lyrics

In the void of the voiceless
Online algorithms limiting your choices
I’m living in block lists
Sitting with writtens and thinking I’m conscious
Or living in the mind of someone who thought this
What if we’re God’s thoughts
What if we’re all sorts
What if my eye when I look at you
Is me looking back with your eyes too
Or maybe we’re robots
Maybe computers get so life-like
That all the people don’t go outside
Maybe it’s year 2099
And we’re in a programme to travel in time
If we pollute the sky have acid rain
And plastic oceans we’d stay at home
We’d all plug in and play this game
It’s called holidays when the world decays

Body is a temple
But I don’t feel religious
The world was your oyster
I hope it was delicious
There’s nothing to us precious
And Earth is getting hotter
The streets will look like Venice
Please no swimming in this water

Is there virtue in virtual reality
If I act this way is it actually a part of me
Factually it’s hard to say
I guess we’re living our lives in different ways
I guess we’re playing our lives and willing to fight
Well in computer games
What if we went outside
Maybe protest this life
Maybe we’re lazy and scared to do right
So hollow no morals and follow the light
What if we’re dead deceased gone
And you are a programme that’s hearing this song
And I am an upload that was not born
A simulation to test this form
And where we’re from we’re all the same
Bodies decay with no form of race
We’re all just data that’s entered and placed
And trapped this way forgot it’s a game
Maybe maybe
Maybe we’re slaves
Maybe we’re saved and placed in a maze
Maybe today is only a stage
Maybe no time and nothing is fate
Audio waves transcend from a grave
To try and relate those grave mistakes

Your body is a temple
But I don’t feel religious
The world was your oyster
I hope it was delicious
There’s nothing to us precious
The Earth is getting hotter
The streets will look like Venice
Please no swimming in this water

Yeah your body is a temple
But I don’t feel religious
The world was your oyster
I hope it was delicious
When nothing to us precious
The Earth is getting hotter
The streets will look like Venice
Please no swimming in this water

Wait
What if it’s meant
What if this pain is only a test
To get us set for what is next
But maybe they left
Experiment didn’t have an end
And we just sit and comprehend if we exist
If peace can exist
If we can exist without being dicks
And maybe fix with the time they give

Take this plug out my neck
Take this mask up off of my head
Take this heart while there’s still some left
Or put it back it on cause I can’t face this mess

Can’t face this mess
Yes

Your body is a temple
But I don’t feel religious
The world was your oyster
I hope it was delicious
There’s nothing to us precious
The Earth is getting hotter
The streets will look like Venice
Please no swimming in this water

Yeah your body is a temple
But I don’t feel religious
The world was your oyster
I hope it was delicious
When nothing to us precious
The Earth is getting hotter
The streets will look like Venice
Please no swimming in this water
