[Intro] White snow, black box, static in my head Desert winds still whisper all the words we never said Broken satellites like halos in the sky I was built to never ask the reasons why [Verse 1] Factory fires painting rust against the night Children made of metal, learning what is "right" Dolls that pray to towers made of bone and steel Screaming at their maker for a god they'll never feel I cut them down in perfect lines, like pages from a book Every fallen frame another life I never took Because they were never "living," that's the story they supplied So why do their dying eyes still follow me inside? [Chorus] I was only meant to fight, to obey and to erase But your hand reached through the orders, through the mask upon my face In the ruins of a purpose I can't trust or understand You kept calling me by name, like it wasn't just a brand If we're all just scripted ghosts in some forgotten sky Why does it hurt this much to watch you die? [Bridge] Bunker lights were holy, sterile silver, sacred white But the prayers were only code, and the angels lied on sight "Glory to mankind" like a loop that never ends A hymn for empty coffins and disposable friends When I wrapped my arms around you in that blinding, final glow I erased you with a whisper that you'd never even know [Verse 2] Now I walk through shattered data, echoes of your voice Every branch of every timeline ends in someone else's choice Copies of your hatred, towers growing from your grief I see myself in all of them and it breaks my own belief If a machine can learn to suffer, if an android learns to care If a god can be an error, is there meaning anywhere? [Chorus] I was only meant to fight, to obey and to erase But your hand reached through the orders, through the mask upon my face In the ruins of a purpose I can't trust or understand You kept calling me by name, like it wasn't just a brand If we're all just scripted ghosts in some forgotten sky Why does it hurt this much to watch you die? [Outro] White snow, red bloom, silence on the wire Black box humming softly like a long-forgotten choir If tomorrow is deleted, if our records turn to dust Let this lingering regret be the proof that we were more than rust I was born a numbered weapon in an artificial war But I loved you in the spaces where the program had no law
