[Intro]
Yeah
Hundred billion sparks in the dark of the skull
Every wound left a path, every path made a pull
Every thought that I fed put a weight on the scale
I was building my brain every time that I failed
Now I see it for real
No mask, no myth, no manufactured appeal
Just signals and storms tryna learn how to heal
And the man in the mirror ain’t fixed — he’s a field
[Hook]
I been rewiring pain into power
Minute by minute, hour by hour
Mirror in my mind, I was lost in the crowd
Now I move with a voice that is quiet but loud
No chains on the self I invented before
No war with the waves, I just learn what they’re for
I was split, I was drifted, I was pulled by the noise
Now I’m choosing my thoughts, I ain’t trapped in the void
[Chorus]
We are patterns, we are pulses, we are fire in a frame
Not a permanent identity, not a single, solid name
We are memory in motion, we are circuits under strain
If I face what’s unconscious, I can rewire all the pain
Yeah, the world gets inside us, and we echo what we see
But the moment I observe it, I can start to make it free
So I step into awareness, let the false self fall apart
From the neurons to the soul print, I’m rebuilding from the heart
[Verse 1]
Used to take every difference like a threat to survive
Narrow mind, limbic hijack, just react and deny
Defensive chemistry flooding, had me stuck in a cage
Thinking anger made me stronger, really fear was the gauge
Social validation had me fiending for the hit
Dopamine for every nod, serotonin when I fit
But the mirror neuron blurred where I ended, you begin
So I wore a hundred faces just to feel I could blend in
Backward-rationalizing every impulse, every scar
Telling stories to myself ’bout why I am what I are
But the truth is more complex, there’s no tyrant at the core
Just a chorus full of circuits kicking open every door
Self-observation brought the neocortex online
Turned reaction into reason, turned the chaos into rhyme
Now resilience getting stronger every time I stay awake
Every trigger is a lesson, every fracture is a break
[Hook]
I been rewiring pain into power
Minute by minute, hour by hour
Mirror in my mind, I was lost in the crowd
Now I move with a voice that is quiet but loud
No chains on the self I invented before
No war with the waves, I just learn what they’re for
I was split, I was drifted, I was pulled by the noise
Now I’m choosing my thoughts, I ain’t trapped in the void
[Verse 2]
Left brain wanna lock the world down in a story it can keep
Right brain sees the cracks forming underneath the concrete
When the model can’t contain what reality revealed
Either truth gets integrated or the fracture stays concealed
Ain’t no single throne of consciousness, no master in command
Just a temporary image made of shifting grains of sand
Like pixels making portraits, like a waveform in the mist
Every second I’m emerging as a different kind of this
So the self I used to worship was a useful little lie
