lyrics
Look up to the window! We’ve been tapping all night
You’ve held the world as a suspect; we’re here to tell you, you’re right
Focus up your eyes a bit; yes, you’re seeing us straight
We’ve been trying to reach you, hope it isn’t too late
You’ve always had really vivid dreams, you try to write them down
We’re begging you to swim across, but you wake up and drown
We’re gonna be more direct with you, looking for the quantum leap
Do you really want the waking life? Do you really think that this is sleep?
I don’t think it’s right, do you?
I don’t think it’s right for you to be so let down, so often, in the morning
Conditions are perfect, now we’re really on track
Wave out to the world you know; you can never go back
We’ve all been talking, too, we think you’ve got the stuff
You’re strong and perceptive and cool and creative, and you’ve never felt “enough”
I don’t think it’s right, do you?
I don’t think it’s right for you; come and ride with us, we’ll save your friends and family
Come and walk up the drawbridge, hold the chromium key
Your new home has your eyes all wide; you haven’t started to see
We all listen to the music too, we all have discerning ears
We’ve built you a space with the grandest piano, and I will be your engineer
Sit over here at the bench now, put your headphones on
Now we’ve got you all mic’d up, go on and play me a song
But something’s feeding back, you can only hear that sound
You’re turning around, you’re turning around, you’re turning around and I’m not standing there
The levers and doors, every tile on the floors, all the screens and the sound equipment
In fact, about everything past the partition is black as nonexistent
Soon you will go with them, and you already might’ve guessed:
It’s a lie, it’s a lie! Stop hitting yourself! It’s a lie, it’s a lie! Why are you kidding yourself?
Thought you were special? Thought you were too good for dinner? Now that is embarrassing
Exempt from the life you were given, you thought you were gunning for hero or heroine
Thought you’d be taken aside, told you could go home…
...there was never a home, there was never a home, it was never a home
