Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm born, I'm alive, I breathe
In a moment or two I realize that the sphere
Upon which I reside is asleep on its feet
Should I go back to sleep?
[Verse 2]
I'm born, I'm alive, I breathe
In a moment or two I realize that the sphere
Upon which I reside is asleep on its feet
Should I, should I, should I go back to sleep?
[Verse 3]
You stare at me like I'm a vitamin
On the surface you hate but you know you need me
I come dressed as a pill you deemed fit
Whatever helps you swallow truth all the more easily
[Verse 4]
We orbit the sun, I grow up
My open eyes see a zombified somnambulist society
Leaving us as vitamins for the hibernating human animal
Do you, do you, do you see what I mean?
[Verse 5]
You stare at me like I'm a vitamin
On the surface you hate but you know you want me
I come dressed as a pill you deemed fit
Whatever helps you swallow truth all the more easily
And I wonder will you digest me?
[Verse 6]
Into the sleep machine, I won't plug in
In fact, I'd rather die before I will comply
You, my friend, are right, the reason
I still live 'cause in my mind I'm set
The vitamin is whack
[Verse 7]
Coming closer to another two thousand years
You and I will pry the closed eye of the sleep machine
[Verse 8]
You stare at me like I'm a vitamin
On the surface you hate but you know you want me
I come dressed as a pill you deemed fit
Whatever helps you swallow truth all the more easily
