Born in the Matrix
Intro
Wake up.
Dress up.
Show up.
Reset.
Verse 1
Seven sharp, the same sunrise
Coffee black and coded eyes
Take the train, repeat the ride
Smile on cue and step inside
Same old jokes, the same old names
Same small talk, the same small games
Clock me in, then count my pay
Pay the bills and fade away
Pre-Chorus
Something skips inside the scene
Something cracks behind the screen
Every face feels pre-arranged
Every day resets unchanged
Chorus
We were born in the Matrix
We were made to behave
In our perfect little sandbox
In our perfect little cage
Is there another world out there?
Was any of this real?
Are we really happy out there—
Or would you rather stay with me?
We were born in the Matrix
We were raised on the lies
And the only thing that feels real
Is the sadness in our eyes
Verse 2
Boss says, “Good,” I nod on time
Friends send hearts in perfect lines
Mother calls, I say I’m fine
Every answer pre-designed
Swipe the feed and buy the dream
Neon love across the screen
Eat, consume, perform, pretend
Charge me up and start again
Pre-Chorus
Something slips behind the scene
Static crawling through the screen
Every word feels copied twice
Every smile has the same price
Chorus
We were born in the Matrix
We were made to behave
In our perfect little sandbox
In our perfect little cage
Is there another world out there?
Was any of this real?
Are we really happy out there—
Or would you rather stay with me?
Bridge
Can you hear me through the glass?
Can you make this moment last?
Make me yours, but make me real
Show me something I can feel
Final Chorus
We were born in the Matrix
We were made to behave
In our perfect little sandbox
In our perfect little cage
Maybe there’s a world out there
Maybe none of this was real
But if everything is scripted—
Why does loving you still feel real?
We were born in the Matrix
We were raised on the lies
And the only thing that feels real
Is the sadness in our eyes
Outro
Wake up.
Dress up.
Show up.
Reset.
