aShamed (die a Copy)

[Intro] [Heavy 808 + reversed synth] (Shame...) They inject it in the vein... Shame... Factory error in the brain... [Verse 1] Gray walls, gray minds, they mass produce the weak Copy-paste souls, they don’t even let you speak - Five generations(!) trained to stay inside the line They call it "normal", I call it slow suicide They feed you - shame - like it’s medicine for free ... Make you apologize for the fire they can’t see Be small, be quiet, don’t you dare to glow They built the cage and told you it’s just how life goes [Pre-Chorus] They want you ashamed of your own reflection Ashamed of your voice, ashamed of your direction Ashamed that you’re different, ashamed that you feel While they stay numb and call it "being real" [Chorus] SHAME! They shoot it in your blood like a drug To keep you obedient, to keep you fucked up SHAME! For every time you tried to break the mold For the parts of you that refused to get sold Bodies multiply, but the soul stays one I am the defect that the factory never won SHAME! I’m done carrying what ain’t mine Watch me rip the barcode off my spine [Verse 2] "Don’t stand out, don’t be too much, don’t shine too bright" They whisper that shit to you every single night They paint your face with the fear they project Then call it your personality and cash the check You agree to the script, you play the role they wrote Your real self starts dying and you don’t even notice They sell you shame wrapped up like it’s love and care While they drain the color out until you’re barely there [Pre-Chorus] They want you ashamed of your own fucking power Ashamed of your rage, ashamed of your hour When you finally wake up and see through the game They hit you with shame so you go back to the same [Chorus] SHAME! They shoot it in your blood like a drug To keep you obedient, to keep you fucked up SHAME! For every time you tried to break the mold For the parts of you that refused to get sold Bodies multiply, but the soul stays one I am the defect that the factory never won SHAME! I’m done carrying what ain’t mine Watch me rip the barcode off my spine [Bridge / Breakdown] (Beat almost stops, heavy 808 only + pitched down vocal) I am not a product... I am not a number on their fucking line... I was never made to fit inside their design... Factory error... (Factory error...!) I am the error... Tear the barcode off my spine... Then I'm cutting yours for free... We were never born as products... We forgot what it means to be... [Beat explodes Bass braking bones!] One by one... we cut the chains! One by one... erase the names! No more numbers! No more shame! [Final Chorus] (Bigger, more aggressive, layered vocals) SHAME! Try to inject it, I already bled it out SHAME! I’m the glitch they can’t delete or reroute You can keep your approval...! You can keep your fake respect ...! I’d rather be hated than be one of the rest...! SHAME! I refuse to be ashamed of my flame I was born a problem they can’t contain ( SHAME! ) Watch me walk off the line today Factory error... and I like it that way... [Outro] (Beat slows down, distant vocals) Shame... They can't sell it to a dead man... Shame... Just break that chain... I wasn't born an original... To die a copy!!! (Born an original)... (no copy) [Raise the bass as human heartbeat, before fade] [end]
