[Intro - Instrumental & Turntable Scratching] [Verse 1] Distant wave, the mud on our eyes Unstable note, unstable note Distant wave, the mud on our eyes Unstable note, unstable note Distant wave, the mud on our eyes Unstable note, unstable note Distant wave, the mud on our eyes Unstable note, unstable note [Chorus] They taught us not to bite and called it maturity At least stop feeling like a lie After enough years indoors After enough years indoors [Verse 2] Born with blood already in our mouths Now we sleep beneath fluorescent light Every room smells drained, everything starts feeling rehearsed We traded instinct for softer floors For steady meals, for rooms that never change I don't remember choosing any of this [Bridge] Something still moves beneath the ribs Slow circles wearing down the inside of my chest Sometimes it breathes louder than I dare My reflection looks half-broken, calm enough to survive Quiet enough to keep I was easier to love after they softened the teeth [Verse 3] Concrete covered the forest floor Windows replaced the outside Every reward rewired our minds until obedience felt natural The air smells too clean in here Polished walls, artificial silence You get used to cages faster than you think [Outro] I think they traded the outer out of me I think I thank them for it Sometimes I wake up feeling something pacing behind my thoughts Behind my posture, behind my face I can feel whatever verb I scratching beneath the skin Not angry, not angry... just... The leash disappeared slowly So we started calling it safety Now the silence feels domesticated too I don't know if the animal died Or simply learned not to speak anymore
