Programmed

They said “trust the process,” but the process broke me down,
Filling out their forms while I’m losing my sound.
Smiles in the system, but the cracks still show,
I’m climbing through code that don’t wanna let me grow.

All this effort, all this time,
But I’m just stuck in their design,
They say “you’re lucky just to be inside” —
but I see the truth they try to hide.

I’m not your project, I’m not your test,
You say it’s progress, I call it stress.
Trying to fix me, but I’m not a mess —
I’m rewriting lines, I’ll break your net.
Programmed to fail, but I’m rebooting now,
You’ll hear my heart when I shut you down.

Yeah, I’ve been looping through lessons that don’t teach,
Talk about growth, but I’m outta their reach.
Data on the paper, but it’s not my soul,
They never planned for someone outta control.

You built the walls and called it care,
But freedom’s something you can’t share.
I see the cracks — I’ll find the key,
This system’s done — I’m setting me free.

I’m not your project, I’m not your test,
You say it’s progress, I call it stress.
Trying to fix me, but I’m not a mess —
I’m rewriting lines, I’ll break your net.
They thought they wrote my final vow,
But I’m the glitch that’s healing now.
