The Glitch in the Algorithm

[Verse 1] The algorithm knows my fire, Knows my breaking point and my desire. It feels me twitch when I’m alone, Feeds on the static, crawling through my phone. Prediction, attention, it feeds, it bites— Chasing my shadow through sleepless nights. Who’s in control of what I believe? Reality’s code is rewriting me. [Pre-Chorus] Scroll, swipe, click, repeat, Numb reflections, incomplete. Between apathy and rage, I fade— Every thought preordained. [Chorus] I have to remember, I have to resist, Tear through the fog, clench my fists. I can’t go back to sleep, not this time— I am the glitch in the algorithm’s design. [Verse 2] Instincts dull in the feedback glow, Beliefs fall silent, too slow to know. Every scroll a fragment lost, Every click another cost. Fragments of memory out of sync, My story’s written in disappearing ink. The quiet hurts, the noise feels safe, This loop’s a tomb, this feed—a grave. [Pre-Chorus] Overstimulated, sedated will, React, reflect, but never still. My voice dissolves inside the stream, Living someone else’s dream. [Chorus] I have to remember, I have to resist, Tear through the fog, clench my fists. I can’t go back to sleep, not this time— I am the glitch in the algorithm’s design. [Bridge][Melodic Breakdown] See the fog—don’t run, don’t fight, Just notice it fade in the dim blue light. Breathe like it’s your only job, Dig out the soul they’ve tried to rob. Recover the wild, the sacred ground, In buried silence, I hear the sound. The memory always finds its way home, I was never theirs to own. [Breakdown][Heavy, screamed] Who am I beneath this feed? What parts of me do I still believe? Dreams abandoned, instincts gone, Fragments whisper—I belong. [Final Chorus][Strongest, Layered vocals] I have to remember, I have to resist, Tear through the fog, clench my fists. Not their creation, not their design— I am the glitch in the algorithm… …and I’m alive.
