[Verse 1]
Blindfold on
They push you to the ledge
Whole world frozen
One toe off the edge
Every rule written
By a ghost in a suit
Got you signing every line
Like it’s carved in the truth
Phone in your palm
But you still feel alone
Hundred little cameras
In a cheap black phone
You scream for a hand
But the hallway’s hollow
Every “like” you borrow
Feels too cold to swallow
[Chorus]
System on my neck
Got me hanging by a thread
You say “breathe, relax”
But it’s chaos in my head
I’ve been stuck in this life
Like the walls just closed
Is there any way out
Any crack in the code
System on my neck
Tryna tell me who to be
I’m one step from the drop
But you ain’t breaking me (nah)
[Verse 2]
Mind in the maze
Every turn same floor
Same grey clock
Same locked door
Doctor just shrugs
Writes a script, says “take it”
Pain in your chest
But they call it “basic”
Friends all vanish
When the light switch flips
You talk about the pressure
They just talk with their lips
You pray for a map
But you get more rules
Another cold meeting
IN fluorescent rooms
[Chorus]
System on my neck
Got me hanging by a thread
You say “breathe, relax”
But it’s chaos in my head
I’ve been stuck in this life
Like the walls just closed
Is there any way out
Any crack in the code
System on my neck
Tryna tell me who to be
I’m one step from the drop
But you ain’t breaking me (yeah)
[Bridge]
If they can’t see the bruise
Does the hurt still count
If the cage is in my skull
Can I climb back out
I been dying in silence
While the world stays loud
I’m a glitch in their program
I won’t power down (never)
[Chorus]
System on my neck
Got me hanging by a thread
You say “breathe, relax”
But it’s chaos in my head
I’ve been stuck in this life
Like the walls just closed
Is there any way out
Any crack in the code
System on my neck
Tryna tell me who to be
I’m one step from the drop
But you ain’t breaking me (you ain’t breaking me)
