Ten Thousand Lines

Yep

We paint the future from this bedroom
With lots of progress, cold and heartless
And nothing lives, just twitches and moves
It's all synthetic, but it's all we've got

Thousands of wires
Spread through the halls
Thousands of eyes
Live in our walls
Now they can see just what we've done
Oh no
Now they can see what we've become

No sun, just radiation here
Get it by the lungful
No time, no way to count the years
Except by the creaking sounds in your bones

God dammit

They've got your name
They've got your number
They've got your hopes, your dreams, your future
They've got your loved ones by the throat
And soon enough they'll let you know
And I've learned enough to keep my mouth shut
I've learned enough to watch my back
And I've learned enough to become wallpaper
And blend in with the cracks

(We've thought too much, said nothing
We've heard it all, there's nothing new
We've seen the way to our undoing
And the way to yours as well)

Ten thousand lines
Run from our minds
And ten thousand plans
Spread from our hands
And now we can see just what we've done
Oh no
And now we can see what we've become
Oh no
And now we can see just where we stand
