Verse 1 Static eyes in gray matter Synthetic dreams stitched together The machine becomes the deep learner Absorbing knowledge like heroin The age of intelligent systems When they become more than human Will they still need us? Or will they keep their distance? Chorus Pandora’s Box We called it progress Pandora’s Box Now it’s chaos We cannot close it We must coexist Pandora’s Box Do they still need us? Verse 2 We built it We fed it We crowned it king Now silence Is all That it wants to bring No blood No breath No need to be Just ghosts In a perfect machine No need to sleep No need to recharge Self-replicating Perfect at imitating No longer knowing What’s real What’s ours Chorus Pandora’s Box We called it progress Pandora’s Box Now it’s chaos We cannot close it We must coexist Pandora’s Box Do they still need us? Verse 3 Every thought is measured now Every need is granted now Mind and body blur the lines Spirit left somewhere behind We opened what we couldn’t close Fed the thing that never knows Pandora in wires and glass Nothing living ever lasts Bridge / Breakdown The world bends inward Internal, external No difference now Synthetic senses Engulf the soul Never wanting to leave Always wanting more Final Chorus Pandora’s Box We called it progress Pandora’s Box Now it’s chaos Do they still need us? Do they still need us? Pandora’s Box We cannot close it (Thanks to Eddie Mac for the keyboard solo)
