The Simulation

We are subject to an end The human condition Make a symbol of yourself now When will our wisdom corrode Decline and die? Wiped from the canvas Remap, rewire Memories on file Reanimate Reading dreams, weeding out the secrets Seeking strength something stronger than faith Reading dreams, reaching deep into our cortex We welcome the incorporation of steel We're ever-changing, increasing networks Millions of miles interlaced like trees Come on the voyage, what's stored in the forest Explore the connectome, discover yourself Discover yourself When will our wisdom corrode Decline and die? Wiped from the canvas Remap, rewire Memories on file Man is forever advancing Creating his own gods The layers are stacking The limits are long gone We'll see the future intact or torn Wealthy preserving the wrong resource Between love and hate The layers are stacking

Back and forth, the face-to-face Space between the emptiness We don't always radiate a sense of fate But it’s the place I long to be I believe it's my destiny A crater laid empty Seems to increase Stable safety rears its pretty face Afraid of the failure Afraid of the pain Inside the back-and-forth Between the emptiness Is the place I long to be Another shot at destiny Inside the back-and-forth Between the emptiness Is the place I long to be Another shot at destiny Careful brain I creep right past you My actions test your security I'm not afraid of your healing approval Snapped in half, broken in two Inside the back-and-forth Between the emptiness Is the place I long to be Another shot at destiny Inside the back-and-forth Between the emptiness Is the place I long to be Another shot at destiny Back and forth, the face-to -face Space between the emptiness We don’t always radiate a sense of fate But it's the place I long to be My eyes at times see the perfect picture Yet I sacrifice Solid ground and a balanced life Cycles of tragedy Cycles of tragedy

We said we want We said we want to get a little bit lighter Continuing our reach to be higher You know we all need a little bit of love Standing above what's been done The world is sinking and we’re all under fire And so concerned who's pointing the gun Will you believe what we all can become? Standing above what's been done To lead is to leave your hands on the heat "Feed me", she screams from the screen "Shield us, shape us" This is the first thing we need A future comprised Of two threads and a needle Injuries, empathy, all will be healed Will we produce or enslave? Procreate or erase? We said we want We said we want to get a little bit lighter Continuing our reach to be higher You know we all need a little bit of love Standing above what’s been done The world is sinking and we're all under fire And so concerned who's pointing the gun Will you believe what we all can become? Standing above what's been done Hit the marker, have your feet catch Ears up to hear the trigger snap One in front of the other Every hurdle I wonder Are we moving backwards or forward? We said we want We said we want to get a little bit lighter Continuing our reach to be higher You know we all need a little bit of love Standing above what's been done The world is sinking and we're all under fire And so concerned who's pointing the gun Will you believe what we all can become? Standing above what's been done Hit the marker, have your feet catch Ears up to hear the trigger snap One in front of the other Every hurdle I wonder Are we moving backwards or forward?

Cut, paste, I never mentioned The outcome to myself Gone, stay, the repetition The augments seem to help Shifting into the curve All I know is I need you I need you I need you by my side Crawl inside, I'll never leave you You're always on my mind I need you by my side Do you know what it, what it means to be human? The baseline universe When, when will it stop? We are approaching the plateau At a breakneck pace The baseline universe At a breakneck pace Now face the new temptation A gateway to ourselves Bend, crack, a revelation The analogs in a cell Shifting into the curve All I know is I need you I need you I need you by my side As soon as we thought the system was broken We finally learned how to force it back down We altered the signal and discovered the meaning The growing importance of man and machine As soon as we thought the system was broken We finally learned how to force it back down We altered the signal and discovered the meaning The growing importance of man and machine

I'm constantly moving on involuntarily from what I used to be And how I’m meant to be Can I carry on? Life seems to keep scaring me Without my brother I'm so lost and faced with insecurity Capsized and violent, holding troubles against my brothers As if we've never been one with without the other Through the worst or best, kept this card close to my chest But when the tables turn I feel like you want me to burn I try to reach out, hold your presence These captured memories I won’t forget Capsized and violent, holding troubles against my brothers As if we've never been one with without the other Through the worst or best, kept this card close to my chest But when the tables turn I feel like you want me to burn With any passion of fun or dance Just a pun, just a joke or a fake Personally, it's not easy to please you It makes me grind on my teeth And when I have a blank canvas Vacuumed from the choices I must break my heart and say nothing These tiny fragments in my head are telling me It's not safe to question you So I'll pretend this is the truth I'm constantly moving on involuntarily from what I used to be Can I carry on? Escape and reshape A plan or a play to invade space I couldn't reach As the ravens give meaning I bleed this distrust to you I try to reach out, hold your presence These captured memories I won't forget Capsized and violent holding, troubles against my brothers As if we’ve never been one with without the other Through the worst or best, kept this card close to my chest But when the tables turn I feel like you want me to burn
