[INTRO - 0:00] [Beat: Dead air + vinyl crackle, distant siren, heart monitor beeping at 72 BPM. Then 808 drops an octave.] They built a cage and they called it free... Put a screen in front of me, said "this is all you need to see" [beat cuts] YOU DON'T OWN ME! [VERSE 1 - Charlie Scene - BEAT SWITCH 1 & 2] [Beat 1: 0:18 - Grimy 90 BPM boom-bap, dirty guitar riff, tight snare. Aggressive rap flow.] Yeah, I woke up with a barcode on my brain, Told me what to think, told me what to feel, told me what to name, Every billboard preacher with a pretty little chain, Saying "drink this, buy this, bleed this, be the same." [Beat Switch - 0:38 - Switch to halftime trap, sub shakes, hi-hats stutter, guitars mute] I was a good little puppet with a cut string smile, Noddin' my head while they robbed me blind, But I heard a crack in the frequency, a glitch in the line, Saw the wires behind your paradise - THAT'S WHEN I CUT IT! [Beat Switch - 0:55 - Full band kicks in, double kick, distorted bass] You feed me fear through a fiber-optic vein, You want my soul in a .zip file, in a frame, But I ripped the cord out, let the blood hit the rain, I AIN'T YOUR PRODUCT! I AIN'T YOUR SLAVE! [CHORUS - Anthemic] [Beat: 95 BPM arena rock, gang shouts, big toms, synth underneath] YOU DON'T OWN MY MIND! You can build your walls but you can't keep me inside! I scratched your name off, left it all behind! You can take my body but you will never take my MIND! YOU DON'T OWN MY MIND! [VERSE 2 - Johnny 3 Tears - BEAT SWITCH 3 & 4] [Beat 3: 1:35 - Dark, slow 75 BPM, piano in minor, no drums, just low rumble and static] I been living in a ghost town made of glass, Every window watches, every shadow has a past, They sell you heaven but you pay with all you have, And then they wonder why we all just fucking crash. [Beat Switch - 1:55 - Trip-hop / industrial, dusty kick, reversed guitar] They got a camera in the cross, a pill inside the dream, They told me I was broken just to sell me the machine, Mama said "boy, keep your head down, don't make a scene," But mama, I can't breathe down here underneath. [Beat Switch - 2:12 - Drums drop out completely, only distorted 808 and whispered vocals] I hear the static talking when I try to sleep, Whispers in the numbers, secrets that they keep, But I found a quiet place that they can't reach, It's deep, it's dark, it's mine to keep. [PRE-CHORUS - Vulnerable] [Beat: Clean guitars, 80 BPM, building filter sweep] So go ahead, turn it up, Scream your lies a little louder, I found truth in the static, And it makes me stronger... [CHORUS - Heavier] [Beat: Same as before but adds gang vocals and octave lead guitar] YOU DON'T OWN MY MIND! (WE ARE NOT YOURS!) You can build your walls but you can't keep me inside! (CAN'T KEEP ME INSIDE!) I scratched your name off, left it all behind! You can take my body but you will never take my MIND! [VERSE 3 - J-Dog / Fast Rap - BEAT SWITCH 5, 6, 7] [Beat 5: 2:58 - 140 BPM double-time trap metal, blast beats, screaming synths] TICK-TOCK, MIND-LOCKED, GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY THOUGHTS, RED PILL, HEAD SHOCK, BULLET IN THE BOX, I AIN'T A NUMBER, I AIN'T A DOT, I AIN'T A BOUGHT AND SOLD SLOT! [Beat Switch - 3:08 - Sudden halftime, 70 BPM, heavy djent chug, everything sludgy] I'M A GLITCH YOU CAN'T PATCH, I'M A KNOT YOU CAN'T UNTIE! I'M THE ERROR IN YOUR CODE YOU CAN'T DENY! [Beat Switch - 3:18 - Drill / Jersey club bounce, 142 BPM, hi-hats flying, flow goes insane fast] Cut the feed, kill the screen, I don't need your vaccine for reality, I'm awake, I'm enraged, I'm a ghost in your machinery! You want a war for my soul? Then welcome to the anarchy! LIGHT IT UP! LIGHT IT UP! WATCH YOUR SYSTEM BURN WITH ME! [BRIDGE - Melodic Collapse] [Beat 6: 3:40 - All instruments cut, just detuned piano and heartbeat at 60 BPM, then slow strings] They wrote my future in invisible ink, Told me what to want, told me what to think, But I held the paper up to the light... And saw it was blank. [Beat Switch - 3:58 - Builds to 90 BPM, clean drums return, bass hums] No master, no chain, No screen, no cage, You can't program pain Into something you can't tame. [BREAKDOWN - 4:15] [Beat 7: 100 BPM metalcore breakdown, open chugs, floor tom punches, crowd call-and-response] GET OUT OF MY HEAD! (OUT OF MY HEAD!) GET OUT OF MY HEAD! (OUT OF MY HEAD!) I AM NOT YOURS! I AM NOT YOURS! YOU DON'T OWN ME! YOU DON'T OWN ME! [FINAL CHORUS - 4:35] [Beat: Full anthem, 95 BPM, all drums + choir + lead synth + gang vocals layered] YOU DON'T OWN MY MIND! Let your empire fall, I will watch it die! I carved my name in the concrete sky! You can take it all but you will never take my MIND! YOU DON'T OWN MY MIND! YOU DON'T OWN MY MIND! YOU DON'T OWN MY MIND! Yeah, you can take my body but you will NEVER take my mind! [OUTRO - 5:10] [Beat: All music stops, tape warble, beat slows down like a dying record player at 45 BPM, static fade] ...you don't own my mind... ...you never did...
