[Verse 1]
Flicker screen
cold blue glare
Cracked phone face
shows me dead stare
Bite my tongue
till the copper runs
Scroll through ash
while the planet suns
Cheap white pills
in a Ziploc bag
Every little tap
is a red-flag drag
You sell hope
by the metric ton
But it's salt in the wound
till the nerve goes numb
[Chorus]
You put your teeth in the static
you feed on every little panic
You turn my fear into traffic
(are you happy now?)
I see the code in your smile
You stitch my hate into style
I won't be part of your file
I’m burning out
I’m burning out
[Verse 2]
Every word
is a quiet cut
Sweet brand lie
with a razor gut
You dress chains
up as "choice" and "care"
But the fine print laughs
'cause it knows the snare
Sleep deprived
chasing phantom praise
Heart rate spiked
by the empty praise
I'm wide awake
in a dead-end loop
You call it "life"
I call it the noose
[Chorus]
You put your teeth in the static
you feed on every little panic
You turn my fear into traffic
(are you happy now?)
I see the code in your smile
You stitch my hate into style
I won't be part of your file
I’m burning out
I’m burning out
[Bridge]
Strip the mask
tear the brand from bone
Say my name
till it stands alone (hey!)
If your love
comes with terms and tags
I’ll rip it out
with the barcode flags
[Chorus]
You put your teeth in the static
you feed on every little panic
You turn my fear into traffic
(are you happy now?)
I see the code in your smile
You stitch my hate into style
I’m pulling wires from the dial
I’m cutting out
I’m cutting out
