Songs of the Broken

Choose Your Character

I'm a glitch in the system, a crack in the screen

Button smash my mind just to keep it clean

Player one, player two, who am I to be?

Lost in a level with no in-between

I can not be the savior you see

Not the chosen one, not an NPC

I'm not your hero, not your sidekick in pain

I'm the villain you made, the boss you can't tame

So choose your character, mask or skin

We're all just players in a game we can't win

Level up or self-destruct

Which version of me are you gonna get?

Press start, control your fate

Will you break the code, or be erased?

Got checkpoints to save what's left of me

But the ghosts keep chasing, I can barely breathe

Grinding through shadows, running from past lives

Every step I take pulls me deeper inside

I'm the anti-hero they warned you about

Rage builds up, I'm leveling out

It's a solo mission, no backup to call

One chance to stand or lose it all

So choose your character, mask or skin

We're all just players in a game we can't win

Level up or self-destruct

Which version of me are you gonna get?

Press start, control your fate

Will you break the code, or be erased?

No cheat codes here, no way to reset

The game keeps playing, no signs of rest

I'm speeding forward with nowhere to turn

A power-up crash, the circuits burn

Joystick broken, my hands are scarred

The game's too real, hits too hard

From pixel lights to neon dreams

Fighting for purpose in endless screens

So choose your character, mask or skin

We're all just players in a game we can't win

Level up or self-destruct

Which version of me are you gonna get?

Press start, control your fate

Will you break the code, or be erased?

I'll respawn again, I'll respawn again

Choose my own story, lose or win

Can't hit pause, so here I stand

The game's in my blood, I'll take my command
