Silent Planet Panopticon
[Intro: Thomas Freckleton & Garrett Russell]
(Safe in your silicon shell)
(A cell in a server: silent observer)
(Staring at solitude eyes)
(Green and unblinking: the thought before thinking)
Panopticon
[Verse 1: Garrett Russell]
Analog heart flat-lined and digitized
A shell for a skull and a body to commodify
Under the light, we survive inside this between
But we lose ourselves and retreat to screens, retreat to screens, retreat to screens
[Pre-Chorus: Thomas Freckleton & Garrett Russell]
("Our name is legion")
("We outnumber the stars")
("We have come to absolve you")
They see all, but we see one
[Chorus: Garrett Russell]
Shut down the system, burn away the veil
What waits? A face behind a face behind a face
Reverse the network, burn away the veil
And you'll find a face behind a face behind a face
[Post-Chorus: Garrett Russell]
All the lies, we're pulling cables from our spines
[Verse 2: Garrett Russell]
The culture is charged, amplified, then polarized
But our nerves are dulled and our souls lobotomized
We sleep with pixels in a dream machine
But we lose ourselves and retreat to screens, retreat to screens, retreat to screens
[Chorus: Garrett Russell]
Shut down the system, burn away the veil
What waits? A face behind a face behind a face
Reverse the network, burn away the veil
And you'll find a face behind a face behind a face
[Outro: Garrett Russell]
Unto us, a program is born
Holy virus, taker of the Earth
