lyrics

Daily life
Living in the breach
Too content
Too cynical to speak

Can you hear that sound
Oscillating between the lost and the found
Can you hear that voice
Communicating as if it had a choice

Innocent
And docile by default
Free by choice
You're the signal and the noise

Can you hear that sound
Oscillating between the lost and the found
Can you hear that voice
Communicating as if it had a choice

Do you feel that hand
Tracing your mouth, drawing lines in the sand
The dry landscape
Bereft of content, impossible to escape

Holds you tight
Brightly lit
Always tense
Transparency

Given up
Without pause
What's the harm
Captivity

Now think back
Who could've mentioned that
You're nothing to fear
At least not these last few years

At a moment's thought
One's heart's desire, but the moment's thought is caught
What was on your mind
Spoken or signalled, somehow they can find the time
For the panic and fear
Never acknowledged save for the eyes of our peers
A private cross
Borne of a freedom quickly won and quickly lost

Holds you tight
Brightly lit
Always tense
Transparency
you never wanted this if not for their perverse incentives, yeah

Given up
Without pause
What's the harm
Captivity
your information didn't ask for freedom freedom from your skull
