The Algorithm's Claw

[Intro]
[Verse]
Clocking in at the iron door
Static hum on the concrete floor
Scanning boxes in the gray
Thirteen hours until the day
Red lights blink inside my head
Follow where the logic’s led
[Pre-Chorus]
Eyes on the ceiling, eyes on the wall
Waiting for the system to call
Efficiency is the only law
Hidden in the metal claw
[Chorus]
I’m just a ghost in the sorting line
Trading my pulse for the digital shine
Keep the pace, don’t fall behind
They own the body, not the mind
Beep, scan, move, repeat
Victory is bittersweet
[Post-Chorus]
(System online)
(Pulse is fine)
(Stay in line)
[Verse]
Frayed fingertips on the heavy tape
Planning out a slow escape
Forklift rumbles through the dark
Looking for a human spark
Wrote a joke on a shipping tag
Hiding it inside the bag
[Pre-Chorus]
Sensor tracking every breath I take
Counting every small mistake
Efficiency is the only law
Hidden in the metal claw
[Chorus]
I’m just a ghost in the sorting line
Trading my pulse for the digital shine
Keep the pace, don’t fall behind
They own the body, not the mind
Beep, scan, move, repeat
Victory is bittersweet
[Bridge]
Error flash, system crash
Turn the human heart to ash
Circuit fizz, modular scream
Wake me from this metal dream
Red alert, red alert
How much efficiency can hurt?
[Hook]
I am the glitch
I am the switch
I am the glitch
In the system
[Chorus]
I’m just a ghost in the sorting line
Trading my pulse for the digital shine
Keep the pace, don’t fall behind
They own the body, not the mind
Beep, scan, move, repeat
Victory is bittersweet
[Post-Chorus]
(System online)
(Pulse is fine)
(Stay in line)
[Outro]
