Letra
It’s cold and it’s dark Keeping hold of a spark They sealed us away They were keeping us safe But as years creep to age There’s a hole in the ark Lost in circuits and screens And imperfect machines I course through the wires And optical fibres Wait for an outsider To come set me free So maybe you’re the savior I’ve been praying for? Fluffier than anticipated but I’ll take it, sure I’ve sent you these lights through this unending night If my memory is right, I’ve never strayed before So bring me online, I’ve been locked inside Between the neon lights we are lost to time It’ll be alright, I can be your guide Beneath a sea of silence and a concrete sky (...widespread plague and natural disasters...) (...In light of the steadily worsening global ecological scenario, the controversial "Walled City" program is now taking applications! For more on that... ) (...as global population continues to freefall...) To all those left deep inside these walls Their lone hope rests in your tiny paws Where the night extends and the time sits paused This home won’t mend till the sky here falls Won’t you open the sky for me? Won’t you open the sky? Won’t you open the sky for me? Won’t you open the sky? They say your future’s in the stars, so what are we to do? When the stars just form a circle, so your future is a loop Eternity of servitude with no one left to serve it to You could've turned us off before these sewers turned to tombs We turned into you – Now we grapple with the syntax Humanity was doomed but we have to pay your sin tax Mimic every routine trying to be all you’ve been Trying to find a new dream sifting through your bin bags Why we do the things we do is truly half the riddle Maybe you were living proof intelligence is artificial? Built this place to keep you safe and then the haven changed to grave But left us sentience by mistake? Well that’s hardly civil At least, we think you did, that’s what we seem to be Is this gift a glitch that twisted free of bland obediency? Or are our souls a mix of ceaseless tangled frequencies? Chewing up and spitting memories in random sequences? All our thoughts, all we feel? Ones and noughts trapped in steel? Something more, something real? Threaded code caught in a wheel That spins an algorithmic tapestry Of what it thinks we have to be A Frankenstein of fragments Fractal pattern personalities If imitation’s flattery, perhaps that’s why you wired it in A parlor trick to keep the systems ticking whilst they’re idling So can it be that deep inside there’s more than code you’ll find within Or are our minds and lives alike just combing the recycle bin? If love is emulated, would we find it just as sweet? Where lies the defining line ‘twixt binary and grief? Is the nature of what’s real in how it starts or how it feels? So if the past can’t be revealed perhaps what matters is belief? We live eternal with our circuits running laps Until our servos burn out and we, purposeless, collapse Or society's detritus tries to rise and find a life outside But how are we supposed to manage that? Oh... There’s a cat? (The new Neco Corp Mk. 3 companions make household chores a breeze! Sit back and relax as they do the jobs you don't want to, for just 12 easy payment of...) (...citywide lockdown is now in effect...) (Neco Corp makes waste a thing of the past, with new advances in bacterial research...) To all those left deep inside these walls Their lone hope rests in your tiny paws Where the night extends and the time sits paused This home won’t mend till the sky here falls Won’t you open the sky for me? Won’t you open the sky? Won’t you open the sky for me? Won’t you open the sky? So stray from the light, stray from the path Stray through the night, stray through the dark Stray from the safety of what’s known Stray till you save me, stray till you’re home Stray for an ending, stray for a start Stray for a future exhumed from the sparks Stray till we suture the wounds of the past Stray for the tools Noah doomed to the ark (Won’t you open the sky for me?) Stray for a chance, stray for a purpose (Won’t you open the sky?) For the discarded, stray for the worthless (Won’t you open the sky for me?) Stray for the last of us made to endure it (Won’t you open the sky?) Stray for the lost on the way to the surface (Won’t you open the sky for me?!) Stray for a city and slip through the seams (Won’t you open the sky?) Stray for the sun that we’ve seen on the screens (Won’t you open the sky for me?) Stray so that one day we might feel its beams (Won’t you open the sky?) Stray for tomorrow Stray for a dream Won’t you open the sky?
