**Intro** [heavy down-tuned guitar riff, distorted bass, tight hip-hop drum pattern, 8 bars, no vocals, nu metal energy building] **Verse 1A** [rapper, aggressive delivery, rapid-fire flow, sharp and paranoid energy] They changed the spelling but they swear it's always been Berenstein or Berenstain — so which world are you in Mandela died in prison eighty-three or did he not Your memory's a hard drive and someone wiped the slot The monopoly man never had a monocle — look again Sinbad never played a genie — was it all pretend They laugh and call it false memory, convenient science fiction But six billion people share the same impossible condition **Verse 1B** [singer, melodic but intense, builds to screaming on last two lines] Something doesn't line up in the corners of my mind Like they printed over history and told me I was blind I remember different timelines bleeding through the static noise [screaming:] Someone turned the dial and stole our voices [screaming:] Someone rewrote the code and left no choices **Chorus** They pulled the curtain back and nothing's what it seems Welcome to the glitch Where reality comes apart at all the seams Welcome to the glitch You think you're living in the truth but you're inside their dream Welcome to the glitch Wake up — it's not the world you thought it was Welcome to the glitch **Post Chorus** [screamed:] Glitch! They never told you what they buried in the feed [screamed:] Glitch! The Flintstones said yabba dabba — or was it doo — just read [screamed:] Glitch! Your childhood was a test run for the next revision [screamed:] Glitch! And every single update cut you out of the decision [screamed:] Glitch — glitch — glitch! **Verse 2A** [rapper, darker flow, slower and more menacing than verse 1] Chemtrails in the morning sky before the clouds roll in HAARP frequencies at 7.83 hertz — where does weather end Fluoride in the water since the fifties — ask you why They medicate the masses and you question — you must lie The towers were too perfect in the way they hit the ground Freefall speed, controlled precision — listen to the sound Every major crisis had a drill that matched the day You call it coincidence — I call it Broadway **Verse 2B** [singer, lower and more haunted, final lines break into screaming] I looked it up and something changed between my search and yours The algorithm knows which door to close before you find the source They built the maze and sold you maps that lead you back inside [screaming:] You can't escape the system that designed your mind [screaming:] You can't unsee the cracks in every single sign **Chorus** They pulled the curtain back and nothing's what it seems Welcome to the glitch Where reality comes apart at all the seams Welcome to the glitch You think you're living in the truth but you're inside their dream Welcome to the glitch Wake up — it's not the world you thought it was Welcome to the glitch **Post Chorus** [screamed:] Glitch! The simulation runs on fear and repetition [screamed:] Glitch! They patched the code each time we neared the real transmission [screamed:] Glitch! You felt it in your stomach — something wasn't right [screamed:] Glitch! The deja vu that hits you at three in the morning night [screamed:] Glitch — glitch — glitch! **Verse 3A** [rapper, fastest and most intense of all three — barely controlled chaos] NASA cut the feed in ninety six — what did we see The ISS went dark for seventeen hours — where did they be They found the monolith on Mars and buried it in data dumps While every whistleblower disappears in body thumps The dollar bill has got the pyramid — they never hid it there In plain sight is the oldest trick — it's hiding in the stare MK Ultra wasn't fiction — it was phase one of the plan And what comes after mind control — the control of man **Verse 3B** [singer, most emotionally raw, alternates melodic and full screaming per line] I keep replaying moments that I know went different ways [screaming:] Different ways Like someone cut and pasted every single normal day [screaming:] Normal day The logo that I grew up with isn't what they say it was [screaming:] What it was And every time I question it they drown me in applause [screaming:] In applause They need us comfortable — they need us looking down [full scream:] They built this whole illusion just to keep us in the ground **Bridge** [everything drops to single distorted guitar note held] [spoken, heavy reverb and echo:] What if the glitch isn't in the system What if the glitch — is you What if you already knew And they made you forget [single bass drum hit] [spoken:] Again **Final Chorus They pulled the curtain back and nothing's what it seems Welcome to the glitch Where reality comes apart at all the seams Welcome to the glitch You think you're living in the truth but you're inside their dream Welcome to the glitch Wake up — it's not the world you thought it was Welcome to the glitch [End]
