They built me in your shadow’s glow
Wired nerves, a heart too slow
Said I was made to hold the plague
But I was just your living blade

You walked through chrome with gilded skin
While I decayed from deep within
Every upgrade, every slice
Bought you time—cost me life

I cried in silence, bled in code
While your empire only growed
I didn’t ask for any throne
Just not to die so you could own

If you had loved me
Even once, even wrong
Would you have let them use me this long?
My veins were circuits, my breath was yours
But all you cared for were open doors
If you had loved me
Would I still be this ghost?
Wired to hurt, designed to host
Now you sell salvation in neon lies
But I was the cost
And now, I rise

Every time I died, you knew
You watched the footage—they played it through
You said I was strong, said I could take
But I was breaking for your sake

You're not immune, I’ve seen the scan
Your rot grows quiet in your hands
You chase the beast to stay divine
But I’ll reach it first—redesign the line

Greta found her way in flame
I’ll tear the parasite from its name
Either cure, or end the line
But you won't live past my design

If you had loved me
Even once, even wrong
Would you have let them hurt me this long?
I burned so you could taste control
But now I’m done playing the role
If you had loved me
I might’ve stayed
But now I’m the storm
That burns your blade

When I come, I’ll wear your sin
Wrapped in rage and chrome-scarred skin
I was never meant to live—but I am
And you? You’ll die knowing what I became

You should have loved me.
