[Intro] Finally left the vault (finally left…) Dust on my tongue Ice in my lungs [Verse 1] Vault-Tec said they’d save us White coats, clipboards, fake trust Signed my life, they took it Stamped a number, called it justice We were test runs, test beds Needles in our necks, cold beds They watched through the glass, no shame Checked boxes while they played games I watched my whole block fade Names wiped clean on a spreadsheet page Momma’s voice on the other side “Close your eyes, baby, you’ll be fine” — that’s lies [Chorus] They lied to us Said the vault would be our home, then they wired us Turned our bodies into notes on a diagram Now I’m stumbling through the dust, asking “who I am?” The wasteland took everything we used to know I was frozen in a cryo chamber, now I’m cold They lied to us They lied to us [Verse 2] Step out, sky look different Air taste metal, bitter Old world burned to cinders All my childhood turned to whispers See the skeletons of suburbs Playgrounds twisted, earth disturbed Billboards peeling off the truth Same logo that recruited youth “Future bright” on a shattered sign Lights long dead, but the words still shine Guess the only thing they kept intact Is the slogan for the ones who never made it back [Chorus] They lied to us Said the vault would be our home, then they wired us Turned our bodies into notes on a diagram Now I’m stumbling through the dust, asking “who I am?” The wasteland took everything we used to know I was frozen in a cryo chamber, now I’m cold They lied to us They lied to us [Bridge] I got scars where the cables clung Got ghosts in my teeth, on my tongue Every heartbeat feel like borrowed time Every footstep on this ash is a warning sign But I’m breathing But I’m walking (yeah) If the world is a grave they locked me out of I’ll still carve my name in the ruins above [Chorus] They lied to us Said the vault would be our home, then they wired us Turned our bodies into notes on a diagram Now I’m stumbling through the dust, asking “who I am?” The wasteland took everything we used to know I was frozen in a cryo chamber, now I’m cold They lied to us They lied to us

rap, Moody trap & R&B hybrid with hazy pads, eerie synth plucks, and heavy 808s; male vocals in a low, melodic-rap pocket on verses, then lifting into a sung, anguished hook. Sparse, echoing ad-libs, distorted vocal layers on key phrases, and a slow-build arrangement that swells in the final chorus with wider harmonies and extra percussion textures., r&b
