[Verse 1] A cube unfolds where the compass bends Four little doors and no true ends It turns the room till the ceiling slides And files the world to its other side [Chorus] Squib in the circuit, pull the world apart Robotic reality, reset the heart Hyper-cubic forces, fold the floor below One sharp turn and the whole thing goes [Verse 2] A brass-eyed figure counts in squares Its silver fingers tune the air It scans my name, then shifts the frame The exit sign forgets its name [Chorus] Squib in the circuit, pull the world apart Robotic reality, reset the heart Hyper-cubic forces, fold the floor below One sharp turn and the whole thing goes [Verse 3] A paper moon in a glass machine Keeps changing shape between the seams I step once in, I step twice out The map says yes, the walls say doubt [Chorus] Squib in the circuit, pull the world apart Robotic reality, reset the heart Hyper-cubic forces, fold the floor below One sharp turn and the whole thing goes [Bridge] Four sides turning No straight line Steel thoughts learning Borrowed time [Verse 4] The little switch behind the sun Clicks twice, and every room is one A calm machine says, “Choose a face” I pick the door that isn’t a place [Final Chorus] Squib in the circuit, pull the world apart Robotic reality, reset the heart Hyper-cubic forces, fold the floor below One sharp turn and the whole thing goes [Outro] Cube folds in Machine stays on
