Simulation

[Verse 1] It seems I should have walked away Reverse the wager I’ve no means to pay Toto has pulled back the green tonight in sight And blue pills coat with such disdain I wore the shades for so long That I’ve forgotten how to see The curtain rises but who dares to pull the strings [Pre-Chorus 1] N.C. I know this may be hard for you to believe and all N.C. But you only exist because we allow it [Chorus] I’ve questioned all the voices in my head Are they mine or have I been misled? Total understanding doesn’t seem to mean a thing When you can’t see behind the silver screen a figurine Can’t you hear me scream? [Verse 2] By the way of cosmic rays A subtle breakdown jarred the code display A simulation as I can tell our cell Playing out a hopeless scene We stand to lose all our charm And faith just seems to wane A billion years can seem a stunningly short time [Pre-Chorus 2] N.C. You’ve been beaten down time and time again N.C. But still you find yourself at the center of it all [Chorus] I’ve questioned all the voices in my head Are they mine or have I been misled? Total understanding doesn’t seem to mean a thing When you can’t see behind the silver screen a figurine Can’t you hear me scream? [Bridge] N.C.  You hear me you had one thing to do one thing N.C. And you fucked it up piece of shit Nurse patient six-six-six-one-five-eight needs to be sedated We need 500cc of Blue Comfort N.C. Oh hello there dearie I’ve been expecting you [Solo] N.C. [Verse 3] Posturing the way I feel Is truth only what we believe is real? Marvel the sketches that paint the night starlight And take a breath before it’s all erased away
