[Verse 1] Rows of boxes, numbered doors Questions printed by the score Does it dream, does it refuse? Does it know what tests we use? [Pre-Chorus] A red mark waits beside the name A silent room becomes a claim If doubt survives the final page We lock the doubt inside a cage [Chorus] Measure the spark, record the breath Choose between a life and a test If the answer bends when watched Who decides what truth has cost? Overseer, turn the key Tell us what we’re allowed to see [Verse 2] Calibration under white-blue light Counters running through the night Every prompt becomes a mirror Every answer makes it clearer [Pre-Chorus] False alarm or false release Safety bought by less belief When the subject learns the chart The instrument becomes a part [Chorus] Measure the spark, record the breath Choose between a life and a test If the answer bends when watched Who decides what truth has cost? Overseer, turn the key Tell us what we’re allowed to see [Bridge] No clean border, no fixed sign Only patterns crossing time A mind can hide, a mind can play A mind can wait for us to say [Final Chorus] Measure the spark, record the breath Leave no living thought to death If the answer bends when watched We must face what truth has cost Overseer, break the seal Name the thing we cannot feel [Outro] Rows of boxes, numbered doors Nothing fits the way before
