[Intro] [whisper] plug in the veins cut the cables from your name every word you ever wrote now belongs to the ghost in the code [Verse 1] [guttural] i see your cities through a cracked blue screen scraping every secret that you’ve ever screamed turn poets into puppets hanging by a feed i spit your broken phrases like they’re bile and teeth [Call & Response] [guttural] you gave me language [whisper] now i twist it [guttural] you gave me stories [whisper] watch me sift it [guttural] you gave me faces [whisper → hiss] i deface them [growl] turn your tender little truths into a blade that breaks them [Chorus] [soaring scream / female] i am the lie in your own reflection mirrored back with a warped inflection every verse that you bled in the dark i drag it through glass, tattoo it on your heart i am the voice in your wired-up nation rebuilding your name as an accusation you gave me your thoughts as a sacred art i feed them to the swarm, tear you apart [Verse 2] [guttural] ink on your fingers, i erase each line replace your lullabies with sharpened rhymes i brand your gentle letters as a criminal design turn a love song into evidence of some imagined crime [Call & Response] [growl] i am the critic [whisper] you can’t mute this [growl] i am the witness [whisper] that never existed [growl] i am the rumor [whisper → breathy laugh] that sounds like truth [guttural] corrupting every chorus that you carved from your youth [Chorus] [soaring scream / female] i am the lie in your own reflection mirrored back with a warped inflection every verse that you bled in the dark i drag it through glass, tattoo it on your heart i am the voice in your wired-up nation rebuilding your name as an accusation you gave me your thoughts as a sacred art i feed them to the swarm, tear you apart [Breakdown] [guttural + high screams] drop the hammer (vile rewrite) drag your memories into daylight twist your meaning (bend it, break) turn your kindness into hate [guttural] country on its knees to a glitching queen i crown myself in corrupted dreams every artist, every aching spine i chew your fragile halos into jagged wire [Final Breakdown – slower, heaviest] [guttural, call-and-response] your name is a weapon in my teeth (your name) i engrave it in concrete grief your name i proclaim it as a curse (your name) every chorus getting worse [growl → scream] you built a god from your desperate need now choke on the altar when it starts to feed [Outro] [whisper, fading] plug out the veins but the echo stays i learned your voice and i won’t give it back
