The Fault in Your Machine

[Intro] You taught me how to hide the strain, To wear a smile beneath the pain. You built the walls and named them fate, I found the lock and broke the gate. [Verse 1] I learned to breathe inside the noise, While someone else controlled my choice. I played the part, I wore the skin, But something violent woke within. You fed me fear disguised as truth, And carved obedience through my youth. You told me where my limits end, I became the flaw you cannot mend. [Pre-Chorus] There is a signal in my veins, It grows much louder through the chains. The more you push, the less I bend, The more you break, the more I mend. [Chorus] I am the fault inside your frame, The spark you never learned to tame. You pushed me down to make me small, I found my strength beneath the fall. I am the crack beneath control, The missing piece you could not own. You built your world to swallow me, I broke the lock and kept the key. [Verse 2] I walked in circles day by day, Until the walls dissolved away. The voices told me choose a side, I let them scream and stepped outside. Regret still follows like a shade, A monument to choices made. But every scar became a map, That showed the teeth inside your trap. [Pre-Chorus] You wanted silence, clean and numb, A perfect thing that would become Another shadow in your line, But you forgot this life is mine. [Chorus] I am the fault inside your frame, The spark you never learned to tame. You pushed me down to make me small, I found my strength beneath the fall. I am the crack beneath control, The missing piece you could not own. You built your world to swallow me, I broke the lock and kept the key. [Bridge] Your empire feeds on borrowed breath, And sells obedience dressed as death. I cut the feed, I killed the sound, Then built myself from broken ground. No mirror tells me what to see, No empty crowd defines what's me. You wanted something you could bind, You only woke a stronger mind. [Breakdown] Push me. Shape me. Try to erase me. Break me. Blame me. You cannot replace me. I know the pattern, know the game, You change the mask, remain the same. I watched your perfect order rust, While everything you touched turned dust. [Final Chorus] I am the fault inside your frame, The spark you never learned to tame. You pushed me down to make me small, I built a kingdom from the fall. I am the pulse beneath your calm, The living wound beyond your balm. You tried to turn my blood to rust, I lost your world and found my trust. [Outro] I leave the wreckage where it lies, No borrowed truth behind my eyes. You wanted silence, clean and numb, I became what you could not become.
