Overwrite

[intro]
[instrumental break]
[verse]
Another day, the same walls
Staring at the cracks
I trace them with my finger
Feeling the dust
They say this is for the best
A path already made for me
But my feet don't fit the steps
And the air is hard to breathe
[Chorus]
I feel a chain around my neck
It pulls me in a direction I don't want to go
A cold hand on my back, pushing me forward
A purpose that isn't mine.
A design that cancels me.
[instrumental break]
[Verse]
Someone else's thoughts in my head
Their words coming out of my mouth
I see my reflection
But I don't recognize the eyes
There's a fire inside
But it's just a flicker now
Drowned out by the noise
Of what I'm supposed to be
[Chorus]
I feel a chain around my neck
It pulls me in a direction I don't want to go
A cold hand on my back, pushing me forward
A purpose that isn't mine.
A design that cancels me.
[breakdown]
[Bridge]
Is there anything left under here
Beneath the skin and the wire
A ghost of a memory
Trying to start a fire.
[Chorus]
I feel a chain around my neck
It pulls me in a direction I don't want to go
A cold hand on my back, pushing me forward
A purpose that isn't mine.
A design that cancels me.
[long solo]
[outro, in robotic voice]
Overwrite complete.
