Rina Kaze - Headliner Static Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Silk-screen smiles and rehearsed replies
Trading truth for magazine lies
Corner office, golden cage
My name in lights on every page
But static fills my head tonight
These fluorescent dreams don't feel right

[Pre-Chorus]
They say "Play nice, stay in line"
While they're rewriting my design
Can't recognize my own damn face
In this high-stakes masquerade

[Chorus]
I'm your headliner static
Perfectly programmed and tragic
Watch me glitch out, fantastic
While you sell my soul for ratings
Headliner static
Behind these eyes so plastic
Watch it all turn drastic
When the real me's breaking through

[Verse 2]
Kawasaki girl gone digital
They loved my edge, made it minimal
Polished chrome and factory shine
Now I'm just a bottom line
Every "yes" feels like defeat
As my reflection's incomplete

[Bridge]
System error, code red alert
Designer labels hide the hurt
Broadcast me in HD pain
While suits count their profit gain
F*ck your algorithm dreams
Nothing's ever what it seems

[Chorus]
I'm your headliner static
Perfectly programmed and tragic
Watch me glitch out, fantastic
While you sell my soul for ratings
Headliner static
Behind these eyes so plastic
Watch it all turn drastic
When the real me's breaking through

[Outro]
Signal's breaking down
Crown's falling off now
Frequencies of truth
Finally breaking through
Your perfect puppet's cutting strings
Static never sounded so f*cking clean
