[Intro] [Cold, rhythmic industrial synth beat resembling a heart monitor] [Haunting Operatic Soprano - wordless, echoing melody] [Sudden explosion of heavy syncopated Nu-Metal guitars] [Verse 1] [Aggressive Rap-Rock Vocals] Fluorescent lights and the sterile white walls Echoes of footsteps down endless long halls Sitting on the paper, it crinkles and tears Waiting for a verdict to validate fears Another new doctor with a chart in his hand Speaking in a language I don't understand Checking my reflexes, watching the shake Wondering how much more my spirit can take [Pre-Chorus] [Stripped back beat, heavy bassline] [Clean Male Vocals] I am a puzzle they're trying to solve While the world that I knew starts to slowly dissolve Under the microscope, under the light [Chorus] [Epic Operatic Soprano Vocals soaring over heavy guitars] I am not just a name on a screen! I am flesh, I am blood, caught in the machine! Look in my eyes, see the fire inside A human soul that refuses to hide! Beyond the diagnosis, beyond the pain I will rise from the ashes and break through the chain! [Instrumental Break] [Stuttering Industrial Synth mixed with heavy guitar chugs] [Verse 2] [Aggressive Rap-Rock Vocals] Electrodes attached to the skin on my head Scanning the brain while I'm lying in bed Looking for lesions, a shadow, a clue Telling me things that I already knew The body's misfiring, the signals are crossed But what about the pieces of me that are lost? Prescribing the pills with a list of effects Treating the symptom, but I'm the subject [Pre-Chorus] [Stripped back beat, heavy bassline] [Clean Male Vocals] I am a puzzle they're trying to solve While the world that I knew starts to slowly dissolve Under the microscope, under the light [Chorus] [Epic Operatic Soprano Vocals soaring over heavy guitars] I am not just a name on a screen! I am flesh, I am blood, caught in the machine! Look in my eyes, see the fire inside A human soul that refuses to hide! Beyond the diagnosis, beyond the pain I will rise from the ashes and break through the chain! [Verse 3] [Fast, spoken-word rap building in intensity] Side effect one, side effect two Tell me exactly what this is gonna do Will it stop the trembling, will it numb the mind? Leaving the ghost of who I was behind? I am navigating through this medical maze Trapped in the glare of the clinical gaze But I won't be reduced to a file in a drawer I am the storm, I am the war! [Bridge] [Duet: Operatic Soprano and Aggressive Screams] [Soprano] Don't look through me! [Scream] I'm standing right here! [Soprano] Can you hear my plea? [Scream] Face the fear! [Both] We are more than the broken parts! [Guitar Solo] [Technical Nu-Metal shredding alternating with slow, heavy doom riffs] [Chorus] [Epic Operatic Soprano Vocals soaring over heavy guitars] I am not just a name on a screen! I am flesh, I am blood, caught in the machine! Look in my eyes, see the fire inside A human soul that refuses to hide! Beyond the diagnosis, beyond the pain I will rise from the ashes and break through the chain! [Outro] [Heavy guitars abruptly cut out] [Return of the rhythmic heart monitor synth] [Soprano Whisper] Just a human... [Sound of a heartbeat fading out] [End]
