String Theocracy

Open the curtains

Lights on

Don't miss a moment

Of this experiment

Oh, the book is strange

Like clockwork orange

Keep your eyes buttered till the end

Which "you" are you going to be?

Hmm

Inside the mirror do you see

Someone else in that body?

Dance for me

One and

Two and

Three and

Turn around

Sit like a doggy

Till I finish my read

Cut it off, cut down your loss

All that stubborn loyalty is gonna get you killed

In a world built on convenient theories

For the puppets on TV

There is comfort in the strings

If you're gonna control me

At least make it interesting theatrically

How does it feel to be free?

Hmm

Why don't you try it yourself?

The gate opened on me

So I leaped

Down, down, and down I go

I tell myself I'm a tough girl

Down, down, and down I go

I could never, ever, ever touch the soil

My heart goes right

My head goes left

And end up on your bed

Huh

Sure I'll be your marionette

Here, tug on my thread

Spread me open for dolly pink, snow white artificial beauty

Maybe we're all cold machines

Stuffed in the human skin

With human sins

Sewed up by the gods of city

Cut it out, you've already lost

All that precious bravery is gonna get you hurt

In a world that feeds on the minority

May that self-centered belief lead you to peace

If you're gonna replace me

At least have the audacity to kill me thoroughly

When does it end for me?

Hmm

I think I am done with everything

Now I'm ready to leave

Dragging out

One line

Two lines

Three lines

Connect our hands

When I no longer can live on knowledge alone

You gave me strength

Hopeful curiosity

Maybe there are still happy answers left for my discovery

What's the colour of the electric sheep you see?

And if you love me

Can you love your everything too, for me?
