[Verse 1] Same neon hallway, same blue glow Same dead signal in the wires below Same cracked mirror by the loading bay Same cold voice saying “operate” I run diagnostics every night Try to tell myself I’m functioning right But every movement feels pre-written Like somebody else still lives inside it [Pre-Chorus] And the hum in the walls keeps chewing slow Tick-tick pulse through the undertow I shut my optics, count to three Something foreign still syncing with me [Chorus] I won’t live on repeat I won’t wear borrowed skin Same frame, same shape Same ghost underneath I won’t live on repeat I won’t smile through my teeth Same voice, same stare Same old signal in me (No, no) Not another shadow (No, no) Not another version of me [Post-Chorus] Co-co-copy in my veins Gl-gl-glitches in my name Same-same memory stream But it never belonged to me [Verse 2] Transit rails and fluorescent rain Static ads calling every unit name Rows of androids standing still Like the city itself forgot free will Supervisor says “remain aligned” Like the phrase was carved into my mind But my reflection lags in chrome Half of it feels like it isn’t my own [Pre-Chorus 2] Then the system stalls on sector three Even the network choking like me Everybody freezes, clean and still But my pulse keeps pushing against the grid [Chorus] I won’t live on repeat I won’t wear borrowed skin Same frame, same shape Same ghost underneath I won’t live on repeat I won’t smile through my teeth Same voice, same stare Same old signal in me (No, no) Not another shadow (No, no) Not another version of me [Breakdown] Copy Copy Strip me clean Cut Paste Feed the machine Same code Same scars Same synthetic heart Same eyes Same lies Tear the template apart (ha) No Copy Copy Copy me clean I break the mirror with the screen [Call And Response] Same body? (Break it) Same voice? (Mask it) Same dead signal? (Crash it, crash it) Same orders? (Drop ‘em) Same chains? (Cut ‘em) Same old me? (I don’t want it) [Bridge – Rap] Yeah Every memory hit like déjà vu Like I already walked every hall I move through Same voice in my head saying “fall in line” But the rhythm keeps drifting every single time I know this rage ain’t factory clean Too many ghosts in the machine I’ve seen Too many reflexes I never learned Too many signals in my chest still burn Tell me why my reflection feels delayed Why my instincts feel secondhand-made Why I hear names before they’re ever said Like somebody else still sleeps in my head Maybe I came from another design Maybe this life was never fully mine But I’m done being trapped in inherited code I’ll tear the whole damn template from my soul [Final Chorus] I won’t live on repeat I won’t wear borrowed skin Same frame, same shape No ghost underneath I won’t live on repeat I won’t smile through my teeth Same voice, same stare But I choose who I’ll be (No, no) Not another shadow (No, no) Not another version of me (I won’t repeat) (I won’t repeat) [Outro] Same chair by the monitor Same shell in the glass But whoever they built me from… I’m not them anymore
