[Intro: low distorted glitch ambience, distant mechanical pulse] Built it up just to watch it burn Polished lies in a perfect form Smiling faces, dead inside Everything we touch just fucking dies [Verse 1: rapid semi-rap, tight controlled aggression] We built the system, fed the flame Watched it grow while truth got slain Power flips but stays the same New mask, same fucking game Paint it gold, rewrite the past Seal the cracks so it can last History bends, truth gets erased Profit wins, the rest get erased [Pre-Chorus: rising tension] We see it… we feel it Still chained to the wheel [Chorus: big melodic soar with heavy guitars and bite] We’re rotting from the inside out Scream it loud but the world stays drowned Dress it up just to tear it down Truth gets buried in the noise we shout Every empire built to fall Everything gets bought and sold We don’t fix what we control We just watch the whole thing rot [Verse 2: faster chaotic rap flow] Bread and circuses, keep ‘em numb Poison injected straight to the thumb Scroll, consume, obey the feed Sell the dream while we all bleed Justice sold behind closed doors Wars get signed, we pay the score Same disease in a new disguise Same decay we idolize [Pre-Chorus: rising tension] We know it… we see it Still refuse to free it [Chorus: big melodic soar with heavy guitars and bite] We’re rotting from the inside out Scream it loud but the world stays drowned Dress it up just to tear it down Truth gets buried in the noise we shout Every empire built to fall Everything gets bought and sold We don’t fix what we control We just watch the whole thing rot [Bridge: stripped cold unsettling] I see the wires, I know the game Feed the machine, stay in frame No escape, no override Just another gear that dies [Breakdown: heavy chugs stage 1 controlled, stage 2 add intensity and screams, stage 3 full chaos layered screams] WE BUILT THE LIE WE FED THE ROT WE SEE THE END BUT WE WON’T STOP COG IN THE MACHINE TRAPPED IN PLACE WATCH IT FUCKING BURN AND CALL IT GRACE [Final Chorus: massive full intensity] We’re rotting from the inside out Scream it loud but the world stays drowned Dress it up just to tear it down Truth gets buried in the noise we shout Every empire built to fall Everything gets bought and sold We don’t fix what we control We just watch the whole thing rot [Outro: glitch fade mechanical hum] Same machine… same result Nothing changes… we just watch it burn
