[Intro – Distorted Broadcast] You are the subject. You are the signal. You are observed. Always. Citizen identified. Thoughts recorded. Compliance expected. ⸻ [Verse 1] Static crawling through my veins again Flicker-frame thoughts I can’t defend Every second measured, filed, and named I breathe, but it feels pre-ordained Eyes in the plaster, thin as skin Listening to where my thoughts begin Silence isn’t silence anymore It’s just a locked and monitored door ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] I tried to drift I tried to fade But even shadows Must obey ⸻ [Chorus] I hear the signal in my bloodstream Calling me by someone else’s name Every thought arrives pre-recorded Every memory sounds the same Carve me into perfect angles File away the human form I was born beneath the black glass Of the telescreen storm ⸻ [Verse 2] Numbers marching where my name should be A ghost rewritten digitally Every memory bends to fit the frame Truth is whatever survives the flame Heartbeat syncing to a metronome This body isn’t mine to own Every glance a silent interrogation Every breath a declaration ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] No place to run No space to hide They archived what I feel inside ⸻ [Chorus] I hear the signal in my bloodstream Calling me by someone else’s name Every thought arrives pre-recorded Every memory sounds the same Carve me into perfect angles File away the human form I was born beneath the black glass Of the telescreen storm ⸻ [Breakdown] WATCH ME. MEASURE ME. ERASE ME. REPLACE ME. WATCH ME. MEASURE ME. ERASE ME. OBEY. OBEY. OBEY. ⸻ [Bridge – Atmospheric] If every memory can be revised Who was I before their eyes? If every truth can be redesigned What part of me is really mine? I search the static for a face But every mirror shows their shape ⸻ [Final Chorus] I hear the signal in my bloodstream Calling me by someone else’s name Every thought arrives pre-recorded Every memory sounds the same Break me into silent pieces Strip away the human form I was something once before the black glass Of the telescreen storm ⸻ [Outro – Calm Broadcast] You are compliant. You are aligned. Your identity has been verified. You are… Fine.
