3. Glass Nation

[Cold synth pulse intro] [Mechanical drum loop enters] [Verse 1 – restrained, almost spoken] Every screen is wide awake Watching every move we make Polished smiles and scripted pain Streaming through the glass again Eyes above and eyes below Every secret on a show Truth dissolves inside the feed Fear becomes the thing we need [Pre-Chorus – tension building] Every whisper archived Every failure saved Every thought predicted Every instinct trained [Chorus – heavy but controlled] Welcome to the glass nation Everything is seen Nothing ever hidden Nothing ever clean Welcome to the glass nation Every life displayed Watchers watching watchers Every soul surveilled [Instrumental – distorted synth + mechanical percussion] [Verse 2 – darker tone] Numbers climbing on the wall No one questions who they call History edited in place Memory rewritten face to face Speak too loud, they mark your name Speak too soft, it's still the same Every channel broadcasting calm While the world burns off the frame [Bridge – quiet paranoia] [Whispered] Look above you Look below Everywhere the cameras glow [Drums explode back in] [Final Chorus – larger] Welcome to the glass nation Every breath recorded Every thought rewarded Every lie supported Welcome to the glass nation Stand beneath the light Watchers watching watchers Every day and night [Outro – synth decay]
