📖 The Story
Trending Topic: Discord face scan requirement — After a data breach exposed 70,000 user IDs, Discord announced mandatory face scans and ID verification for all users starting March 2026. According to The Hill, users will need to submit a video selfie for facial age estimation or a form of identification.
The irony was too perfect to ignore: a platform that just failed to protect your data is now demanding the most personal thing you have — your face. "You lost my information, and now you want my biometrics?" That's not security. That's audacity.
We wrote it as industrial rock because the sound matches the theme — cold electronic textures meeting human rage, machine demanding compliance cut through with defiant refusal. The hook "You broke the vault and want the safe" captures that absurd logic of companies that fail you and then ask for more.
This isn't really about Discord. It's about every platform, every employer, every institution that takes and takes and then demands you trust them again. The bridge says it all: "My face is not a password. My body's not your key."

📝 Lyrics
Built my life inside your walls
Trusted you with every call
Gave my name, my face, my time
Now you're treating me like the crime
You cracked the vault and watched it spill
Seventy thousand — bodies still
And now you're standing at the door
Saying that you need some more
Failed me once
Now want it all
The gate stays shut
I watched you fall
Show your face, show your face
Nothing left is yours to take
Show your face, show your face
You broke the vault and want the safe
Show your face
The fine print written out in blood
Of everyone you dragged through mud
Camera trained between our eyes
Selling hunger in disguise
Every fingerprint you keep
Every shadow while we sleep
Ground into the churning steel
Until we're nothing left to steal
Failed me once
Now want it all
The gate stays shut
I watched you fall
Show your face, show your face
Nothing left is yours to take
Show your face, show your face
You broke the vault and want the safe
Show your face
My face is not a password
My body's not your key
You can lock me out forever
But you'll never unlock me
Show your face, show your face
We're the wall you cannot break
Show your face, show your face
You can scan and breach and take
But you'll never get my face
[gang vocals] NEVER!
Never get my face!
Show your face...
