lyrics

Born out of this world
Sometimes I just can’t find
My place in space and time

What might the reasons be
For synchronicity
Coincidences seen

The fabrics breaking down
A pixelated shroud
I’ve peered behind the screen

The program’s shutting down
Glitches within the crowd
So many eyes can’t see

The end draws near
A dissipating sphere
Enjoy the fear
Know I’m its engineer

And as I look around
Emptiness abounds
What does it all mean

I try to take it all in
And then it starts again
It’s overwhelming me

The end draws near
A dissipating sphere
Enjoy the fear
Know I’m its engineer

You’ve gone too far this time
So I’ll defend what’s mine
I shatter paradigms
A king without a crown
I’m bringing it all down
Just seek and ye shall find

The end draws near
A dissipating sphere
Enjoy the fear
Know I’m its engineer
