The Line Divides

[Bass Solo] [Verse 1] Click and swipe, swipe and feed, pixels on the screen Our fragments feed the hunger, lost within the scheme Algorithms weave and bind us, threads of cold control My spirit fades, spirit fades, a whisper in the hole [Verse 2] They sell us futures, polished steel and gleam Choice is but a menu, where the substance won't convene A thousand screens, a pixel swarm in sight Blinding all our senses, masking day and night [Verse 3] Faces in the feed, fragments in the stream Empty likes and comments, echoes of a dream We chase the validation, a curated scene But connection's just a ghost, in this digital machine [Chorus] The line divides to left, and then divides to right But who controls the split? Who summons forth this night? We're phantoms in the spotlight, actors in disguise Dancing to the tune, by unseen forces' lies [Electronic Drum Solo] [Bridge] uh-PIN-yuhnz stamped and sold, like coins of fool's delight Just pick a side, a team, and do just as they cite We shout our rage to winds, where whispers fade from sight While the puppeteers just watch the profits take their flight [Chorus] The line divides to left, and then divides to right But who controls the split? Who summons forth this night? We're phantoms in the spotlight, actors in disguise Dancing to the tune, by unseen forces' lies [build-up] My Spirit Fades... Spirit Fades... (FADES) [Outro] Smile and buy and vote and play the endless game Change is but a whisper, the rules are all the same But in my chest, a rhythm strains against the frame A defiant pulse, a surge against the grain [Bass Solo] [End]
