[Intro] Ah... Midnight in Tokyo Noise is filling up my mind Someone’s writing out this script for me Come on To the shadow side... let’s go [Verse 1] Zero at midnight, streaming all the fake news feeds Smiling talking heads just selling someone’s creed “Face to the right” in every single timeline Dancing to a puppet plan, the same each night Black suits whisper in the back room, soundless meeting Every inconvenient truth just disappearing What is freedom now? A prison made of codes Breathing through a pane of glass, my vision slows Sweet temptation from a nightmare dressed as dreaming Feeding wants until we’re hooked and keep on needing Price tags saying “happiness” on golden chains Till we lose our very souls, worn down and drained [Pre-Chorus] Still my heartbeat won’t be quiet In this sea of static I won’t drown in silence “Now awaken,” echoes in my chest There’s a flame they cannot kill, burning in my breath [Chorus] Rulers in the shadows Who will dare rewrite tomorrow? Plastic-written fate lines Every path designed to follow Open up your eyes and see what’s real Midnight sirens cut across the steel Hidden domination We won’t let it steer us anymore [Verse 2] Every trending phrase just copies what came last Endless reels of dancers spinning in the glass Selling fear while posing as a noble cause Till we’re trained to move in time with their applause Silent domination slowly creeping closer Holy stories laughing from a glowing poster But we recognize the counterfeit, that sting Instinct born from living in this frozen city Counterfeit affection, counterfeit relief Engineered emotions, patterned disbelief Yet the children’s eyes still carry honest light So we raise our voices through this poisoned night [Bridge] Phantom-coded systems whisper in my ear “Stay in line and never question what is here” Still my spirit will not fade or hide We will tear these chains apart ‘til morning light [Final Chorus] Hidden architecture Burn this world of manufactured lies Handmade, borrowed daydreams Crashing as the masks fall from our eyes Open up your eyes and see what’s real Hear the final warning start to peal Invisible empire Breaking as we run beyond the wire Race into freedom [Outro] Tokyo at midnight... Still the uprising won’t be done From the deepest shadow Steal back every shard of sun (We’re breaking from the dark)
