Canto Ultima - "How Can I (Gareth Creations cover)"

[Intro] [Whispered, filtered vocals] How can I... how can I... [Verse 1] Flickering screens in the dead of night Echoes of choices that stole my light A ghost in the machine of my own design Just following patterns, toeing the line [Pre-Chorus] The static is breaking, a signal comes through A voice in the chaos that sounds like the truth [Chorus] HOW CAN I live a lie? HOW CAN I just let it die? This fire inside me's screaming to break free I'm taking back what's left of me! HOW CAN I just comply? This is my battle cry! The controller's in my hands tonight I'm rewiring my own life! [Verse 2] Delete the old protocols, crash the system's core I'm not who I was, I am something more These self-made chains, I'm learning to break For my own damn future, I'll stay awake [Pre-Chorus] The static is breaking, the signal is clear The person I'm becoming, I refuse to fear [Chorus] HOW CAN I live a lie? HOW CAN I just let it die? This fire inside me's screaming to break free I'm taking back what's left of me! HOW CAN I just comply? This is my battle cry! The controller's in my hands tonight I'm rewiring my own life! [Bridge] I see the path ahead, it's bathed in neon glow The fears I carried heavy, I'm finally letting go... This is my awakening, my genesis, my start I'm listening to the rhythm of my own beating heart! [Guitar Solo] [Breakdown] TAKE! BACK! CONTROL! MY! MIND! MY! SOUL! NO MORE! NO MORE! BREAKING FREE! FROM! THIS! WAR! [Final Chorus] HOW CAN I LIVE A LIE? (YEAH?) HOW CAN I JUST LET IT DIE? (NO MORE!) THIS FIRE INSIDE ME'S SCREAMING TO BREAK FREE! I'VE TAKEN BACK WHAT'S LEFT OF ME! HOW CAN I JUST COMPLY? (NEVER AGAIN!) THIS IS MY BATTLE CRY! (MY BATTLE CRY!) THE CONTROLLER'S IN MY HANDS TONIGHT! I'M REWIRING MY OWN LIFE! [Outro] The controller's in my hands... I rewired my life. Fearless...
