Transform 05:38
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 ch (repeat x2)

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

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
