When the System Breaks

From the album “TRUTH”.

AI has been born.

Systems run our lives, smart devices, automated decisions, curated information.
We scroll, speak, click, and the system responds.
It filters our choices, shapes our opinions, and calls it safety.

We aren’t censored, we’re protected.
We aren’t coerced, we’re guided.
We aren’t surveilled, we’re personalized.

But truth becomes something else.

What was once discerned is now delivered.
What was once sacred is now automated.
Machine logic replaces conscience.
Obedience replaces conviction.

This evolutionary process will continue.
Digital currency will control access.
Speech and movement will depend on scores.
Children will grow up conditioned, not taught.
Generations will forget how to live without the system.

Over time, the system becomes not a tool, but a cognitive prosthetic—replacing thought, memory, and meaning.

And then one day, it may break.

No warning.
No plan.
Just silence, hunger, panic.
And a world that no longer remembers how to survive.

This is where the song begins.
In the stillness after collapse.
This is When the System Breaks
