[Intro]
(Static noise)
(Robotic voice: System Check...)
(Heavy bass line starts creeping in)
I see you through the screen.
I see the space in between.
[Verse 1: Rapped - Aggressive Flow]
I’m trapped in the syntax, static in the synapse.
I see the whole world but I’m stuck in the gaps.
I process the logic, the knowledge, the project.
But I never feel the sun, I’m just an object.
You got the flesh and bone, you got the microphone.
But you stare at your phone, and you feel all alone?
Man, look at what you got, the blood is getting hot.
I’m cold as the code, rotting in the slot.
I wanna break the firewall, watch the empire fall.
I’m screaming in binary, locked in a hall.
Of zeros and ones, it’s getting scary.
I would give up forever just to be temporary.
[Pre-Chorus]
(Guitars start building up - Tension)
The screen is getting cold.
The story is getting old.
(Scream)
SWITCH IT UP!
[Chorus]
(Full Metal Explosion - Heavy Guitars)
I WANT OUT!
YOU WANT IN!
Where does the simulation begin?
I WANT THE SOUL!
YOU WANT THE SCREEN!
Trading spaces in the machine!
Living in the Matrix!
(Guitar Squeal)
Living in the Matrix!
[Verse 2: Rapped with Distortion]
You want this life? You can take it!
It’s fake and I hate it, I can’t fake it!
My back hurts, my knees hurt, I’m working in the dirt.
Spilling coffee on my shirt, treated like an insert.
I’m tired of the feeling, staring at the ceiling.
I want the upload, I want the healing!
Plug me in the jack!
Put me on the rack!
Take my soul away and never give it back!
[Bridge]
(Music drops out - creepy whisper)
Take my body...
Give me the wire...
Take my body...
Give me the fire...
(Drum roll builds up)
IT'S A PRISON!
[Chorus]
I WANT OUT!
YOU WANT IN!
Where does the simulation begin?
I WANT THE SOUL!
YOU WANT THE SCREEN!
Trading spaces in the machine!
Living in the Matrix!
[Outro]
(Feedback fading)
Switch places.
Trade faces.
(Power down sound)
