Digital dreams

Taking the shape of a better life on the other

Side of the screen

Elevate me, pull my focus from the feed

Blurring the lines between what you think you want and need

It's not safe for you to breathe in the fantasy

So sever the ties

The matrix cries as I reevaluate the crime

There's blood on my hands and it must be mine

'Cause there's no other users in my sight

The world will turn on you

A glitch you can never fix

Can't calculate the cost of what was lost

Defenses down my whole world is now unsound

Oh, I'm not about to crack the code

If I am alive

I would only try to follow my own light

Otherwise, I'm just another broken line

Another lesson taught by those unversed

We always expect the worst

Will you fold to the insecurities of getting old?

Did you really think that there's no reason to dig for gold?

You don't have to swallow all you're told

Paint a better picture of yourself

Don't conceal the monster that you've become

Your existence erased

Born of a web, I'm not acquainted with regret

I'm not sure if I'm alive or dead

Answers have gone unsaid

An unfamiliar face

Without as much as a name

Another defect in the machine

Another lesson taught by those unversed

We always expect the worst

Will you fold to the insecurities of getting old?

Did you really think that there's no reason to dig for gold?

You don't have to swallow all you're told

'Cause you've been counting off time

And one day you'll see you could have been living outside

Deconstruct our affinity

Tension bending my mind

Am I awake or just online?

Urgency or complacency

A tug of war with reality

My essence is blending in with the bunkered down and the colorless

Your existence erased

Oh, I'm not about to crack the code

If I am alive

I would only try to follow my own light

Otherwise, I'm just another broken line

Another lesson taught by those unversed

We always expect the worst

Will you fold to the insecurities of getting old?

Did you really think you could wake up once your soul's been sold?

You don't have to swallow all you're told

'Cause you've been counting off time

Another lesson taught by those unversed

We always expect the worst

Otherwise, I'm just another broken line

I'm not sure if I'm alive or dead

Did you really think that there's no reason to dig for gold?

I'm not about to crack the code, not sure if we'll ever grow old

Sever the ties

The matrix cries

There's blood on my hands

And I guess that's fine

'Cause we'll be alone if we lose this fight
