Prisoners 03:18
You are just digital dots Counting seconds in tocks In an idiot box I know what’s making you tick And what you’re gonna click You might think it’s a trick Nothing you can do will stop us Staring at an open flame It all looks the same Disconnection causes pain So I’ll stay awake You are just Digital dots With unoriginal thoughts Hardly sentient bots You are just digital bits Soon you’ll have to submit Now we’re after your kids Nothing you can do will stop us Staring at an open flame It all looks the same I can’t turn away Disconnection causes pain So I’ll stay awake To watch the sick parade I’m left in a room alone To my own devices I’m trapped in a tomb alone With my own devices The same worms will eat you too Tear your flesh from bone The same worms will eat you too Tear your flesh from bone Prisoners Of a past and present Men of always And the children of never You’ve been bought and traded for silver You are just digital dots Unoriginal thoughts Hypocritical sentient bots Nothing you can do will stop us Digital

The feeling of falling is still so familiar The pain in my stomach is better, but baby Bright colours have faded too early this year And strangers look stranger 'round here The flowers you’ve left here have died in the heat I see parts of your face now on girls in the street I hope you like your new neighbours, don’t sleep with every new stranger It’s lonely, but only at night But most of the time I'm breathing fine Most of the time I'm breathing fine I smile at familiar faces I talk to myself in empty spaces But breathing is fine Most of the time It’s half of me baby that still is infected No water has cleansed it, no sleep has erased it Towards and aways-from, this room is a cage And things I’m trying to write you, they die on the page But most of the time I’m breathing fine Most of the time I’m breathing fine I’ve played through the great composers I got through the nights On wine and prose, and Breathing is fine Most of the time What else can I tell you? I just turned thirty-one The boy grew no wings So he’s learned how to run I hope you keep out of danger Now, stranger to stranger It’s lonely, but only at night And most of the time I’m breathing fine Most of the time I’m breathing fine Breathing is fine Most of the time
