Pixel (feat. Matt Hocine)

Quantum fountain, hold me under I breathe in all I see then
I uncover a point, a number expands by ten, but then the water

Rushes in, and we can't see what we're immersed in
Even if you rehearse it, it doesn't work
The most that we can do is
Try to see it through this crude view, an X-Y-Z delusion

I built a plane but forgot the air, got on a train but misplaced the rails
Just make it up as you go, our bodies were made to erode
It's like we're living with one eye open, or maybe dying with one eye closed
The way this condensate's arranged I can't even begin to hope

To know what's hiding out behind, in front, below
The snake's biting his tail just to swallow me whole

I need a pixel in the hologram, the type that's gonna
Show the world for what it is, a living sham
Propaganda's heavy-handed where we land is
Somewhere in between the real and the imagined dream

And then I thought I found a constant, yeah
Someone to keep me grounded here in this misconception
But Miss Direction whispered in my ear

Everything I craved to hear
That everyday was ours to share
The time, the space, the distance, she reaffirmed my own existence
She brought me back from ephemeral, short-lived but incredible
"Was it worth it?" you said at the very end
But I don't think about it, keep it clouded in my vision

Become a non-point, borderline mirage-boy
Möbius-strip the past from the forecast fading fast
In the fog abstract, recast as I collapse I am looking for a

Pixel in the hologram, the type that's gonna
Show the world for what it is, a living sham
Propaganda's heavy-handed where we land is
Somewhere in between the real and the imagined
Pixel in the hologram, the type that's gonna
Show the world for what it is, a living sham
Propaganda's heavy-handed where we land is
Somewhere in between the real and the imagined dream

And now I'm brought to my knees
I pieced it all together, can't believe what I've seen
This life we lead is just a tease
Perceive this 2-D disparity, make your own reality
Sad? Oh please, Entropy, give me possibilities
What they're calling chaos just doesn't seem all that bad to me
No it don't seem all that bad to me
