to be me to crack the code It had to be my blood on the road They call it selfish, they call it vain To wear your own scars like a diamond chain. We don’t care. We’re not caught up in your love affair. This power is UNTOUCHABLE. (We run things). This heart is UNBREAKABLE. (We rule things). (Found the North in the noise). [VERSE 2] Every mirror was a jury, judging the teeth in my smile Sentenced to life for wanting more than the rank and file. “Who do you think you are?” (Dreaming in the dark). “Who do you think you are?” (Trying to leave a mark). I pulled the reflection close, kissed the glass till it fogged Turned the shame into a weapon, got the memory logged. It’s not a tragedy. It’s just alchemy. [BRIDGE] They say we’re too loud when we love our own skin (Let them in). They say we’re too proud when we won’t let them win (Let them in). I’m the one who stays when the party dies down! I’m the one who stays to claim the hollow crown! SO LOVE HAS A POSTCODE TO STAY. (And we’ll never go home). [OUTRO] It had to be me. (Just for the thrill of it). I found the coordinates. (Killing it). Facing North. (We know better). Silence.
