Matrix

Contagious and they're running from me
Been here for ages living so vicariously
I'm not ageist so I'm killing all carelessly
You can't escape me
I'm the villain, antagonist, see

I came here to rectify what's been past
A simple formula a cure or a skin graft
Slice it off another one
Can I get another one?
I won't go away I wont leave I'll smother em

Isn't it so pretty
Can't you see?
The lines and shapes that were given to me
Were the bars and bricks to build my cell
Orders all day long while they're ringing a bell

Isn't it so pretty
Can't you see?
The lines and shapes that were given to me
Were the bars and bricks to build my cell
Orders all day long while they're ringing a bell

Maintain, I'll try hack the mainframe
The noise and the fear are driving me insane
Maintain, the system will regain
Right here, driving me insane

Born with a mind that switches into its own mode
No sense of direction
No piece of binary code
I was fine for a while but I get these dreams every night
There's a ringing in my ears
I can't see what's in sight

I can see the shapes and figures
I don't know what they mean
And it's clear for all to see that there's a demon in me
He's the one with the tail
Pale sunken and looks frail
He'll eat you all alive left impaled on a long nail

Isn't it so pretty
Can't you see?
The lines and shapes that were given to me
Were the bars and bricks to build my cell
Orders all day long while they're ringing a bell

Isn't it so pretty
Can't you see?
The lines and shapes that were given to me
Were the bars and bricks to build my cell
Orders all day long while they're ringing a bell

How many times you heard the same old story?
The guy's alright, then he's not, then he's lonely
He's misunderstood, he's all underheard
He feeling and dealing, concealing, disturbed

But no one really knows what's going on in his life
What he's had to do or what he's sacrificed
The lengths, the breaths, the depths and the fights
Or the lonely years or the sleepless nights

The practice the pain and what he's paid for gain
Or the no success or the demons that he's slain
He'll fight you, he'll love you, he'll kiss you then kill you
But it's mostly just fear all wrapped up in situ

Deliver me please to the place in my mind
My terminus terminal, my station defined
Climb on climb aboard there is space it divide
Just pay close attention
Watch our stories collide

Maintain, I'll try hack the mainframe
The noise and the fear are driving me insane
Maintain, the system will regain
Right here, driving me insane

Isn't it so pretty
Can't you see?
The lines and shapes that were given to me
Were the bars and bricks to build my cell
Orders all day long while they're ringing a bell

Isn't it so pretty
Can't you see?
The lines and shapes that were given to me
Were the bars and bricks to build my cell
Orders all day long while they're ringing a bell

Maintain, I'll try hack the mainframe
The noise and the fear are driving me insane
Maintain, the system will regain
Right here, driving me insane
