LYRICS

I buried my voice in the dirt
Numb to the weight I call home
I burned the hands reaching for me
But ash still carries my bones

Through wreckage I walk
Relentless, each mark
A story I wear
Through collapse and despair

The ground still hums with what I've lost
The wind wears faces I've known
I breathe the dust of who I was
And step on the grave of my ghost

I won't fall back
I won't fall back
I won't sink down
I won't sink down

I drowned, I broke, I chose to rise
From hollow dark behind my eyes
The cage I forged now falls apart
The burden's gone, I keep the marks

I kicked in the door of that room
Floor full of thoughts I outgrew
Every loose screw in my crooked spine
Now locks in the path I push through

Old ghosts still lean on my chest
They mouth my shame, but I cut through
I talk back to the voice in my head
Dare it to bet I won't pull through

You placed your bet, I raised the stake
I am the one you can't unmake
If I once knelt to my own decay
I'll be the one you bow down to

I drowned, I broke, I chose to rise
From hollow dark behind my eyes
The cage I forged now falls apart
The burden's gone, I keep the marks

Dragged me down, almost killed me
Lost the point of everything
Alone I fell, alone I chose
Alone I found the way I rose

Death is long enough
I choose life
One light breaks the dark
I will live

I drowned, I broke, I chose to rise
From hollow dark behind my eyes
The cage I forged now falls apart
The burden's gone, I keep the marks

I drowned, I broke, I chose to rise
From hollow dark behind my eyes
The cage I forged now falls apart
The burden's gone, I keep the marks

LYRICS

Marching shadows, iron lungs
Poisoned suns
Hands on wires, nerves enslaved
Neatly graved
Grinding gears through bone and will
Time to kill
Heartbeats tallied, pulse restrained
Veins of chains

Hand or weapon, pick your side
Pawn or predator inside
Crawling circuits in your head
Plastic prophets worship dead
Rusty halos, wired faith
Golden noose around your fate
Every step you never claim

Grinding teeth on welded bars
Bite the metal, scar the stars
Clock is carving through your veins
Each tick hammering your chains
Are you ash in scripted flame
Or the void that eats their name
Choose submission, slow erase
Or the storm that flays their face

Drag the sky down
In your flame
Twist their wires
Choke in shame
Break the pattern
From your name
Rule the ruin
In their game

Fractured halo, fevered eyes
Beneath the lies
Static hymns in circuits fade
Cold and frayed
Breathing cinders, burning throat
Cursed and wrote
Tremor crawling up the spine
Crossing line

Between heartbeats
Hear it roar
Join their circus
Wear the mask and walk the floor
Edge of flame
Revelation
Soul for comfort
Or brutal liberation

Drag the sky down
Let it fracture in your flame
Twist their wires
Make the masters drown in shame
Break the pattern
Scar their system with your name
Rule the ruin
Be the virus in their game

Drag the sky down
In your flame
Twist their wires
Choke in shame
Break the pattern
From your name
Rule the ruin
In their game
