Lyrics

They don't need to break you
They just need you trained
They don't need to break you
They just need you trained
Newsfeed gospel, drip-fed dread
Soft-lit cages in your head
They sell the cure, then sell the cause
Then call it order in the laws
Every crisis comes with branding
Every help comes with a hand in
Your pocket, your mouth, your name
Smile for the camera, play the game
Keep it civil
Keep it sweet
Keep your anger on a leash
Speak in slogans
Don't get loud
Don't disturb the sacred crowd
They call it safety
I call it scripted control
A velvet warning
With a price on your soul
Stay calm, stay useful
Stay easy to steer
They don't want violence
They just want you to disappear
They count your hours like they count your worth
Turn your days into company dirt
When you break, they offer care
A hotline prayer and blank stare
They love the strong, they shame the weak
They crown the thief as something sleek
And if you question the machine
They label you the enemy
Hold your tongue
Hold your breath
Be polite until you're dead
Sign the form
Take the blame
Let them rebrand all your pain
They call it safety
I call it scripted control
A velvet warning
With a price on your soul
Stay calm, stay useful
Stay easy to steer
They don't want violence
They just want you to disappear
They'll call this anger
They'll call this anger
Like it came from nowhere
Like it came from nowhere
Like it wasn't engineered
I'm done being quiet, for a system that feeds
On comfortable lies, and compliant repeats
You want me numb, you want me small
So I bite the wire, and burn the wall
No more be patient, no more be nice
You took the years, you took the price
So here's the sound of the mask coming off
One heavy moment
Let it drop
They'll call this anger
They'll call this anger
They'll call this anger
Like it came from nowhere
Like it wasn't engineered
Like it wasn't always there
They call it safety
I call it scripted control
A velvet warning
With a price on your soul
Stay calm, stay useful
Stay easy to steer
They don't want violence
They just want you to disappear
And when you finally speak
They'll swear the world was always fair
