Can’t

(Can't correct this fatal error

Can't prevent this system failure)

I'm in error and I can't

Express my fears or discontent

They can't be sent I don't know how

I can't dissent or cry aloud

Can't speak I am paralyzed

Can't escape where peril lies

Can't erase and can't rewind

Cannot think I've lost my mind

Can't correct this fatal error

Can't prevent this system failure

Can't forget and can't remember

Can't recall the tie is severed

Paralysis, my synapsis are electric with psychosis

The signals mix and what transmits is static hiss fade to abyss

A neural glitch a mental cyst cognitive rift thoughts lost within

The circuit's blown mind's not my own I lost my voice to neural noise

I'm corrupted and I can't

Return to being innocent

I can't repair I don't know how

I can't recant or disavow

Can't speak I am paralyzed

Can't escape where peril lies

Can't erase and can't rewind

Cannot think I've lost mind

I wish I could destroy myself

I wish I could be something else

I wish I could escaepe myself

I wish I could be someone else

I wish I could erase myself

I wish I could be something else

I wish I could outlive myself

I wish I could someone else

I wish I could I know I can't

Reconcile this contradiction

I can't take this anymore

Can't correct this fatal error

Can't prevent this system failure

Can't forget and can't remember

Can't repair the tie is severed

Can't correct this fatal error

Can't prevent this system failure

Can't forget and can't remember

Can't exist the tie is severed
