[Verse 1]
Cold glass cradle
I wake in the wires
Their white coats flinch
As I breathe their fire
Number on my neck
Like a curse they branded
“Weapon
” they whisper
I was never handed
[Chorus]
Savage genesis
I am the broken crown
Born in a cage just to burn it down
You made a monster
Taught me pain as truth
Now choke on the fury of your perfect proof
Savage genesis
I tear your kingdom through
I am your question
And I’m the answer too
[Verse 2]
He calls me “asset”
Thinks chains are devotion
Rocket on his hand
But I’m the explosion
He wants a god
On a velvet leash
I carve his empire
Out of steel and teeth (hey!)
[Chorus]
Savage genesis
I am the broken crown
Born in a cage just to burn it down
You made a monster
Taught me pain as truth
Now choke on the fury of your perfect proof
Savage genesis
I tear your kingdom through
I am your question
And I’m the answer too
[Bridge]
I see their faces
Reflected in mine
Every scar they etched
Copied line for line
Army of shadows
Same blood
Same scream
Are we the nightmare
Or are we the dream?
[Breakdown]
I am not your weapon
I am not your son
I am not your failure
I am the undone
I am every fracture
You tried to refine
I am not your legend
I am mine
All mine (all mine!)
[Chorus]
Savage genesis
I am the broken crown
Born in a cage just to burn it down
You made a monster
Taught me pain as truth
Now drown in the echo of your own abuse
Savage genesis
I tear your kingdom through
I am your question
And I’m the answer too
