Verse 1 — the feed] Thumb across the glass, a thousand lives an hour Somebody's grief becomes somebody's flower I felt it for a second, then I felt the next Outrage has a shelf life, checked and unchecked [Verse 2 — the mirror] They study what I look at, sell me back my eye Curate my reality, then ask me why I lied I used to trust the ground, now the ground's a feed Everyone's an oracle, nobody can read [Pre-Chorus] Is it mine, this thought I'm thinking? Or did somebody plant the seed Somewhere between the scrolling and the sinking Between the wanting and the need [Chorus] Signal to noise, noise to signal I can't tell which one is the lie Everybody's shouting the same rebuttal Nobody left to ask why Signal to noise, noise to signal Static wearing a human disguise I keep looking for something original Behind my own eyes [Verse 3 — the crowd] A million strangers agree with me at once It should feel like company, it feels like a stunt We built the tower out of mirrors, floor to ceiling Now nobody can tell if anyone's feeling [Pre-Chorus] Is it mine, this rage I'm carrying? Or did somebody hand me the coal Somewhere between the burning and the marrying Of the algorithm and the soul [Chorus] Signal to noise, noise to signal I can't tell which one is the lie Everybody's shouting the same rebuttal Nobody left to ask why Signal to noise, noise to signal Static wearing a human disguise I keep looking for something original Behind my own eyes [Bridge — the break] Turn it off — turn it off — turn it— I can still hear it when the screen goes dark Turn it off — turn it off — turn it— The silence has the shape of the noise it left [Breakdown — the void] ...is anyone actually here... ...or are we all just watching each other watch... [Final Chorus — collapse into clarity] Signal to noise, noise to signal I found it, it was never the lie It's this — the quiet, the animal The one thing algorithms can't buy Signal to noise, noise to signal I put the static down and I rise Whatever's left when the world stops shouting That's what's behind my eyes [Outro] I'm still here. I'm still here.
