[Intro]
Static sky
Chrome halo
Blood on code
I reload
[Verse 1]
Boots hit pavement, wires in my veins
Black band hoodie, rust on my chains
City on fire in the back of my mind
Every scar on my arm is a barcode line
Cyber cross hanging off my neck, chipped paint
Pray to the void, yeah, I’m half saint, half blank
Scroll through sins like a playlist gone wrong
Every click, every kick, every hit too strong
[Pre-Chorus]
I crash, I burn
I learn, then I unlearn
Can you feel that?
Can you feel that?
[Chorus]
I’m the angel of metal in a plastic world
Steel wings spread where the data swirls
Tears in my eyes, but the ash don’t fall
If the system is a cage, then I’ll break that wall
I’m the angel of metal, hear my circuits sing
Turn my hurt into a crown, into anything
If the system is a god, then I’ll end that king
[Verse 2]
Eyes like errors, red ring glow
Heart like a server about to blow
Mom said “grow up,” dad said “toughen”
I just built armor out of every concussion
Skate deck scars, stairwell fights
Graffiti my grief on suburban nights
Friends OD’d, got ghosts in the group chat
Talk to their avatars, they don’t talk back
[Pre-Chorus]
I rage, I shake
How much more can I take?
Do you feel that?
Do you feel that?
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Halo made of razor wire
Neon over funeral pyre
If I’m broken, let me shine from the crack [crescendo]
Let the whole pit scream it back, scream it back
[growled gang vocals]
“We don’t bow”
“We don’t break”
“We’re the glitch that the gods can’t erase”
[Chorus]
