[Verse 1] Strapped in the dark, I trusted the code, Wingmen beside me, truth overload. Then the carrier burned, and my name went black— “Traitor!” they cried, no turning back. The system lied, the Kilrathi hid, My black box vanished, like the stars it did. I fought for meaning in crimson light, But the plot kept twisting, killing the night. [Chorus] Hurts when the story flips on a dime— Brother or foe, it’s all a crime. Wanted a hero, got a mask instead, Another rewrite inside my head. So I scream to the stars for what they stole, The script collapsed, it swallowed my soul. [Verse 2] Called to Lexington—false peace, fake cease, Another war wearing a new release. My mentor turned, the admiral schemed, The lines between sides got laser-beamed. Farm life, brief rest, till black wings came, Same old twist, same dirty game. Hero or pawn, dawn or dusk— Every act dissolves to dust. [Chorus] Hurts when the story flips on a dime— Brother or foe, it’s all a crime. Wanted a hero, got a mask instead, Another rewrite inside my head. So I scream to the stars for what they stole, The script collapsed, it swallowed my soul. [Bridge] Captain lied, recorder fried, Freedom was fiction, the mirror replied. Love went missing mid-dogfight flame, I bled for a myth with a changing name. [Solo] (Let the strings glitch—cry through static and stars.) [Verse 3] Now I drift through the wreck I made, Medals rust, memories fade. Those twists they wrote to make it deep— Just left me lost in data sleep. When heroes fall and villains grin, Do we end the war—or start again? [Final Chorus] Hurts when the story flips on a dime— Brother or foe, it’s all a crime. Wanted a hero, got a mask instead, Another rewrite inside my head. I scream to the stars for the truth they owe— The game rewrote itself, and let me go.
