Mama told me this is the way we talk
Mama told me this is the way we talk
Don't get into trouble
Listen while I'm speaking
Behind the amplifier peaking
And when the sine waves start their linking
Then you will know what I am thinking
If you can learn to read the code all
You'll find the software you can install
But if you listen to the rhythm
You can remake their mental system
Why won't you learn
Lost the plot and so I play it again
Needing a friend, needing an end, a creed to defend
Proceed another level to battle a devil
Combatting several enemies with the anatomy of a rebel
A fundamental drive to survive and to rise up
But an accidental crack as I slack off and dry up
The purpose defines you, completes and designs you
A lack of purpose starts to confine you, he'll find you
Listen while I'm speaking
Behind the amplifier peaking
And when the sine waves start their linking
Then you will know what I am thinking
If you can learn to read the code all
You'll find the software you can install
But if you listen to the rhythm
You can remake their mental system
Why won't you learn
Stuck in a prison that exists in the mind, existence defined
By power to persist undermined, resisting the grind
I'd lie awake, fighting the day's end
'Cause every tomorrow's more of the same as the days blend
I find myself searching for something primeval, cerebral, upheaval
It's time for the sequel now
I don't know if I'm going out of my head
But I feel something ahead, like a presence long dead
Summoning something if someone come from another time
Closer with every line, could it be mine?
A mask with a task to attach a match that's been calling out
Evolving, yes, I feel it stalling out
Rewriting my controls as I stare through the eye holes
I put it on and take on a new role
A code for another mode, overloading from a node
Augmented, my potential explodes
I'm lost in the empty space, I wanna wake up
No sign in the darkness
Asleep inside a dream, silently scream, time flies
I lived for a thousand lives
I'm ready to wake up, ready to take a step
New beginning
As the border is thinning
Between the machine and man, it has begun
And it starts with zero one
Deliver a sliver of what I thought I was
Is it true?
Forever and ever are in my heart, my blood, coursing through
There's something inside me that reached a world
Above, a higher view
Assimilate into it and become something new
I lived for thousand lives (mama told me this is the way we talk)
Ready to wake up (mama told me this is the way we talk)
No sign below the surface (don't get into trouble)
A brain set to remain in a binary code (mama told me this is the way we talk)
Refrain goes boom (don't get into trouble)
With a flash in the night, I see a bright orange light
I'm feeling ready to fight, I am prepared to ignite
A mask that will overwrite my purpose, doom
From a place out of time and space, my memories have been replaced
Every step forward is a step retraced
No time to waste, gotta learn the race
Embrace the pace, like a chase, got me workin' nonstop
Now listen to the beat drop
(Let me out!)
It has begun zeros and ones, a code that shows
A new way to run, I start to glow
Goodbye to the old, the mask is me as two become one
(Let me out!)
I'm ready to roll, I'm feelin' the flow
Got a brand new band and a helluva show
Got one command for the voice in your head
That tells you you're not good enough, go
(Let me out!)
You could be somebody new (somebody new)
Call out to me (call out to me)
I wanna hear you say it
Let me out
Will you let me out?
Listen while I'm speaking
Behind the amplifier peaking
And when the sine waves start their linking
Then you will know what I am thinking
If you can learn to read the code all
You'll find the software you can install
But if you listen to the rhythm
You can remake their mental system
Why won't you learn
