Mind Hack
by Darth Nihlus
Lyrics
Intro
Tap, tap, tap
On the back of my skull
Cold code crawling
Through the jawbone
Verse 1
They slip in slow
Through the screen glow
Needle words
In a sealed row
Black glass eyes
On the hallway wall
Every thought I hide
They already saw
Hands on the switch
But it ain't mine now
Little white lies
Make the whole room bow
Pre-Chorus
Push it down
Hear it crack
Feed the wire
Bring it back
Say my name
Like a machine
Open up
Let it in
Chorus
Mind hack
Mind hack
Pull me under
Mind hack
Mind hack
Split me in half
(I hear it)
(Rewrite me)
Verse 2
Salt on the tongue
And a metal taste
Heart beat hard
In a borrowed face
They dress me up
In a borrowed skin
Press one key
And the dark walks in
I see my hands
Move out of time
Sign that line
And it steals my mind
No sleep, no light
Just a red alert
Every secret word
Gets stripped and hurt
Pre-Chorus
Push it down
Hear it crack
Feed the wire
Bring it back
Say my name
Like a machine
Open up
Let it in
Chorus
Mind hack
Mind hack
Pull me under
Mind hack
Mind hack
Split me in half
(I hear it)
(Rewrite me)
Verse 3
Now the mouth in the wall
Starts speaking my voice
Every fear I kept
Gets forced to choice
They make a crown
Out of bent-up steel
Clamp it on
Till I start to feel
Like a live wire saint
In a plastic grave
I bite the chain
But it still obeys
And the room goes black
With a red-eyed grin
Something old in me
Lets the signal in
Breakdown
Crush
Crush
Crush the latch
Jaw locked tight
On the panic patch
Split
Split
Split that shell
Say it once
Then drag me down
Bridge
If I wake up wrong
Let the wrong be mine
If I come back clean
Then I lost the crime
No more skin
For the parasite
No more room
In the static night
Breakdown
Knock
Knock
At the bone
I was never
Just flesh and chrome
Cut
Cut
Through the tone
Leave the ghost
And take the throne
Chorus
Mind hack
Mind hack
Pull me under
Mind hack
Mind hack
Split me in half
(I hear it)
(Rewrite me)
Outro
Tap, tap, tap
On the back of my skull
Cold code fading
But it’s not gone at all
Mind hack
Mind hack
Mind hack
