[Verse 1] Steel lungs breathing borrowed air Clockwork hearts don’t feel, they measure Every step pre-approved Every word pre-recorded I move where the signal points I stop when the circuit breaks [Pre-Chorus] Hands on the wall Eyes to the screen Silence is safer Than asking “why” [Chorus] I am not broken I am aligned Forged in the pressure Programmed to survive No fire inside me No need to pretend I don’t collapse I recalibrate [Verse 2] Static rain in my veins Numbers hum where blood should be No ghosts, no gods, no dreams Just functions stacked on functions If this is freedom Why does it weigh so much? [Pre-Chorus] Count the seconds Swallow the doubt Truth is a glitch We learned to erase [Chorus] I am not broken I am aligned Forged in the pressure Programmed to survive No fire inside me No need to pretend I don’t collapse I recalibrate [Bridge – half spoken / distorted] Shut down the question Optimize the pain Emotion detected remove, restrain I was never meant To feel alive Only efficient Only on time [Final Chorus – bigger, orchestral] I am not broken I am refined Sharpened by forces That don’t ask why If this is living Then let it end Pull the plug slowly I recalibrate [Outro] Signal stable System intact Human error Corrected.
