Body Without a Mind

Verse 1 If you die inside the signal, does the body know your name? Does it keep on breathing softly, like a candle without flame? They said the mind’s the motor, the flesh just follows through, but if the soul gets disconnected, who is left inside of you? Pre-Chorus Red pill on my tongue, blue light in my eyes, I keep asking the system why nobody dies. If the code can erase me, but my heartbeat survives… Chorus Am I still alive if my mind is gone? Am I just a ghost with my body turned on? Walking through the world like the dead in disguise, empty little heaven with mechanical eyes. If the body cannot live without the mind, then what am I when I’m left behind? Not awake, not asleep, not fully dead— just another soul the Matrix bled. Verse 2 Maybe death is just a doorway, maybe life is just a screen, maybe we’re all haunted programs trying to remember what we mean. I see faces in the daylight, but the pupils don’t respond, like everybody’s still connected to a world they don’t belong. Pre-Chorus 2 White noise in my chest, black wires in my veins, I keep hearing my own voice calling out through the chains. If the mind was the kingdom and the body was the throne… who rules the empty palace when the king is gone? Bridge Do we become the walking dead, with a pulse but no prayer? A body in the room, but nobody there? Do we become the ones we used to run from at night? Eyes wide open, but emptied of light? Somebody tell me where the living begins— is it under the skin or somewhere deeper within? Final Chorus Am I still alive if my mind is gone? Am I just a ghost with my body turned on? Walking through the world like the dead in disguise, still breathing the lie through mechanical eyes. If the body cannot live without the mind, then maybe death is a broken design. Not awake, not asleep, not fully dead— just another soul the Matrix bled. Outro If you kill me in the dream, will I wake up in the wires? Or will I wander through the system with no mind, no fire? A heartbeat in the dark, a shadow being fed— alive by the body, but in the mind… dead.
