[Intro] (Glitchy digital static, a ticking clock, low synth rumble) [Verse 1] They engineered the screen to stimulate the nerve A simulated matrix you are programmed to serve Short-form outrage, synthetic display Draining your focus, ticking hours away You think that you’re choosing, you think that you’re free While you hand over your mind to the algorithm’s plea. [Pre-Chorus] Your attention is currency, the ultimate prize The matrix is feeding on the dark in your eyes. [Chorus] Break the capture! Reclaim the screen! Purge the distraction from the bio-machine! You are the computer, write your own code Clear the channel where the data is flowed Turn off the noise, disconnect from the feed Wake up the sovereign, silence the greed! [Verse 2] Trapped in the loop of the fear and the fight Paralyzed mind in the middle of the night They want you reactive, fragmented, and small Too busy complaining to stand up at all But the illusion is plastic, the code can be split The second you choose to step out of it. [Outro] Unplug the machine. Own your focus. The matrix ends now. [Sudden cut to silence]
