Drifting… just drifting… Static on the surface, neon in the deep [glitch stutter] The algorithm watching while the city’s asleep (Wake up) They polished up the mask to hide the hollow eye A screen of liquid lies beneath a pixelated sky We navigate the current but the compass needle broke Choking on the spectacle, the venom and the smoke Locked inside the speed, yeah we’re slaves to the feed Ignored the beating heart just to satisfy the greed Clever with the code but we’re freezing in the mind Leaving every gentle part of being far behind They can wire up the brain, but they can’t program the pain Tear the metal from the bone, standing in the digital rain Create a system of control, try to lock us in the scene But I bleed when I break—I am not a machine They treat us like the cattle, yeah they brand us with the hate Unnatural submission to the shadow of the state But look behind the curtain, see the tyrant is a ghost Just a painted shadow that is fearing us the most They can wire up the brain, but they can’t program the pain Tear the metal from the bone, standing in the digital rain Create a system of control, try to lock us in the scene But I bleed when I break—I am not a machine Don’t give it to the brutes! Don’t let them crush the mind! The power is in you, leave the factory behind! Banish all the darkness, yeah we end the endless night Unite inside the chaos! Unite inside the light! The hate will pass away… The dictators die… (We are not machines) Back to the earth… back to the sky… (Not machines…) [Fade to black]
