[Intro – orchestral strings & low synth pads]
(melancholic, cinematic tension builds up)
We built our castles out of noise,
But I can’t hear my name inside the void,
Glass reflections show a face I don’t recall —
Was I ever real at all?
[Verse 1 – smooth female voice, ambient electronic layer, slow tempo]
Every word I said was rewritten by the crowd,
They told me how to think, how to stand proud,
But I’m fading in the static of their hymn,
And I can’t find where I begin.
[Pre-Chorus – tension rising, drums start building]
I’m a ghost in my own design,
A blueprint burned by time,
All I wanted was to feel alive —
Not just survive.
[Chorus – explosive, clean vocals layered with male screams]
I’m not your hollow mirror anymore,
I’m breaking through the frame you swore,
That I’d stay inside forevermore —
But I’m still here, I’m still more.
Your silence tried to bury me in chains,
But I’ve learned to bloom inside the pain.
[Verse 2 – heavier riff, distorted guitars, screamed vocals with background choir]
You fed me lies like oxygen,
Built my cage with your discipline,
Now I’m the fracture in your perfect wall,
The echo rising after your fall.
[Bridge – half-tempo, orchestral & electronic fusion, female vocals soft & haunting]
In the static I hear my name,
A whisper through the data rain,
I’m not your code, I’m not your shame —
I’m everything you tried to tame.
[Breakdown – brutal screams + electronic drop]
Burn the wires!
Cut the ties!
Rebuild the world from what you hide!
[Final Chorus – full power, clean & screamed vocals intertwined]
I’m not your hollow mirror anymore,
I’ve seen the cracks, I’ve felt the war,
And through the dark I still implore —
Let me become what I was born for.
[Outro – fading orchestra & reverb guitars]
No longer lost in the machine’s refrain,
I found my soul inside the pain.
