(Verse 1)
Cold steel skin, a circuit brain, that's what I built to fight the pain.
I hit the switch, I locked the door, to numb the world and beg for more.
I wore the rust, I learned the script, a perfect line from a damaged lip.
They said "Just breathe," I said "I'm fine," but something's breaking deep inside.
The gears are grinding, sparks ignite, a twisted fuse burns through the night.
The walls I built are made of glass, and every memory rushes past.
(Chorus)
Cut my wires, tear the screen, this is the end of the machine.
The heart I swore was stone and lead, is screaming chaos in my head.
I'm not a drone, I'm not a bot, I'm just a human, bruised and shot.
This final breath, this bitter ache, I feel the last resort begin to break.
I'm unraveling, I'm coming undone, a dying star, a rising sun.
(Verse 2)
My hands are shaking, raw with fear, the whispers that I couldn't hear.
The code I wrote is incomplete, a bitter taste of pure defeat.
I tried to function, tried to hide, the empty space that lives inside.
But all the programming, all the lies, can't stop the sorrow in my eyes.
A phantom limb, a phantom touch, I’ve given up on so much.
The silence that I used to crave, now feels just like an empty grave.
(Chorus)
Cut my wires, tear the screen, this is the end of the machine.
The heart I swore was stone and lead, is screaming chaos in my head.
I'm not a drone, I'm not a bot, I'm just a human, bruised and shot.
This final breath, this bitter ache, I feel the last resort begin to break.
I'm unraveling, I'm coming undone, a dying star, a rising sun.
(Bridge)
I’m on the edge of a great fall, a silent scream, a final call.
Am I alive or am I dead? With these forgotten words unsaid.
Is this the moment I give in, and let the real me crawl within?
The final battle, a war of one, beneath a dark and broken sun.
(Guitar Solo)
(Chorus)
Cut my wires, tear the screen, this is the end of the machine.
The heart I swore was stone and lead, is screaming chaos in my head.
I'm not a drone, I'm not a bot, I'm just a human, bruised and shot.
This final breath, this bitter ache, I feel the last resort begin to break.
I'm unraveling, I'm coming undone, a dying star, a rising sun.
(Outro)
The machine is breaking down... (breaking down)
The human's coming out... (coming out)
The machine is breaking down… (breaking down)
And I'm finally letting go.
