Silent Protocol

[Verse 1] In white halls where memories fade Counting bodies, papers filed away Mother's ghost still haunts these walls While sirens echo down the halls I learned to numb it all that day When trust became a price to pay [Chorus] Sterilize the pain away Watch the blood turn into grey We're just numbers on display In this fucking game we play Security won't save our souls When chaos takes its deadly toll [Verse 2] Tanaka-san, you showed your face Left me bleeding in this place Now I walk through metal frames Scanning crowds for signs of change The world's become a killing floor With cameras watching at the door [Bridge] Screaming silence in my head Dancing with the honored dead Cold precision, that's the way Keep the demons locked away But somewhere in this heart of stone A child still bleeds, still bleeds alone [Chorus] Sterilize the pain away Watch the blood turn into grey We're just numbers on display In this fucking game we play Security won't save our souls When chaos takes its deadly toll [Outro] In these halls of pristine white Where darkness hides in fluorescent light I've learned to wear this mask so well My mother's son became a shell But underneath this calm facade The storm still rages on and on
