Lyrics

They tried to mute the static
Stitch my mouth with code
I spit through firewall smoke
Watch the paper choke on its own ode
Red pen on a heartbeat
Headlines bleed in slow-mo
I walk the wire between the feed and the gallows
Let the truth glow
I came from the basement of the broadcast
Basement of the broadcast
Where the anchors wear crowns made of hashtags and broadcast
Algorithms baptize the lies
Holy scrolls in a server vault
They sanitize the riot, sanitize the riot, sanitize the fault
Pixel prophets preaching, sell the sermon in a loop
Cut the chorus from the chorus
Mute the proof, then recoup
They clip my syllables like wings
Call it balance, call it news
But balance is a scale with one side chained
And the other used
I map the censorship like cartography of scars
Every redaction a constellation
Every silence a star
They teach us to whisper in capitals
Whisper in caps
Turn a human into a headline
Turn a heartbeat into a trap
They feed us filtered oxygen
Call it air, call it care
We breathe the same lie different names
Inhale the thin affair
I cough up truth in syllables
Spit it raw into the glare
If silence is a currency
Then I'm bankrupt and I swear
Cut the tape, break the frame
I refuse to be erased
They paint my voice in margins
Try to hide me in the haze
I'm the static in your signal
The crack in your parade
Censor me, I multiply —
I'm the echo that you made
Politicians play chess with the truth
Kings made of cheap veneer
They move pawns through press rooms
Smile while they engineer fear
Spin the wheel, sell the reel
Package poison as a cure
They legislate the silence
Then they lecture on the pure
Friends become editors, trimming edges of your name
They clip your laughter from the footage
Sanitize the flame
Conversations turn to contracts
Signed in invisible ink
We trade our tongues for safety nets
Then wonder why we sink
I see the whisper networks
Velvet ropes and velvet knives
They curate who's allowed to breathe
Who's allowed to live their lives
Cancel the nuance, cancel the nuance
Cancel the debate
Replace the messy human truth with a tidy
Sterilized fate
Listen — the microphone is hungry
It eats the edges of the day
It chews the verbs, it chews the verbs
Leaves nouns in disarray
They call it moderation
Call it moderation, call it care
But moderation is a muzzle
When the muzzle's everywhere
I write in margins, in the margins I revolt, I
Nk like acid, letters like bolts, I jolt the vault
You can black out my name
But not the shape of my shout
You can bury the sentence
But the sentence finds a route
I'm the graffiti on the feed, the tag across the feed
I'm the footnote in the treaty that they forgot to read
I spit in dialects they fear
Syllables that bruise
I'm the rumor that becomes a riot
When the silence starts to lose
They wiretap empathy, monetize the ache
Turn compassion into content
Then sell it back as fake
I watch the cameras blink like vultures in a row
They film the fall, they film the fall
Then edit out the blow
So I scream in binary
I scream in analog
I scream in bone
I carve my name in static
Make the static into stone
If censorship's a kingdom
I'm the plague at the gate
I'll infect the palace with the words
They tried to negate
So keep your red pens, keep your lists
Keep your quiet courts
I'll keep my mouth a mortar
Load my lines with mortar ports
Every silence is a rumor, every rumor is a seed
You can prune the tree of language
But the roots will still proceed
I'm not asking for permission
I'm not begging for a stage
I'm a virus in the broadcast
I'm the footnote in your page
When they try to bury voices
They forget the underground
We grow louder in the dark
We grow louder without sound
