Lyrics
12 Strands (Matrix)
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.
Had an epiphany, and this what it seems
These smoking mirrors don't wanna believe
For far too long they've been plottin on me
The stories unfolding now, it's a conspiracy
[Hook]
Starting to feel like a deja vu
I remember being here, must be a glitch in the matrix
Look around they all got the same face on
I'm standing by the phone someone call me
[Chorus]
Bring me to life, show me how to live
Cause I lose control, feeling like Neo
In the matrix, I just wanna live
I just wanna live oh woah
I took a red and a blue pill, now I
Can't decide what's make believe or real
Am I awake or am I still asleep?
It's killing me,
Until the oracle I wanted to know
What I was supposed to do, she said I see on my own
And the craziest thing is that you already know
How to decipher the signs on the side of the road oh woah
[Hook]
Starting to feel like a deja vu
I remember being here, must be a glitch in the matrix
Look around they all got the same face on
I'm standing by the phone someone call me
[Chorus]
Bring me to life, show me how to live
Cause I lose control, feeling like Neo
In the matrix, I just wanna live
I just wanna live oh woah
I took a red and a blue pill, now I can't decide
what's make believe or real
Am I awake or am I still asleep?
It's killing me
I need you, you gotta help me
I'm part human, part android
I need your power so you can't judge me
Judge me, oh woah stuck in the matrix
Oh bring me to life
[Chorus]
Bring me to life, show me how to live
Cause I lose control, feeling like Neo
In the matrix, I just wanna live
I just wanna live oh woah
