[Intro]

[Machine Noise & Whispers]
System fault
Body glitch
Incoming crash
No reset switch

[Verse 1]
Wake up broken—again
Different day, same war within
Skin feels electric, bones on fire
Trapped beneath invisible barbed wire
They say "mind over matter"
But matter is tearing me apart
This isn’t weakness—it’s the fight
To survive a body falling apart

[Pre-Chorus]
Their cure is silence
Their help is blame
But I keep moving
Through aches and pain

[Chorus]
I am not their sympathy
Not a cause, not their tragedy
Nerves are faulty circuitry, bones rusted steel,
But every jolt I feel
They don’t see what breaks inside
They just see the mask I wear to hide
I'm not weak—I'm running hot
Fighting battles a system forgot
Permanent Error!
Permanent Error!
Permanent Error!

[Verse 2]
Schedule ruled by pills and pain
Forecast locked in nerve and strain
They talk solutions like a prayer
But I’m the one chained to this metaphorical chair
Stares like scanners, judgment scans
“Must be faking,” “Look, they stand”
You don’t see the reboot cost
The hours, the strength, the energy lost

[Pre-Chorus]
This isn’t life, it’s adaptation
Each breath a forced calibration

[Chorus]
I am not their sympathy
Not a cause, not their tragedy
Nerves are faulty circuitry, bones rusted steel
But every shock I still feel
They don’t see what breaks inside
They just see the mask I wear to hide
I'm not weak—I'm running hot
Fighting battles a system forgot
Permanent Error!
Permanent Error!
Permanent Error!

[Break]

[Bridge – Mechanical Break, Spoken Over Industrial Beat]
Chronic isn’t a phase
It’s the architecture of every day
I don’t “get better”—I persist
Through every crash, every twist

[Breakdown – Distorted Vocal & Crushing Beat]
Permanent error—diagnosed and denied
Permanent error—rewired and alive
Permanent error—no end, just loop
Permanent error—and still, I move

[Final Chorus – Slower, Heavy Layered Vocals]
I am not their sympathy
Not their pity, not their prophecy
I am forged in endless strain
Redesigning strength from pain
They'll never know the toll it takes
To wear a smile while my body breaks
But I’m still here, and I won’t rot
I am the system your world forgot

[Outro – Low, Mechanical Whispers]
System reboot incomplete
Vital signs: adapt… repeat
