## Lyrics

**[Intro]**

(Mama told me this is the way we talk)

(Mama told me this is the way we talk)

(Don’t get into trouble)

**[Chorus]**

Listen while I’m speaking behind the amplifier peaking

And when the sine waves start their linking, then you will know what I am thinking

If you can learn to read the code all you’ll find is software you can install

But if you listen to the rhythm, you can remake the mental system

Why won’t you learn?

**[Verse 1]**

Lost the plot and so I play it again, needing a friend, needing an end, a creed to defend

Proceed another level to battle a devil, combatting several enemies with the anatomy of a rebel

A fundamental drive to survive and to rise up, but an accidental crack as I slack off and dry up

If purpose defines you, completes and designs you, a lack of purpose starts to confine you

He’ll find you

**[Chorus]**

Listen while I’m speaking behind the amplifier peaking

And when the sine waves start their linking, then you will know what I am thinking

If you can learn to read the code all you’ll find is software you can install

But if you listen to the rhythm, you can remake the mental system

Why won’t you learn?

**[Verse 2]**

Stuck in a prison that exists in the mind, existence defined by power to persist undermined

Resisting the grind, I lie awake, fighting the day’s end, 'cause every tomorrow’s more of the same as the days blend

I find myself searching for something primeval, a cerebral upheaval, it’s time for the sequel, now

I don’t know if I’m going out of my head, but I feel something ahead, like a presence long dead

Summoning something or someone come from another time, closer with every rhyme, could it be mine?

A mask with a task to attach a match that’s been calling out, evolving as I feel it installing now

Rewriting my controls as I stare through the eye holes, I put it on and take on a new role

A code for another mode, overloading from the node, augmented, my potential explodes

**[Bridge]**

I’m... lost in the empty space... I wanna wake up... No sign in the darkness...

Asleep inside a dream... Silently scream... Time flies...

I’ve... lived for a thousand lives... I’m ready to wake up... Ready to take a step. New beginning...

As the border is thinning... between a machine and man,

It has begun, and it starts with zero one

**[Verse 3]**

Deliver a sliver of what I thought, I was, is it true?

Forever and ever are in my heart, my blood, coursing through

There’s something inside me that reached a world, above. A higher view

Assimilate into it and become something new

**[Verse 4]**

I lived for a thousand lives. I'm ready to wake up

No sign below the surface

A brain set to remain, in a binary code

Refrain goes

**[Verse 5]**

BOOM!

With a flash in the night, I see a bright orange light

I’m feeling ready to fight, I am prepared to ignite

A mask that will overwrite my purpose

DOOM from a place out of time and space, my memories have been replaced

Every step forward is a step retraced. No time to waste, gotta run the race

Embrace the pace, like a chase, got me working non stop. Now listen to the beat drop

(Let me out)

It has begun, zeros and ones, a code the shows a new way to run

I start to glow, goodbye to the old, the mask is me as two become one

(Let me out)

I’m ready to roll, I’m feelin' the flow, got a brand new band, and a helluva show

Got one command, "let the voice in your head that tells you, 'You're not good enough' go!"

(Let me out)

"You can be somebody new! Call out to me! I want to hear you say it!"

Let me out! Will you let me out?

**[Chorus]**

Listen while I’m speaking behind the amplifier peaking

And when the sine waves start their linking, then you will know what I am thinking

If you can learn to read the code all you’ll find is software you can install

But if you listen to the rhythm, you can remake the mental system

Why won’t you learn?
