Zero Authority

[Intro – cold piano, distant sirens, low synth pulse]
They wired the sky with watching eyes
Turned every dream to data lines
We learned to breathe in borrowed air
And called it freedom ‘cause it’s there

⸻

[Verse 1 – restrained, ominous]
They built the cage inside our heads
Fed us the fear, then called it sense
Every question flagged and filed
Every truth… reconciled

We march in perfect symmetry
A hollowed-out humanity
But something fractures in my chest
A pulse they couldn’t quite suppress

⸻

[Pre-Chorus – rising tension]
I feel the pressure in my veins
A quiet war beneath the skin
Your system starts to bend and break
The moment I begin

⸻

[Chorus – explosive, defiant]
I’m breaking through your atmosphere
Your grip dissolves, I disappear
No gods above, no kings remain
Just fire running through my veins

You held me down, you held me still
Bent every truth to fit your will
But I ignite beyond your chains
No authority remains

⸻

[Verse 2 – heavier, more aggressive]
You sold us safety wrapped in lies
Traded our voices for compliance
Every screen a mirrored cage
Every thought pre-approved and staged

But I can feel the pressure climb
A detonation by design
If silence is the price to pay
Then I will burn it all away

⸻

[Pre-Chorus – urgent, building]
The signal cuts, the static screams
The walls you built are paper-thin
Your perfect world is glitching out
And I won’t live within

⸻

[Chorus – bigger, layered]
I’m breaking through your atmosphere
Your grip dissolves, I disappear
No gods above, no kings remain
Just fire running through my veins

You held me down, you held me still
Bent every truth to fit your will
But I ignite beyond your chains
No authority remains

⸻

[Bridge – eerie → massive rise]
(quiet)
Can you feel it slipping?
Control is just a myth you sell…

They tried to cage the infinite
But stars were never built to kneel

(building)
No more permission
No more control
I am the fracture
I am the hole

⸻

[Breakdown – heavy, distorted, chaotic, 10 measures]
Tear down the satellites
Blind every watching eye
If truth is insurrection
Then let your empire die

No more compliance
No more design
We are the anomaly
You couldn’t confine

⸻

[Final Chorus – huge, anthemic]
I’m breaking through your atmosphere
Watch your empire disappear
No throne survives the vacuum’s call
No regime outlasts the fall

I burn beyond your gravity
Rewrite the code inside of me
No force alive can cage this flame
Zero authority remains

⸻

[Outro – haunting, weightless]
Drifting past your reach at last
No future bound, no tethered past
The void is ours… the signal’s clear…
We were never meant to stay here
