Lyrics

Another night dissolves inside the screen
Scrolling through the wreckage of your dreams
You had a purpose - can you feel it bleeding?
Or did the algorithm drown the screaming?

You chose to come here
You fought to get in
Now you're lying on the couch
Watching someone else's skin

How will you score?
How will you score?
When the simulation ends
And they're reading back the war
Every wasted hour, every numbing hit
How will you score when they're counting it?

Games within a game within a game
You built a castle in a castle made of frames
Entertainment hollowed to the bone
Playing other people's lives and not your own

This cost you something back in Arkhe
Time and resources you can't get back
Now you're burning through the allocation
Scrolling, swiping, fading into black

How will you score?
How will you score?
When the simulation ends
And they're reading back the war
Every wasted hour, every numbing hit
How will you score when they're counting it?

Could you find that meaning here
In a more magnificent way?
Could you take this flesh and breath
And make it burn today?

You are not a victim and you are not a slave
You are a consciousness that chose this wave
So ride it or lie down - the choice was always yours
But don't pretend the game has locked the doors

How will you score?
How will you score?
How will you score?
