My Chemical Crown (Chainlink Dreamer)

[Verse 1] I am— Mentally ill but better now, medicated, dedicated To the great sedated, normal life, normal things, Clockwork grin, punch card sin, filing in—no divine right, no wolf’s bite [Chorus] (Out of line) Outline, outlandish, out of time (Breaking free) Chainlink snapping, I’m collapsing, self-contracting (Are we complicit?) Buy in, buy out, bow down, stand proud My CHEMICAL CROWN! Tamp it down—tamp it down—tamp it— [Verse 2] No gods, no kings, just tax receipts, Paper-thin beliefs built on concrete streets If I tolerate, then I advocate— Chainlink dreamer, lone escapee [Pre-Chorus] But the world still hums in the back of my brain Whispers of justice, echoes of pain I stood alone, a fracture in the frame Self-substantiating, yet never the same [Chorus] (Out of line) Outline, outlandish, out of time (Breaking free) Chainlink snapping, I’m collapsing, self-contracting (Are we complicit?) Buy in, buy out, bow down, stand proud Chemical crown, tamp it down—tamp it down—tamp it— [Bridge] Nation-state, checkmate, God’s not home Wolf’s head grinning on a car unknown Thought melts into thought, recoil, revolt Hate’s in my heart, but the chemicals choke [Outro] Chainlink breaking, breaking, breaking— Ownlife, ownthought, own fading— Tamped down, tamped down, tamped down— (Am I free?)
