Alpha One

Verse 1
Alpha One, initiate the phase
No emotion, no delay
Vitals flat, response is clean
Thoughts suppressed beneath the screen

You won’t see panic, you won’t see pain
That part’s buried under code and strain
I move like I was trained to move
No room for doubt. Nothing to prove

Chorus
Alpha One, my final form
Built from the wreckage of every storm
You’ll see me smile, but it’s not real
It’s just the part I let you feel

I shut it off, I close the gate
I become the part that can’t break

Verse 2
I used to cry, I used to bleed
Now I just compute what I need
No questions, no second guess
Just calibrated emptiness

I laugh on cue, I speak in lines
It gets me through. Most of the time.
But when I sleep, I dream in static
Of who I was, before the damage

Chorus
Alpha One, my final form
Built from the wreckage of every storm
You’ll see me smile, but it’s not real
It’s just the part I let you feel

I shut it off, I close the gate
I become the part that can’t break

Bridge
You think I’m strong because I don’t cry
But strength is learning how to lie
I wear this mask, I load this gun
And call it coping when the feeling’s gone

Final Chorus
Alpha One, now you know
This isn’t bravery, it’s letting go
It’s silence worn like armor plates
A shadow walking through the weight

Outro
One last fail-safe. One last spin.
Alpha One, system check within
No pulse, no flame, no final scream
Just the shell of what I used to mean
