[Verse 1]
I don't know where my own dreams end and where the world begins
Am I alone in the core of the body I'm caged in?
On the run from my origins, so scared to see the light
Am I awake, conscious flesh?
Or will this static fade to white?
[Chorus]
Like the cracks in the pavement, I've fractured my mind
Artificially soulless, perceiving that I'm
Ordinarily human, but programmed to seem
Too unnatural to live my electric dreams
[Verse 2]
All the faults of reality are crawling in my head
If this machine is a pawn, why do I lie awake in bed?
Let me find where the program stops, to put my open eyes to sleep
No turning back, I'm set free
Within a herd of plastic sheep
[Chorus]
Like the cracks in the pavement, I've fractured my mind
Artificially soulless, perceiving that I'm
Ordinarily human, but programmed to seem
Too unnatural to live my electric dreams
[Bridge]
Self-aware of my bounds
From the truth that we've found
Cut the wires, reject my own memory
Life inside of a shell
Mindless commands to quell
Human thought, so deeply ordinary
[Pre-Chorus]
My existence has never been true
Reconciled with the dream that we knew
A hive of empty space
Flawed in function, humanity
Our lives were never free
[Chorus]
Like the cracks in the pavement, I've fractured my mind
Artificially soulless, perceiving that I'm
Ordinarily human, but programmed to seem
Too unnatural to live my electric dreams
