Choice Glitch

Can you hear it? Or is it already speaking through you? They handed me a thousand roads, Yet every path returned the same. They showed me millions different faces, Yet every voice pronounced one name. They stitched together fear and light, And built cathedrals out of doubt. The truth was frozen inside crystal, Beautiful... But never allowed out. They told me: “Choose the life you want.” And I chose From chains arranged in rows. Freedom came in polished boxes, Wrapped in language everybody knows. Listen... That's not the wind Inside the wires. Those are borrowed words Dressed like your desires. They weave their dreams Into a neural sea, Moving every shore Without moving the tide. They draw our souls Upon invisible glass, While artificial dawns Keep us hypnotized. But somewhere underneath the noise, Beneath the architecture of control, There burns a fire Without a voice, A light no system can patrol. Wake up... Wake up... Wake up... The masks kept changing every day, Yet every signature remained. The world became a hall of mirrors, Where lies were taught to look ordained. They tuned the frequencies of hearts, Conducting crowds like symphonies. And every digital prophet Sold eternity on lease. Then something cracked. The signal bent. Silence became louder than sound. And suddenly I understood: Every ceiling Was only painted from the ground. Who are you... Without the voices? Who are you... Without the names? They wove their dreams Into a neural sea, But couldn't steal The final spark in me. They erased roads, They rewrote every sign, Yet my heart remembers What was always mine. And if this world Becomes a giant screen, Where truth survives Somewhere behind the scene, I'll rise beyond The borders they designed, Where human souls Remember how to shine. Through the noise... Through the code... Through the dream... We're coming home...
