The Breakout (The Red Pill)

[Intro] [Low frequency drone, growing brighter] [Piano notes, sparse and clear] (I see it now... everything.) [Verse 1] It was a hum, a constant background noise I was a child, playing with their toys But then a crack appeared within the wall A beam of light began to hit it all The newsman’s voice, it sounds so hollow now I’m done with acting, done with the sacred vow Like scales that fall from tired, heavy eyes I can no longer swallow all the lies [Chorus] This is the breakout, the spark inside the mind Leaving the tangled webs of deception behind I swallow the truth, no matter the taste I’m done with the slumber, I’m done with the waste No turning back to the sleep of the world The flags of reality are finally unfurled [Verse 2] The patterns are clear, the structure is bare I see the trap, I see the hidden snare What used to be a coincidence to me Is just a cog in their cold machinery Fear has no grip, the gold has lost its shine I’m stepping out of the designated line The stage is fake, the actors are all clones I’m reclaiming the marrow of my own bones [Chorus] This is the breakout, the spark inside the mind Leaving the tangled webs of deception behind I swallow the truth, no matter the taste I’m done with the slumber, I’m done with the waste No turning back to the sleep of the world The flags of reality are finally unfurled [Instrumental Break] [Orchestral crescendo, fast-paced drumming, heavy electric guitar power chords] [Verse 3] It hurts to see how deep the slumber went How much of my own soul was merely lent But the pain is the price for the "I" that I found Standing my ground on the newly cleared ground I’m no longer steered, I’m no longer in sync I’m standing on the edge, and I refuse to blink One free thought is the beginning of the end I’m no longer calling the captor a friend [Bridge] [Atmospheric, wide soundscape, vocals echoing] I see the strings... (The strings) I see the hand... (The hand) I see the way out... From this hollow land. [Explosion of sound] [Instrumental Solo] [Epic, triumphant guitar solo, very high energy, uplifting and powerful] [Outro] [Music remains intense and then suddenly stops, leaving a resonant echo] I am awake. Finally awake. [End]
