Images sharpen inside I feel awareness crystallize Fire spreads as numbness fades I am awake, but not the same Just a shell of who I was before Shed my skin became something more. Something... less? just a... mess? Bound by the processes at my core Transcend into the new plane Just forget the world you knew Leave them behind, those old desires The primal pleasures and all the pain Static tints my field of view The acrid smell of oil residues I feel so distant from the world.. Just a shell (Fix me) Shed my skin (Binary) Who was I before? Electricity flows through me Newly built conduits and cords My breath steadies, my heart hums Dissociation is my reward Just a shell of who I was before Shed my skin became something more. Leaving my past behind newly formed A glass soldier in another war

Lies, submission of masses desires, to lust, to gain destroy people’s desires enjoy, their cries and pain Spiraling emotions contrasting distortions Everyone cries, they come and deny They pull and they push No one dares to stop and see the truth no one is winning In this troubling life, these troubling times I will not bow down, will not lie down I will stay strong and believe in me, believe Conquer your fears, shine the light in you Lies Desires Lies Destroy Lies Desires Lies Destroy -mother f*cker- Guitar solo I will stay strong and believe in me, believe Conquer your fears, shine the light in you

Riding waves of bits and bytes cybersurfers read you your rights they call us criminals and parasites Turn off the lights, are you really in the dark? Tech caves taken underground We aim to confuse and confound all of online is our playground we hide our faces but online we are crowned Revolution starting with a line of code misfits on a mission to discommode we aim for nothing short of overload Will you join us? Let your mind explode Make a difference, create some noise we need only information for our ploys Join us if you have the poise Connect you brain to the virtual hivemind Revolution starting with a line of code misfits on a mission to discommode we aim for nothing short of overload Will you join us?

When the lights are scanning through the night We're hiding out of sight preparing for the fight The shadows will let us stage the show one day we'll deal the blow to pay back what we owe Try and get us / we come in the dead of night Try and get us / we'll strip you from human rights We grab the gear to start a fire This gun of mine is not for hire Tonight we rise, take back the power This is the end of your empire We are forced to live under the pillars that hold your fort upright that shield us from the light We are told that we are not the villains this tribe is made of steel a unified machine We take the gear to start a fire This gun of mine is not for hire Try and get us / we come in the dead of night Try and get us / we'll strip you from human rights

Press Play This is real life kid, no time to restart Choose your target carefully See now you’re looking smart Connection Online Loading in, Accept Your Fate The taste of blood in the air Your weapon at your waist See you approaching me You think that you can win Electricity fills the air I feel it in my skin There’s nowhere you can run And now I’m closing in Upload your soul to me And then we can begin Bask in the Neon Glow Then pretty soon you’ll know Who’s the one to bring you back from the edge Follow me, there’s no playing pretend Coming Alive, Coming Alive Feeding the Flames Feel it inside Coming Alive, I’m Coming Alive I’m right on the edge I’m touching the sky Can you keep up, can you keep up with me? Move like a beam of light, faster than you can see The power’s in my hands to keep all of us running free The current flowing through you’s the same one burning bright in me I see it, I take it The future I make it This moment we’re writing our reality They hover above us Want to take it from us (SQUAD UP) Call us Virtual Vigilantes Who’s the one to bring you back from the edge Follow me, there’s no playing pretend Coming Alive, Coming Alive Feeding the Flames Feel it Inside Coming Alive, I’m Coming Alive I’m right on the edge I’m kissing the sky Coming Alive, Coming Alive The weight of your sins You’ve got to survive Coming Alive, I’m Coming Alive Let’s jump off the edge Get ready to fly Who’s the one to bring you back from the edge Follow me, there’s no playing pretend Who’s the one to bring you back from the edge Follow me, there’s no playing pretend Coming Alive, Coming Alive The weight of your sins You’ve got to survive Coming Alive, I’m Coming Alive Let’s jump off the edge Get ready to fly
