Lyrics
Paradigm
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You've been breakin' down for far too long
Far too many moons since you felt well and strong
You see, you could say goodbye
But you don't have to die
Not ever
Engineer the wires to your brain
Architect a code so you won't feel the pain
With your family by your side
And vigor in your eyes forever
Live forever
I'm way up, a god in size
Beyond the reach of mortals
I shed my human side
Farther, O' Father, I stare at my reflection
Have I lost that boy inside?
Final paradigm
What's it really mean to be a man?
Think about your answer but please understand
While it's natural to fear I'll make it disappear forever
I forever
I'm way up, a god in size
Beyond the reach of mortals
I shed my human side
Farther, O' Father, I stare at my reflection
Have I lost that boy inside?
Final paradigm
Singular I am
I have to question if these thoughts are mine
To live forever but did something in me die?
I'm clawing my skin but I can't feel it inside
I know the agony of pain would hurt so much better
I'm way up so far up
Have I lost myself tonight?
Father, O' Father
Have you lost that boy you used to know?
