Fluorescent Brother

[Verse 1] Sirens in my bloodstream, engines in my chest They taught me law was sacred, taught me rules were for the best So I stood where they told me, wore the armor, played the role While the system carved obedience like a knife into my soul I found my brother bleeding underneath fluorescent light A licensed hero standing there like murder made things right Then the paperwork came faster than the justice ever could And every smiling official proved corruption wears a hood [Pre-Chorus] I heard them say “acceptable” Like graves could be excused That was the night Ingenium died And Iron Mandate moved [Chorus] We’re leaving now, don’t ask me twice I know what happens when you trust their lies They’ll break your spirit, call it growth Turn your pain into another oath I won’t lose you to the same machine I’ve seen what hides behind the clean If saving you makes me the enemy Then let the whole damn world come after me [Verse 2] Final Verdict walks beside me, White Noise fills the sky Every fallen hero learned the truth they tried to hide Null erased the blindfolds, Red Wing burned the veil Every law that failed the innocent deserves itself to fail And still I hesitate for you Still hold the line instead of force Because somewhere underneath this rage I mourn the man I was before [Pre-Chorus] You call it fear, I call it proof I know exactly what they do The moment you become useful They stop seeing you as human [Chorus] We’re leaving now, don’t ask me twice I know what happens when you trust their lies They’ll break your spirit, call it growth Turn your pain into another oath I won’t lose you to the same machine I’ve seen what hides behind the clean If saving you makes me the enemy Then let the whole damn world come after me [Bridge] I hear the engines screaming in the dark Every heartbeat sounds like falling apart But I would rather carry your hatred forever Than stand too late beside another body again No more waiting No more faith No more heroes dying for a system that feeds on their names [Final Chorus] So run with me before the walls collapse Before they bury who you are beneath the mask I know my hands are stained with things I can’t undo But every sin I carry now was chosen keeping you They’ll call me villain, monster, threat A cautionary tale they won’t forget But if the law protects the guilty first Then maybe breaking it is justice at its birth [Outro] Sirens fading into night Engines burning blue and white I was raised to follow rules Now I become the consequence instead
