No Signal in the Cedar (Ultra Version)

[Intro] The towers learned our names, then filed our hearts away A thousand glass commands rehearsed the words we'd say When every borrowed thought was stamped and synchronized We found a buried door beneath the paradise [Verse 1 - Female] I wore the city's weather like a second skin Let silent engines tell me where to breathe and when The screens prescribed forgiveness, measured every scar Then night erased the network, and I saw the stars [Pre-Chorus - Female] No signal in the cedar, no master in the rain The roots kept their old language, untouched by human reign I cut the final circuit, I let the current die And heard my own blood answer from the soil outside [Chorus - Both] We are not your numbers, not your polished throne We are bone and breath and blood, reclaiming what we own Let the iron gardens rust, let every cold command unwind We will build no cage again, we will leave the wires blind [Verse 2 - Male Rap] They sold a perfect future in a packet and a plan A mercy made of metrics with a barcode for a hand I watched the bright obedient march assemble at the gate While every choice was chosen and every doubt called hate Now I carry no device, no lens, no coded guide Just a flint, a worn-out compass, and the people by my side If the old world wants a password, let it echo, let it starve We are learning how to stumble, how to mend, and how to carve [Verse 2 Response - Female] I found a cracked blue cup beside an empty rail A child had painted birds along its chipped enamel Small proof that hands can make what no machine can know A crooked little flock that taught my heart to grow [Bridge - Both] Violin through the branches, flute across the stone Piano like a footprint leading farther from the chrome The tribal drums remember what the algorithms missed A heartbeat needs no upgrade, a hand needs no assist [Breakdown - Male] Turn it off Let the false sun fall Break the mirror, break the wall No more masters in the hall [Breakdown - Female] Bury the keys beneath the wheat Wash the dust from weary feet Name the rivers, name the trees Learn the shape of being free [Final Chorus - Both] We are not your numbers, not your polished throne We are bone and breath and blood, reclaiming what we own Let the iron gardens rust, let every cold command unwind We will build no cage again, we will leave the wires blind [Outro - Female and Male] If tomorrow asks what saved us, say the quiet and the flame Say we chose the living world, and gave ourselves a name No signal in the cedar, no master in the rain We came back through the roots, and will not kneel again
