Lyrics
T minus ten, it's over soon
Can do nothing but watch the world be consumed
You can pretend that the choice was yours
But your mind has never been a more attractive resource
The wire's hot, your sweat is cold
Machines can only do exactly what they're told
You'll be immortal, but you'll never grow old
Your mind can be set free as your body hits the floor
And here you are among the stars
Pure data, sights and sounds
And you'll never fall in love again
Pure data, no pleasure and no pain
Twenty years later you're coming home
Can do nothing but watch your loved ones moving on
You can pretend that the choice was yours
Oh the crossroad after midnight has a powerful force
You're just a ghost, a cog in this machine
Taking you further than you could ever dream
You are immortal, but you paid the price
You no longer get to live but you won't ever die
And here you are among the stars
Pure data, sights and sounds
And you'll never fall in love again
Pure data, no pleasure and no pain
And here you are among the stars
Pure data, sights and sounds
And you'll never fall in love again
Pure data, no pleasure and no pain
Trivia
This started out as a shitpost about how anxiety diagnostics are useless when everyone has anxiety and that anxiety is to some degree warranted. One line still made it to the final song.
I got that sense of impending doom
Can do nothing but watch the world be consumed
Yeah I've been tense, but read the room
There are tidal waves coming and we'll all be subsumed
...
People tell me that everything's fine
They don't know I have the high score
