A signal detected
The readings inspected
Upgrades, downloads
Restored controls
ch:
We could be, you and me, transforms
Maybe, we should be, transforms
That's where the machine fits in
It slips tightly beneath the skin
Inputs now decoded
Senses are overloaded
Reprocessed information
With pulse-width modulation
Dispersed so tightly
Deployed inside me
Fine-tuned calibration
With only mild sedation
A routine operation
Of data restoration
Now it's time to leave behind
Your desire to rewind
Now it's time to leave behind
Your desire to rewind

It Doesn't Change

Glowing screens
Interrupted dreams
A ringing bell
My idea of hell
Stay awake
There's money to make
Blurry eyes
But still we drive
(Bells)
It doesn't change
The rules they stay the same
In this life
Luck cuts like a knife
Rich men lie
The rest just try to get by
One equation:
Only work improves your station
When I get home
I hear a metronome
That never stops
A beat that just won't drop
Make the sounds
Release it underground
Then climb stages
For subsistence wages
(Bells)
Yeah — be driven
To whom that much is given
Much is expected
On this I stand corrected
An obsession
A sincere confession
Now absolved
The planet still revolves

The World Fades Away

Now you are standing by the window
The glass of wine still on the table
The smoke is curling from your fingers
The sting of the word still lingers
But then you ask if you should stay
Then the rest of the world fades away
You cry and I know I've hurt you
I'll try to be more careful
But then you ask if you should stay
Then the rest of the world fades away
