Invisible hands adjust the room A quiet shift, a silent doom The walls close in, the corners shrink It bends the light to change how you think Your eyes deceive, your memory lies It scripts the words behind your eyes You flinch at sounds that aren't yet there And breathe its suffocating air A quiet code written in your head To starve the thoughts you should have fed Which thoughts were born inside your chest? Which ones were planted by the rest? It maps the marrow, claims the spine Rewires the brain to mark the line It breaks the frame, it burns the wood And calls the ashes doing good It owns the blood, it owns the bone It tears you down to build its home You fade away behind its eyes An empty carcass it keeps alive You weld the cage, you turn the screw And thank the cold for making you It holds the bank, it counts the coins It clips the string where freedom joins Every penny traced, every asset sealed No step is taken, no wound is healed You trade your work for bed and bread A quiet inmate, quietly fed It drains the account, it locks the door And makes you beg to ask for more It takes the body, rips at the flesh Held down tight within a forced caress No breath to refuse, no right to yield Your skin becomes a battlefield A heavy hand, a forced constraint It leaves a bruise, it leaves a stain It breaks the ribs, it claims consent And turns invasion into right It owns the blood, it owns the bone It tears you down to build its home You fade away behind its eyes An empty carcass it keeps alive You weld the cage, you turn the screw And thank the cold for making you....... It takes your money....... It takes your skin....... It locks you out....... It locks you in....... You chew your arm to leave the trap You praise the teeth that make you snap Without the shape, you're stripped of control A vacant mind, a hollow hole You wear the scar, you lick the whip You bleed the words that split your lip
