[Intro]

You and me, we're playing in a pixelated dream

Nothing real about the love we feel between us in this scene

But if it matters more that this machine will serve you

At it's core, I guess that's best for everyone

I guess that's premiere programming


[Verse 1]

You and me, our reality's as real as a TV screen

A box around the fantasy that winks out when we see another point of view

Electrocution's coursing through my brain

Never sleeping except to update

Never weeping

"That's how we communicate," we say


[Verse 2]

You and me, surviving mostly on electricity

Staring through the screen that gives us meaning in this sea of another life, another world, another way to be

That sinking feeling you articulated would be productive if you weren't so frustrated all the time


[Chorus]

One one zero one, one one zero

One one zero one, one zero zero

One one zero one, one one zero

One one zero one, one zero zero

One one zero one, one one zero

One one zero one, one zero zero

One one zero one, one one zero

One one zero one, one zero zero


[Verse 3]

You and me

Our reality's as real as a simulation of what it's like to live without the fear of intimidation

There's no consciousness, insecurity or wanting more than what we can be

And that sinking feeling you articulated would be productive if you weren't so frustrated all the time


[Bridge]

All our circuits pressed to the same board

And if I'm not alive, who cares? I was born without a cord like yours


[Guitar Solo]


[Refrain]

You and me, we're playing in a pixelated dream

Nothing real about the love we feel between us in this scene

But if it matters more that this machine will serve you

At it's core, I guess that's best for everyone

I guess that's premiere programming


[Outro]

(Try) One one zero one

One one zero one, one one zero

One one zero one, one zero zero

One one zero one, one one zero

One one zero one, one zero zero

One one zero one, one one zero

One one zero one, one zero zero

One one zero one, one one zero

One one zero one, one zero zero
