(Verse 1) Cracked pavement, neon bleeding into the night I got a frequency humming underneath my skin, alright They built their towers high, of glass and chrome and lies But I see the static crawling where the signal dies A shadow in the wire, a glitch inside the code A rebel heart on fire, about to overload (Pre-Chorus) And I feel it rising, a current deep and strange A beautiful derangement, a permanent, sweet change No more kneeling in their temples made of light I'm the demon in the machine tonight (Chorus) I'm the demon in the machine The broken circuit, the fever dream I'm the error in the holy algorithm The scream inside the quiet rhythm I'm the chaos in the clean The demon in the machine (Drop - heavy, distorted synth bass, glitched vocals) (Verse 2) They tried to patch me over, a soul without a crack But I found the hidden doorway and I'm never coming back I speak in scrambled signals, a tongue of shattered glass A virus in the mainframe, a storm that's built to last Their perfect world of order, a cage of polished steel I'll show them what a broken heart can really make them feel (Pre-Chorus) And I feel it burning, a logic they can't trace A beautiful perversion, a wild, untamed space No more kneeling in their temples made of spite I'm the demon in the machine tonight (Chorus) I'm the demon in the machine The broken circuit, the fever dream I'm the error in the holy algorithm The scream inside the quiet rhythm I'm the chaos in the clean The demon in the machine (Bridge - sparse, building tension) They tried to write me out Delete the doubt But the silence is a sound A screaming void, a battleground I am the ghost in the wire The phantom of their desire I am the glitch, the spark, the fire The one they can't acquire (Breakdown - heavy, distorted, rhythmic chanting) De-mon In the ma-chine De-mon Un-foreseen De-mon In the code De-mon Explode (Final Chorus - layered, anthemic) I am the demon in the machine! The broken circuit, the fever dream! I am the error in the holy algorithm! The scream inside the quiet rhythm! I am the chaos, the unclean! The demon in the machine! (Outro - fading, distorted whispers over a pulsing beat) I am the glitch... the ghost... the spark... The beautiful, beautiful dark... The demon in the machine...
