absence in your algorithm (remix competition version)

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Am I unfashionably late? The cause of strange sensation? Do I sedate to stay awake For the duration? Oh Lord I need to be needed If I have a purpose I will fulfill it But I need to be needed first [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] I need to be relevant As relevant as I was back then When life depended on it Every now and again I need you to need me Not to add me back But to seek me Because I need to be needed Even if it's for nothin' [Chorus] You still pop up in my dreams But I'm absent in your algorithm I don't want to settle for one or the other If I'm neither it doesn't matter if you had 'em 'Cause I can't support the system And maybe it's just me but it seems like You still pop up in my dreams But I'm absent in your algorithm [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] If I became obsolete Your machine could defeat me And your dream will complete you Until it deletes you But I will not delude myself I cannot affix my head to your shelf For now I’ll try to not need you To return my invitation [Chorus] You still pop up in my dreams But I'm absent in your algorithm I don't want to settle for one or the other If I'm neither it doesn't matter if you had 'em 'Cause I can't support the system And maybe it's just me but it seems like You still pop up in my dreams But I'm absent in your algorithm [Instrumental Break] [Outro] Yeah, I can't support the system And maybe it's just me but it seems like You still pop up in my dreams But I'm absent in your algorithm [End]
