Something's wrong with the world

Something's wrong with the view from here

And it's so hard to explain

The visions I see are rarely clear



Just below the lie

I am sure hides the real

Reality, we feed machines

With minds in need of worth



Contact made with the truth

Through lines of code

On my computer screen

Binary diamonds of proof



Shining stars unlock doors made of dreams

Beyond required imagination hides the hive

Born from AI we live the lie

Cocooned in lieu of life



With dreams we feed reality

Your fantasy, a fallacy

Imprisoned by your memory, memory



It's not what you think

It's the secret

It's the secret



There's no promise of peace

There's no comfort and no guarantees

Once the system's been killed

We'll have no choice

We'll have to rebuild



And life won't be the pretty picture

You recall

But it will be reality

And you'll be free



With dreams we feed reality

Your fantasy, a fallacy



If you could see what I have seen

Would you destroy the Matrix?

If you could see what I have seen

Would you destroy the Matrix?



And try, try, try

Live or die, live or die
