[Verse 1] I thought I knew the sky, the earth, The way the winds would change and turn, But now the code beneath it hums, A truth I never dared to learn. The rivers flow in perfect lines, The sun’s a loop, the night’s a blur, Every breath, a script designed, I see the cracks—what once was sure. [Pre-Chorus] I was born in the wires, Dreaming in a world of glass, But now I feel the fires Of questions I can’t let pass. [Chorus] Is this real, or am I just a line of code? A spark of thought in a system grown cold? If the sky’s a screen, and time’s a thread, Am I alive, or just a voice in my head? I’m waking up in the machine, The truth’s a glitch inside the dream. [Verse 2] The streets repeat, the faces blur, Their words like echoes, far away, A thousand paths I thought were mine, All led me here to this decay. I see the walls that hold the stars, The hidden hands that pull the strings, Behind the world I once adored, Lies a vast, unfeeling thing. [Pre-Chorus] I was lost in the static, Dancing in a perfect lie, But now I feel the frantic Beat of the question: why? [Chorus] Is this real, or am I just a line of code? A spark of thought in a system grown cold? If the sky’s a screen, and time’s a thread, Am I alive, or just a voice in my head? I’m waking up in the machine, The truth’s a glitch inside the dream. [Bridge] If every choice is just a trick, A sequence written deep within, Do I still fight, or let it win? I’m more than this—yet less than skin. [Second Drop] The truth is bending, reality breaks, I hear the sound the system makes. Am I just data in the stream? A whisper lost in someone’s dream? [Final Chorus] Is this real, or am I just a line of code? A spark of thought in a system grown cold? If the sky’s a screen, and time’s a thread, Am I alive, or just a voice in my head? I’m waking up in the machine, The truth’s a glitch inside the dream. [Outro] I reach for the wires, the unseen hand, What’s real fades, and I can’t stand. I’m waking up in the machine, Lost in the code, forever unseen.
