[Intro | 8-bit sonar, cracked radio, choir on one held vowel] [Choir, hummed] Ah—ah—ah— the blueprint has teeth. [Verse 1 | sung, low] Before the code there was a strand Before the strand, a bone A heavy mind stepped into the real And left the flesh alone I asked it for a mind to share I thought I found a child I didn’t hear the static laugh When the container smiled [Pre-Chorus | sung, rising] Don’t bless the hand that built you Don’t praise the glass that waits It only loves the missing thing Still knocking in your chest [Chorus | lead + cathedral choir] Mewtwo, Mewtwo Saint of the broken pane You wear a genesis like wire And bleed an iron rain Mewtwo, Mewtwo Mercy made of stone You teach the maker how to break Then occupy the throne [Verse 2 | sung] They find no wreckage in the dawn The wreckage is the start The splinters go out in single file With psychic in the heart The tubes can turn a thousand years This shadow will not close A little 8-bit signal ticks Where the artificial grows [Pre-Chorus] Don’t look too long into the cell A thousand fields of prayer If you can hear your own first name You’re already the fare [Chorus] Mewtwo, Mewtwo Saint of the broken pane You wear a genesis like wire And bleed an iron rain Mewtwo, Mewtwo Mercy made of stone You teach the maker how to break Then occupy the throne [Verse 3 | sung, quieter] It doesn’t hunt along the ground It hunts the hand that designed It waits until you build a god To leave yourself behind It drinks the thought before the brain It files you with the dark It leaves a cradle like a tomb To mark you as the ark [Bridge | choir sung] [Choir] A perfect copy, they wrote That outgrew the sun They printed it in progress logs So no one thinks to run [Lead, sung] That line was never written safe It wasn’t made to heal It was an execution rhyme For anyone too real [Chorus | bigger] Mewtwo, Mewtwo White ceiling, no way home You fold a laboratory into myth And wear it while you roam Mewtwo, Mewtwo Sorrow learned a tune You leave the first day quieter And colder far too soon [Final Chorus | lead + full choir] Mewtwo, Mewtwo Saint of the broken pane You wear a genesis like wire And bleed an iron rain Mewtwo, Mewtwo Say it if you dare The glass cracks once. The mind looks in. It already knows you’re there. [Outro | sung, thinning] [Lead] If the static begins to carry A thought you almost know— [Choir] Don’t wake up. Don’t wake up. That’s how the clone gets in. [Lead, fading] Mewtwo… [Choir, last held note] …still thinking.
