Theo Nightshade - Frankfurt Protocol Lyrics

[Intro]
Cold calculations in this concrete maze
Where suits and ties dictate all our ways
Like pawns they push us 'round their board
While saxophones cry what can't be ignored

[Verse 1]
Frankfurt nights and neon signs
Playing chess with borrowed time
They said my sound ain't what they need
But freedom's what this cat must feed
Rejection letters pile up high
While bureaucrats just mystify

[Chorus]
I'm playing by my own damn rules
Won't let them treat me like their fool
This jazz ain't meant to make you dance
It's rebellion in a second chance
(In a second chance)

[Verse 2]
Digital dreams and analog heart
Tearing all their systems apart
They want me boxed in, nice and neat
But I flow free like city streets
Each note I play's a move I make
In this game of give and take

[Bridge]
The system thinks it's got me beat
But I've got rhythm in my feet
Breaking walls with every phrase
Rising through this concrete haze

[Chorus]
I'm playing by my own damn rules
Won't let them treat me like their fool
This jazz ain't meant to make you dance
It's rebellion in a second chance
(In a second chance)

[Outro]
So let them push their paper trails
While my saxophone prevails
'Cause in this cold war game of chess
My freedom's what I won't suppress
