Cold Storage [1]

[Verse 1] In sterile halls where memories freeze Mother's voice trapped in binary disease White coat wisdom, cold and clean While her spirit fades through the machine [Pre-Chorus] They say "stay strong, keep your head up high" But these recordings make me want to fucking cry Professional mask, I wear it well While inside I'm burning in digital hell [Chorus] Preserve me, preserve me In this frozen state of mind Save my soul in circuits deep Leave this human shell behind Screaming through the static now As my heart turns cold as steel Preserve me, preserve me Till I can no longer feel [Verse 2] Found her secrets locked away Voice recordings day by day Playing doctor with my pain While ambition drives me insane Balancing acts on razor wire Career goals and funeral pyres Tick-tock goes the hospital clock As my sanity starts to unlock [Bridge] Beep... beep... flatline Drawing boundaries in decline Mother's whispers through the noise Ghost in the machine, I've made my choice F*ck this system, f*ck these walls That keep us distant from it all [Chorus] Preserve me, preserve me In this frozen state of mind Save my soul in circuits deep Leave this human shell behind Screaming through the static now As my heart turns cold as steel Preserve me, preserve me Till I can no longer feel [Outro] In the end we're all just code Compressed emotions down this road Mother's voice still haunts these halls While I'm preserved behind these walls Preserved... preserved... Until there's nothing left to save
