Skinjob

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Cut from the mold, sold as new Wrapped me in skin, said "this is you" Stitched with fear, sealed with doubt A voice inside keeps glitching out Mirror says i should feel whole But there's wires buried in my soul Face is smooth, the mask fits tight But i can't sleep without a fight [Pre-Chorus] Every inch of me's a fake Synthetic soul they had to make If i bleed, will it prove them wrong? Or just show what's been dead all along? [Chorus] I wear this skin like stolen clothes It fits too well, so no one knows But underneath, i twitch and rot I feel too much for what i'm not They built me cheap, they built me fast A copy made to never last I'm not your son, i'm not your god I'm just your favoritе skinjob fraud [Verse 2] Burn the name they brandеd in Says "property" beneath the skin Your love was code, your touch was cold You never cared what you controlled I learned to smile, i learned to crawl You taught me well — then watched me fall Is this machine what i deserve? Or am i more than what you serve? [Pre-Chorus] Every thought they said was mine Was typed and traced and predesigned If i scream, will it make a sound? Or loop forever underground? [Chorus] I wear this skin like borrowed light But it peels away when i'm alone at night Beneath the suit, beneath the shell There's just a thing you couldn't sell They built me quick, they made me clean Erased my past, rewrote my dreams You made me sick, you made me flawed I'm just your broken skinjob god [Bridge] "function… identity… conflict error…" "object recognized: regret" I wasn't born — i was deployed You filled my head and called it "void" You said "be human" — then you lied So now i burn from deep inside [Final Chorus] I wear this skin like a fucking joke A mask to hide the static smoke But underneath, i'm still awake A ghost you failed to fabricate They built me wrong, they made me feel They tried to break what wasn't real But i still see, and i still breathe — And i will never let you leave
