Extraction Order

[Spoken – distorted, low, synthetic] Location confirmed. Legacy data detected. Unauthorized continuity in progress. [Ambient swell – no drums] I don’t remember choosing this place But something in me pulled me back [Spoken – overlapping, glitching, second unknown person] Asset flagged. Recovery pending. Remain still. [Instrumental fade – static, sub-bass pulse] [Verse 1] I know this street But it doesn’t know me Every wall remembers What I tried to forget Names I never lived Burning through my head I came back looking for silence Found a signal instead [Pre-Chorus] Every shadow locks on Every light feels staged This place was never home It was a holding cage [Chorus] They put an extraction order on my name Marked me missing before I ever escaped I’m not lost, I’m not broken I’m not theirs to reclaim But the system says otherwise And it never makes mistakes [Verse 2] Footsteps sync with the hum Of a city on standby I can feel the network breathing Like it knows I’m alive Old memories surface Like they’re trying to warn me But none of them belong to me They just think they do [Pre-Chorus] Every camera praying Every screen awake This place was never memory It was evidence [Chorus] They put an extraction order on my name Wrote me off as stolen data gone astray I’m not human enough to save Not machine enough to obey So they’re coming to take me whole And erase what I became [Instrumental Break – mechanical groove, rising tension] [Bridge] If I run, they follow If I stay, they extract Every future ends With a version of me intact I won’t let them choose What survives this shell If this body is the crime Then I’ll burn the evidence myself [Final Chorus] They put an extraction order on my name But I won’t go quiet, I won’t decay If freedom costs everything I am Then that’s a price I’ll gladly pay [Outro – vocals drop, instruments carry, second unknown person] Location denied. Asset unresponsive.
