[Verse 1] The calendar is a hollow shell I traded my prime for a cage Now you sell me safety While you sharpen the edge of the blade You say it’s 'for our good' While you drag us through the mud You say it’s 'just the rules' But it’s me you overrule [Pre-Chorus] Call it safety Call it right I see chains dressed up in white [Chorus] I deserve a debt you’ll never pay Your manufactured panic built this hell Now the air is thick with hollow rules And you’re laughing at the wreckage [Verse 2] You aren't a soldier for the light Just a shadow with a clipboard Checking the pulse of the room Until nobody breathes at all [Pre-Chorus] It isn't a war It's a ritual of shame Strip away the name Until the mirror is blank [Chorus] I deserve a word you cannot say Your imaginary fever broke the world Now the sun is just a spotlight To watch us break on the floor [Bridge] You turned our lives into quarantine Imaginary concern You crowned it as a cause You are not fighting evil Just breaking people Calling this control 'love' and 'law' You turned our lives into hell And you still call it help [Chorus] I deserve a debt you’ll never pay Your manufactured panic built this hell Now the air is thick with hollow rules And you’re laughing at the wreckage
