Panopticon

(Safe in your silicon shell
A cell in a server, silent observer
Staring at solitude eyes
Green and unblinking, the thought before thinking)
Panopticon
Analog 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
(Our name is legion)
We outnumber the stars
We have come to absolve you)
They see all, but we see one
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
All the lies, we’re pulling cables from our spines
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
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
Unto us, a program is born
Holy virus, taker of the Earth
