I'm Not a Patient, I'm a Payment
hard rock
Verse 1 Neon lights in the waiting room glow, Cold steel beds, hear the cash flow low, They scan my face, know my DNA, But they don’t know my name, just what I pay. Screens talk loud, but the doc don’t look, Swipe my pain in a digital book, Heart on hold while the servers hum, Life on pause till the payments come. Pre-Chorus White walls whisper, sign right here, Fear in my chest, yeah they farm that fear, Every symptom got a brand-new code, Every code got a price tag load. Chorus / Hook I’m not a patient, I’m a payment plan, Barcode soul in a cold white land, They don’t see me, they just see the debt, Healing hearts with a data set. I’m not a patient, I’m a payment sign, Clock on my life, but it’s owned by time, Tryna buy back the breath I lost, In a world where mercy got a cost. Verse 2 AI voice say, please remain calm, While it sells me hope in a pill-sized bomb, Got a cure on hold, got a test on repeat, Run my blood like a crypto scheme. Doctor tired, yeah I see his eyes, He a cog in the gears of a golden lie, Wanna save my life but he stuck in the game, ‘Cause the system don’t run on shame. Pre-Chorus Another scan, another fee, They know my sickness better than me, Upload pain to a cloud so high, While my future on a dotted line. Chorus / Hook I’m not a patient, I’m a payment plan, Barcode soul in a cold white land, They don’t see me, they just see the debt, Healing hearts with a data set. I’m not a patient, I’m a payment sign, Clock on my life, but it’s owned by time, Tryna buy back the breath I lost, In a world where mercy got a cost. Bridge If I’m just numbers in your machine, Tell me, where does the human live in between? Pulse on a screen, flatline dreams, Is there a cure for a world this mean? Pull the plug on the greed inside, Let a little light through the metal blinds, ‘Cause I don’t need gold, I don’t need fame, Just wanna be more than a line with my name. Break / Drop Not a patient! Just a payment! Heart still beating but they count the statements! Chorus / Final Hook I’m not a patient, I’m a payment plan, Born to live, but priced by man, They don’t heal us, they just delay, Till the money dry and we fade away. I’m not a patient, hear me say, I’m more than numbers you display, I’m flesh and fire, I’m breath and pain, Not a patient — I’m breaking chains! Outro Neon fades in the morning light, Still alive, yeah I won that fight, But in my chest and in my brain, I know this world runs on profit and pain
