At least I'll know

[Verse 1] Wires and whispers in the neon haze, I thought I knew the sun, I thought I'd seen the days, But every step I took was a program's design, A ghost in the machine, a shadow in the line. I woke up screaming in a silent room, The taste of metal, the hum of the tomb, My hands were real, but the world was a lie, A mirror of the sky that never touched my eyes. [Chorus] Break the glass, but the light will fade, Pull the plug, and the dream's betrayed, Every heartbeat's a borrowed thread, In the Matrix, where the living are dead. [Verse 2] I saw the faces in the crowded street, All their laughter, all their heartbeat's beat, But under the skin, a code runs deep, A lullaby they sing while they sleep. I touched the wall and it felt like stone, But the truth was cold, and I was alone, A prisoner of thought, a king of dust, In a kingdom built on broken trust. [Bridge] What if I tear the sky apart? What if I silence the electric heart? Would the ones I love still breathe the air, Or vanish like a ghost in the static glare? [Chorus] Break the glass, but the light will fade, Pull the plug, and the dream's betrayed, Every heartbeat's a borrowed thread, In the Matrix, where the living are dead. [Outro] So I'll walk the line between the real and the wire, Holding onto hope, feeding on the fire, If the system falls, we all may fall too, But at least I'll know the sky was true.
