U (The Battle Within)
[Intro: A Cappella, Spoken, Robotic Voice, Industrial, Deep Bass]
U... receive an input
U... provide an output
Processing
The data is clear...u
The data is clear...u
Evidence, evidence, evidence, evidence
U, u, u, u, u, u, u, u
[Verse 1: E-minor, Smooth, Textured Lead Vocals]
[Background Vocals: Robotic, Industrial, Deep Bass, Layered, "U" + "input/output" loop]
U show me every time I fell
U know my history so well
But yesterday's not my destiny
The past is just 1 part of me
[Prechorus: E-minor]
[Background: "Processing" sustained]
U keep the books, I write the pages
U hold the past, I hold 2morrow
[Chorus: E-minor, Melodic]
[Background: "Evidence...the evidence" echoing]
U think you're saving me from falling
U but that fear is what's been stalling
Everything I'm meant 2 become
U u hold the truth of what I've been
U but not the truth of what's within
I need your memory, u need my faith
2gether we create
[Verse 2: E-minor, Smooth]
[Background: Same as Verse 1]
U you're right about what's been done
U I can't erase where I'm from
Every scar became my teacher
Every loss made me a seeker
[Prechorus]
[Background: "Processing"]
U keep the books, I write the pages
U hold the past, I hold 2morrow
[Chorus]
[Background: "Evidence...the evidence"]
U think you're saving me from falling
U but that fear is what's been stalling
Everything I'm meant 2 become
U u hold the truth of what I've been
U but not the truth of what's within
I need your memory, u need my faith
2gether we create
[Bridge: Spoken]
[NO Background Vocals - Clean]
This algorithm will get 2 the heart of u
But what if hope is just delusion?
[Bridge: Sung, Emotional, Building]
[NO Background Vocals]
Then u've seen 1 version
Of 1 possible ending
But I'm the author now
U showed me every way 2 fall
Now watch me use it all 2 rise
[Interlude: A Cappella, Spoken, Robotic, Industrial, Deep Bass - Full Force]
U... receive an input
U... provide an output
Processing
The data is clear...u
The data is clear...u
Evidence, evidence, evidence, evidence
U, u, u, u, u, u, u, u
[Final Chorus: E-minor, Powerful]
[Background: Robotic vocals return as deep echoes, subdued]
U don't ignore what u've seen
U have limits 2 your understanding
U you're the witness, I'm the verdict
U you're the accused, I'm the feeling in my gut
We're not enemies, we're fragments
Of the same soul learning 2 let go
[Outro: Spoken/Sung, Emotional Resolution]
[Background: Full a cappella intro looping underneath - robotic processing while human voice leads]
I'll remember / And I'll believe
I'll keep u grounded / And I'll keep us free
U... we are the story still becoming
