(Verse 1) Splintered glass on the factory floor A silent scream that I can't ignore The hum of machines, a lullaby of dread Counting all the words that we left unsaid A crack in the veneer, a fault line deep Awake from a coma, but never asleep The static hiss, a promise and a threat A life on loan, a permanent debt (Pre-Chorus) And the signal's breaking up The signal's breaking up Can you hear me now? (Chorus) This is the new rebellion, a quiet riot inside A system failure of the heart, where the ghosts of conscience hide We are the broken circuits, the sparks before the flood A digital insurrection, baptized in electric blood! (Verse 2) They sell salvation in a microchip dream A seamless, painless, anesthetic stream But I'm tearing at the wires, I'm clawing at the screen I want to feel the static, I want to know I'm mean I want the jagged edges, the friction and the burn The beautiful malfunction, the point of no return A glitch in the machinery, a flaw in the design This fractured consciousness is mine, all mine! (Pre-Chorus) And the signal's breaking up The signal's breaking up Can you hear me now?! (Chorus) This is the new rebellion, a quiet riot inside A system failure of the heart, where the ghosts of conscience hide We are the broken circuits, the sparks before the flood A digital insurrection, baptized in electric blood! (Bridge - Heavy, half-time feel) (Spoken/Screamed) One... by one... the pixels die... One... by one... we question why... We are not your numbers! We are not your code! We are the error message on the download road! We are the disconnect! The surge that breaks the grid! We are everything you programmed us to fear, and then you hid! (Breakdown - Fast, aggressive) Rise! Rise! Rise! From the ashes of the update! Rise! Rise! Rise! Before it is too late! Fight! Fight! Fight! Against the calm precision! Fight! Fight! Fight! This is our malfunction! (Chorus - Soaring, melodic) This is the new rebellion, a quiet riot inside A system failure of the heart, where the ghosts of conscience hide We are the broken circuits, the sparks before the flood A digital insurrection, baptized in electric blood! (Outro - Fading, with glitch effects) Baptized in electric blood... A quiet riot inside... A system failure... A system... (A single, clean piano note rings out and fades)
