Intro
Yeah…
Look around.
Tell me you don’t see it.
Verse 1
Everybody hollow, walking with a barcode soul
Eyes glazed over, scrolling through a scripted role
Clock in, clock out, heart on airplane mode
Dreams shrink down just to fit the status quo
Smiles factory-made, stamped with approval
Individual thought labeled “removal”
We were born different, sparks in the dark
Now they file off the edges, make us all one part
Cog in the machine, turn when it spins
Celebrate the loss, call it “fitting in”
Trade freedom for a cubicle view
They sell you a life, but it ain’t really you
We forgot how to live for ourselves
Stack validation high on the shelves
Measure our worth by digital wealth
But never once sat with our own mental health
Chorus
Why we all move like we programmed to be?
Copy, paste, no identity
Born to be different, that’s fact, not myth
But they blur every line till the colors don’t shift
Hollow eyes in a concrete scene
Breathing, but they ain’t really seen
If you’re the voice inside your brain
Why you regret when you react to pain?
Verse 2
We learn different, perceive through our scars
Some see ceilings, some see stars
One man’s threat is another man’s test
One heart calm, another compressed
So if the voice in your head is “you”
Why it snap so fast like it always knew?
Why it lash out quick in a heated space
Then shame floods in like a second wave?
Instant reaction, ego defense
Later reflection don’t make no sense
If that was you, why the regret?
Why replay scenes you wish you’d forget?
Maybe that voice ain’t fully awake
Just impulses shaped by the fear you take
Conditioned response, survival design
Not every thought deserves the mic
Pause.
Breathe.
Think before the spark turns ablaze.
Some situations don’t need a war
They need a mind that can explore
Slow it down, let logic speak
Strength ain’t loud—it’s calm, it’s deep
Chorus
Why we all move like we programmed to be?
Copy, paste, no identity
Born to be different, wired unique
But they train us to silence what makes us speak
Hollow eyes in a concrete scene
Chasing a life off a broken screen
If you’re the voice inside your head
Why let it rule without being led?
Bridge
You are not every passing thought
Not every battle needs to be fought
The system loves a reactive mind
Easier to steer, easier to blind
But difference lives in the space you choose
Between the trigger and the fuse
That gap right there? That’s where you’re free.
That’s where you’re more than machinery.
Final Verse
So unplug fear from the mainframe lie
Question the script they amplify
You weren’t born just to comply
You weren’t built just to get by
We learn different, we feel unique
That’s power they don’t wanna see
The world feels hollow, cold, obscene—
But we ain’t cogs.
We’re the glitch in the machine.
