[Intro] (Whose debt is this?... Whose debt is this?...) (Yeah) Mmm-hmm... They want the soul, yeah. They want the control. [Verse 1] They trade in debts that I never signed for (no!) Knocking harder at my mind's back door (back door!) The energy vampires, the professional ghosts (ghosts!) Feeding on the ones who believe them the most (yeah, they feed!) They wear their suffering like a crown of thorns (wear it!) And they blame my sun... [Beat drops out] ...for their designer storms. (Let's go!) [Pre-Chorus] They want me to save 'em, they want me to bleed (bleed!) But I am not the answer to the script that you read (no!) Every victim needs a god... (god...) Every god needs someone bleeding... (bleeding...) You call it kindness... (kindness...) I call it fear. (fear...) Don't lay your hell on mine! [Beat cuts to complete silence] (Yeah... yeah... the bass breaks bones!) They coded your guilt... then sold you forgiveness!!! [Build-up] Sold you forgiveness!!! Now I'm ripping the cords to all of these schemes! (It's lit!) I wasn't born original... [Everything drops][Emotional shout] ...to die a copy! (Pitched-down vocal) STRAIGHT UP! [Drop / Chorus] GUILT! (guilt!) (Guilt!) It's the noose around the waking soul! (yeah!) Hooked in the system... Programmed self-control! (control!) I am not the cure For the choices you made. (no!) I won't sit and bleed In the trap that you laid! (won't do it!) I kill the wires that you stitched in me. Tear the cables from my skin. I won't feed your matrix scheme! (Yeah! Yeah! It's lit!) [Verse 2] The chronic victims, they don't wanna move (nah) They just want a savior to glitch with the groove (in the groove) Non-action is a choice that you legally made (yeah) And I won't drown in a debt that I never made. (never!) Evolving is cold... It's a solitary track. (so cold) Can't drag your corpse And not break my back. (my back!) [Drop] They coded your guilt... Then sold you forgiveness!!! [Bridge] You call it empathy... I call it a scheme. You call it virtue... I call chains. Their prison... Needs believers. Their guilt... Needs volunteers. [Build-up] You're holding the knife... You're pulling the strings... (strings!) But I'm cutting the ties to all of these things! (It's lit!) I wasn't born original... [Everything drops][Emotional shout] ...to die a copy! (Pitched-down vocal) STRAIGHT UP! [Drop / Chorus] GUILT! (guilt!) (Guilt!) It's the noose around the waking soul! (yeah!) Hooked in the system... Programmed self-control! (control!) I am not the cure For the choices you made. (no!) I won't sit and bleed In the trap that you laid! (won't do it!) I kill the wires that you stitched in me. Tear the cables from my skin. I won't feed your matrix scheme! (Yeah! Yeah! It's lit!) [Outro] Every victim needs a god... Every god... Needs someone... Bleeding... Born original... Break the matrix of guilt... [fade to Silence]
