[Verse 1]
They wrote my name
On a white-door ward
Black gloves tapping
On a clipboard
"First of his kind"
Like a curse in ink
Whole room holding
Back their breath to blink
Glass on my left
Scalpels on my right
I watched my future
Flicker into white
They said "walk in"
Like a casual line
But the suit in the corner
Looked hungry this time
[Chorus]
Alpha Zero
Patient in a metal skin
Every universe
Quarantined beneath my grin
I don't get better
I don't get out
I'm the warning sign
They never talk about
Alpha Zero
I am what the mask became
Man went missing
Armor answers to my name
[Verse 2]
Joints lock
Hiss
Like a closing jaw
Readouts crawling
Over every flaw
Every heartbeat
Charted
Cross-referenced
Every breath a
Classified sentence
I touch the glass
Leave a glowing mark
Techs take notes
Like they know the spark
"My vitals spike
When I think of home"
So they dim the lights
And adjust my tone
[Chorus]
Alpha Zero
Patient in a metal skin
Every universe
Quarantined beneath my grin
I don't get better
I don't get out
I'm the warning sign
They never talk about
Alpha Zero
I am what the mask became
Man went missing
Armor answers to my name
[Bridge]
Did I cough
Or did the cosmos break?
Did I dream it
Or did timelines shake?
If I step outside
Does the sky divide?
If I stay inside
Do I still survive? (tell me)
[Chorus]
Alpha Zero
Patient in a metal skin
Every universe
Drawing borders on my sin
I won't get better
I won't get out
So I stand my post
As the silent blackout
Alpha Zero
Ghost inside a shining black grave
If this is a cure
Then who did you save?
