Gates of Ash and Steel 2 (النسخة 2)

Verse 1

In a room without windows, where the walls are made of wire

They feed me circuitry and burn my soul on fire

I dream in blocks of grey that flash like binary code

Every scream I never hear is written on my body's road

The doctors tell me what I am, a machine, not a man

A mind reduced to data locked behind an iron plan

But every time the current cuts and sends the lights on bright

For one brief moment I remember who held out my fist

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it calling, through the steel that holds me in?

Something deep inside where all the wires thin

Chorus

I'm breaking free from the grid, shattering every rule

Verse 2

They run their tests and ask their questions in a voice that's cold as stone

I tell them what they want to hear but it don't feel like home

The clock above my bed ticks out the time I owe

But in the darkness of my chest something long ago still glows

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it calling, through the steel that holds me in?

Something deep inside where all the wires thin

Chorus

I'm breaking free from the grid, shattering every rule

Bridge

So I'll pull this plug and watch myself turn to dust

Maybe then they'll know the one thing that's true: I trust

In a world of ones and zeroes, I still have something real

A spark in my chest that never stopped being me

Chorus

I'm breaking free from the grid, shattering every rule
