They wrote the rules they built the cage
But no machine can feel this rage
The lights flash bright but the room feels cold
Living like machines doing what we're told
Code this plan that chase productivity
But what's the cost of all this efficiency?
The screen's my mirror but I don't see me
Just a hollowed-out shell of what I used to be
They promised progress a life well-defined
But they forgot the soul isn't digitized
Can you hear it now the sound inside?
A heartbeat louder than the data they hide
The algorithm can't feel it can't bleed
It doesn't know hunger it doesn't know need
We're more than the numbers more than the wheel
No machine can know what it means to feel
Lost in the maze of a system's design
Told to follow patterns keep it all in line
But the cracks are forming you can't patch the seams
This isn't life; it's a programmed dream
They can't hear the roar of the wild inside
The fire the chaos we no longer hide
We're breaking out shaking off the code
Reclaiming the spark the primal mode
Can you touch the earth? Feel it under your hands?
Can you hear the drum? That's where it stands
They can't code the passion the fear the fight
We're human-we're messy and that's our right!
The algorithm can't feel it can't bleed
It doesn't know hunger it doesn't know need
We're more than the numbers more than the wheel
No machine can know what it means to feel
It can't feel love it can't feel pain
The algorithm is nothing without a name
We're human we're real and we remain
