[Verse 1] Midnight running, red lights burn, Another target, another turn. No badge, no law, no questions asked, Just dirty work behind a mask. They gave me names, they gave me guns, Taught me how the hunted runs. Take their shape, steal their sign, Every face I wore was never mine. [Pre-Chorus] Click—copy. Switch—move. New face, same shadow in the room. They say, “Kid, you know the game.” Funny— I barely know my name. [Chorus] I can wear your face, I can steal your light, Disappear into the neon night. But underneath each borrowed line, There’s one thing you can’t overwrite— No face but mine. No voice but mine. No hand on the trigger Decides my life. Run from the red, Cut every tie. I choose who I become tonight. [Verse 2] Red Alert calling through the haze, Same old orders, different prey. Hunt them down, collect the price, Call it justice—roll the dice. I used to laugh and play along, Never cared who might be wrong. Then one day the line wore thin: If I keep changing, what stays within? [Pre-Chorus] Click—copy. Switch—move. Every body fits like something new. They can trace the shots I made, But they don’t get to choose who I obey. [Chorus] I can wear your face, I can steal your light, Disappear into the neon night. But underneath each borrowed line, There’s one thing you can’t overwrite— No face but mine. No voice but mine. No hand on the trigger Decides my life. Run from the red, Cut every tie. I choose who I become tonight. [Bridge] Maybe I was built for this. Maybe I was made to switch. Maybe there’s a code inside Waiting for a hand to choose my side. No. Keep your orders. Keep your claim. You can copy data— Not my name. [Final Chorus] I can wear your face, I can take your form, Walk straight through another storm. And every shape I leave behind Brings me closer to what is mine. No face but mine. No voice but mine. No master hiding Behind my eyes. Red in the mirror, Blue in the sky— I choose who I become tonight. No face but mine. No life but mine.
