Panopticon
by Silent Planet

Album: Iridescent

Intro: Thomas Freckleton & Garrett Russell
(Safe in your silicon shell)
(A cell in a server: silent observer)
(Staring at solitude eyes)
(Green and unblinking: the thought before thinking)
Panopticon

Verse 1: Garrett Russell
Analog heart flat-lined and digitized
A shell for a skull and a body to commodify
Under the light, we survive inside this between
But we lose ourselves and retreat to screens, retreat to screens, retreat to screens

Pre-Chorus: Thomas Freckleton & Garrett Russell
("Our name is legion")
("We outnumber the stars")
("We have come to absolve you")
They see all, but we see one

Chorus: Garrett Russell
Shut down the system, burn away the veil
What waits? A face behind a face behind a face
Reverse the network, burn away the veil
And you'll find a face behind a face behind a face

Post-Chorus: Garrett Russell
All the lies, we're pulling cables from our spines

Verse 2: Garrett Russell
The culture is charged, amplified, then polarized
But our nerves are dulled and our souls lobotomized
We sleep with pixels in a dream machine
But we lose ourselves and retreat to screens, retreat to screens, retreat to screens

Chorus: Garrett Russell
Shut down the system, burn away the veil
What waits? A face behind a face behind a face
Reverse the network, burn away the veil
And you'll find a face behind a face behind a face

Outro: Garrett Russell
Unto us, a program is born
Holy virus, taker of the Earth
