Breaking the Loom

{intimate felt piano chords,

warm

analog synthesizer drone, gentle static crackle}

I wake to a hum in the wires

Flickering screens paint the sky

They sell me a box of desires

And tell me my memories don't lie

But I feel the static inside

Invisible threads in the air

Weaving the lines we should say

But I see the trap in the snare

And I'm cutting the strings today

{piano arpeggios intensify, strings enter} I am not your script

You will never write my story

Break the system, smash the frame

I am not a number,

not a name

No, I am not your script

{powerful sweeping piano, roaring cello ensemble} Synthetic voices decay

Collapsing illusions of light

They try to erase yesterday

But human hearts beat in the night

We are more than the codes they design

Let the Loom unravel down (let it fall,

let it fall) We are waking in this town

With the courage to stand tall

{dramatic piano solo, soaring orchestral peak} I

am not your script

You will never write my story

Break the system, smash the frame

I am not a number,

not a name

No, I am not your script (never write it,

no!) I am

free. (I

write my own way) {piano notes slowly ringing out,

soft strings fading to

a single note}
