Boot Sequence

Lyrics

Highlighted phrases are titles of songs in the catalog, including this song’s own.

Watch me boot this world with a Shifted Mind Crowds chase headlines and call it divine Feeds pump fury like it’s oxygen prime Truth gets throttled just to stall the decline Skip the slogans, I trace the streams Who makes money off a broken dream Same war painted with a brighter gleam Peace on pause while they sell the theme Timelines melt in a second of spin Faith polls power before facts get in Morals reload when the flash begins One side wins when the crowd logs in Opinion packs shipped pre sealed pre sold Install the rage, upgrade control Nobody reads they repost the goal Input emotion they output scroll Shortcuts cut context, profits ignite Facts don’t trend when the false feels right Marches misfire while the metrics rise Grief goes viral, empathy dies Red Flags shimmer in the echo cave Dream Season gone but the meme gets saved Neon Static crowns the enslaved They slap truth stickers on the lies they crave Every post’s a cue each view commands Free thought leased by invisible hands The screen that lifts you the same that brands Breath by breath you defend the scans Run that script don’t think just feel it They sell your fear you re deal it High on Goodbye while the crowd conceals it Edge gets blurred but the pain reveals it Run that script it loops you feed it Truth don’t trend ’cause the lies repeat it Steel Within I don’t half believe it Too awake to fake what the rest deleted I’m not clear of the noise, I’m conscious inside Counting the seconds that data’s supplied Short Circuit hearts overloaded with pride Faith in the feed like a holy guide Recalibrate empathy gauge the spike Catch the curve when the crowd hits like Algorithms chant what they think I like Opinion loops worship electric mics They say I’m cold ’cause I dare stay still Quiet ain’t fear, it’s a tempered will Integrity starves where the volume spills Peace don’t pay when division kills Seven Nights fade beneath blue glass Dreams hum silent as minutes pass Neon Static laughs through the mass The lie goes platinum, truth goes last Run that script don’t think just feel it They sell your fear you re deal it High on Goodbye while the crowd conceals it Edge gets blurred but the pain reveals it Run that script it loops you feed it Truth don’t trend ’cause the lies repeat it Steel Within I don’t half believe it Too awake to fake what the rest deleted Feedback eats itself alive Rage sells quick, grief survives Pain repackaged for clickbait drive Empathy crashes, numbers thrive Dissent auto flags where the bots patrol Questions marked false till false takes hold Headlines auction half a soul Politics profits, the rest grows cold I’m not your savior, I’m what’s left aware A cracked screen mirror reflection’s glare Shifted Mind roaring inside repair Both hands typing through electric prayer Dream season’s over corruption ascends Each new truth just a means to an end Control in costume easy to defend The mask smiles wide while the crowd pretends I Recalibrate logic, adjust my core Steel Within forged anti war Signal static but the mind wants more Logic’s my weapon, speech the store Plugged in still but I trace the strings Neon Static hums as the siren sings We all scroll blind till the conscience stings I fight in thoughts not puppet kings Run that script don’t think just feel it They sell your fear you re deal it High on Goodbye while the crowd conceals it Edge gets blurred but the pain reveals it Run that script it loops you feed it Truth don’t trend ’cause the lies repeat it Steel Within I don’t half believe it Too awake to fake what the rest deleted Run that script till the noise subsides Wake to a world where the screens can’t lie When the static drops and the room falls quiet You’ll hear your thoughts finally riot
