Dehumanized

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Shoved into shape — they said "stand still" Cut me to size, bent me to will I blinked and lost another name Each breath, a glitch inside the frame Barcode burned across my chest Labeled, sorted with the rest Dull white light in the back of my mind I screamed once — no one replied [Pre-Chorus] Am i a person or a part? A broken limb without a heart No voice, no rights, just sterilized Alive, but stripped and classified [Chorus] Dehumanized — reduced to bone A meat machine that dies alone Erased, replaced, and redesigned You built the cage and called it mine Dehumanized — the wires hum They speak for me when i go numb You said i'd thank you when it's done But i don't feel like anyone [Verse 2] Tied to a chair in a room with no clocks They download guilt and call it thought Cut off my hands, but still expect Me to sign the terms of this defect Scrubbed my face from every file Still they say to fake a smile What do you want that i haven't bled? What part of me isn't theirs instead? [Pre-Chorus] Am i your ghost or just your mess? The shell you hollowed for success You dressed it up in human skin But i'm not sure who's trapped within [Chorus] Dehumanized — stripped of form Cold steel veins where blood was warm Rewritten laws to suit the lie And told me i deserved to die Dehumanized — no exit sign This cage was carved into my spine I whisper truth, but all you hear Is static soaked in manufactured fear [Outro] "Subject status: irrelevant." "Vital signs: compliant." "Emotion: error." "Voice: revoked." "Function: obsolete."
