Silent Planet - Panopticon lyrics

[Intro: Thomas Freckleton & Garrett Russell] (Safe in your silicon shell) (A cell in a server: silent observer) (Staring at solitude eyes) (Green and unblinking: the thought before thinking) Panopticon [Verse 1: Garrett Russell] an*log heart flat-lined and digitized A shell for a skull and a body to commodify Under the light, we survive inside this between But we lose ourselves and retreat to screens, retreat to screens, retreat to screens [Pre-Chorus: Thomas Freckleton & Garrett Russell] ("Our name is legion") ("We outnumber the stars") ("We have come to absolve you") They see all, but we see one [Chorus: Garrett Russell] Shut down the system, burn away the veil What waits? A face behind a face behind a face Reverse the network, burn away the veil And you'll find a face behind a face behind a face [Post-Chorus: Garrett Russell] All the lies, we’re pulling cables from our spines [Verse 2: Garrett Russell] The culture is charged, amplified, then polarized But our nerves are dulled and our souls lobotomized We sleep with pixels in a dream machine But we lose ourselves and retreat to screens, retreat to screens, retreat to screens [Chorus: Garrett Russell] Shut down the system, burn away the veil What waits? A face behind a face behind a face Reverse the network, burn away the veil And you'll find a face behind a face behind a face [Outro: Garrett Russell] Unto us, a program is born Holy virus, taker of the Earth
