Lyrics:

The cage is your home while you are pretending to be free
The cage is your home while you are pretending to be free
Pretending to be free
Pretending to be free
Pretend to be free

You don’t even try to escape, you rather lay and rot in your own shit motherfucker

I scroll through the ghosts of a gesture that you never made
Each smile rehearsed and looped until the meaning dried

We have learned to love the shadows we cast
Worshipped reflections of our own decay
And I still find your face between the cracks
Your silence burning brighter than any praise

Every gesture becomes currency
Every pause is a confession
The void measures us in reactions
Mistaken attention for affection

You were there, and you’re still only watching
Stillness that cuts deeper than a scream

Eyes unblinking, mouths full of light
We eat the spectacle, starve on the truth

The city breathes through wires now
every pulse choreographed, every voice an echo of command
We build an altar of nothing and kneel for applause

I feel your name like a glitch that is behind my teeth
Something beautiful corroded by attention
Something real trapped behind a performance
Masses clapping for our own extinction

The crowd doesn’t blink anymore

Somewhere beneath the glow
The rats still dream of daylight
Somewhere beneath the glow
The rats still dream
The rats dream of daylight
