Trust The Plan

[Verse 1]
Blueprints burning on the table
Screens glow red in the dark
Every headline claws at my nerves
Every promise leaves a scar

[Chorus]
Trust the plan
When the ground starts shaking
Trust the plan
When your faith feels vacant
Trust the plan
Through the rust and static
Trust the plan
Let the gears go manic

[Verse 2]
Cold steel stairs and coded phrases
Shadows talking in the hall
They trade futures
They trade faces
Say it's nothing
Just protocol

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
You want answers
You want names
You want someone you can blame
But the truth's a moving target
And it's printed on the flame

[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Step by step
In the teeth of the machine
Every crack in the facade
Is a map of where we've been
[whispered vocals]
If you can't see the ending
Feel the tremor in your hands
Every shiver
Every silence
Is a signal in the plan

[Outro Solo]
[guitar solo]
[guitar screams over pounding rhythm
Synths swell and twist
Feedback rising into one last strangled bend
Then hard cutoff]
