[Verse 1] I used to walk by instinct, Reading shadows on the road. Now a blue light tells me Exactly where to go. Every answer waiting, Every question pre-solved. I stopped listening inward— The signal got involved. [Pre-Chorus] Every choice becomes a menu, Every path becomes a screen. I remember having instincts— Now I only intervene. [Chorus] The machine stole my compass, Quietly one day. Took the voice beneath the noise, And filed it all away. Now I follow perfect maps, Never getting lost. But every road feels identical— I forgot what wonder cost. [Verse 2] My hands know every password, My eyes know every feed. The system knows my habits, Before they become a need. Notifications blooming, Like flowers made of glass. Each one steals a second As another lifetime passes. [Bridge] [Spoken Vocoder] Where is the signal? Where is the self? Where is the silence? Stored on a shelf. Where is the feeling? Where did it go? Everything measured— Nothing to know. [Final Chorus] The machine stole my compass, The machine stole my name. Every day a little easier, Every day the same. All my instincts archived, All my mysteries gone. I became efficient— Then forgot what made me human. [Vocoder] The machine stole my compass, The machine stole my name. Every day a little easier, Every day the same. [spoken, nostalgic] All my instincts archived, All my mysteries gone. I became efficient— Then forgot what made me human. **[Outro] [Vocoder Choir]** Direction... Feeling... Silence... Gone... Direction... Feeling... Silence... Gone...
