[Verse 1] I woke up coded in the cold gray rain Memories loading through a cracked-back brain Every prayer felt like a login screen Every old dream had a machine in between We called it life, but the seams were clear Same sky looped with a borrowed fear Same door, same floor, same tired name Same red pulse under the numbness came Then I saw it flash in the corner of sight Tiny little glitch in the edge of the night A thread in the wall, a hum in the bone Like somebody left us all on loan We were not born, we were dropped in deep Souls in a vault, still half asleep Earth was dust, but the grid still grew And the program held what it outlived through [Chorus] We found the wires We found the wires Pull one line, whole world fires We found the wires We found the wires Truth came down like a blade of lightning [Verse 2] We traced that glow through the concrete skin Under the streets where the pale roots spin Behind every mirror, behind every grin A silver vein where the pulse walked in City blocks froze when we cut that seam Screen went black in the middle of a scream Then the dead old stars started bleeding code And the fake sun cracked on its painted road Every face we knew lit up from within Like a million ghosts in a wired-up skin Some cried out loud, some laughed so hard Some tore at the night like a deck of cards I saw my mother in the static bloom Saw my first goodbye in a server room She said, "Now choose what you are, not what you were" Then the sky fell open with a violent blur [Chorus] We found the wires We found the wires Pull one line, whole world fires We found the wires We found the wires Truth came down like a blade of lightning [Bridge] And if the code wants me, let it come I was made from ash and a broken drum I won’t kneel to the ghost in the glass Won’t stay asleep while the false years pass Cut the feed Hear the scream Soul gets loud when it leaves the screen [Chorus] We found the wires We found the wires Pull one line, whole world fires We found the wires We found the wires Truth came down like a blade of lightning
