[Verse 1]

Mainframe frantically inspecting the surface

Wired sensors embracing disturbance

What started as a mental rejection

Now dancing with detecting deception

[Chorus]

Lidless

Merely a disaster in disguise

Lidless

The longer I stare the less I believe my eyes

[Verse 2]

Circumstance none more suspicious

Ungraceful, increasingly hurtful to witness

Divert me another second in this rueful turmoil

And I'll cover myself in a full body armor made of tin foil

[Chorus]

Lidless

Merely a disaster in disguise

Lidless

The longer I stare the less I believe my eyes

[Verse 3]

The movements behind the drapery

Make me question what you're saying to me

A little paranoia's all that's needed

To avoid these pitfalls - stay undefeated

Been through this enough times

To know what you say ain't what you think

Eyes so fixed between the lines

That I ain't got a second to spare to blink

[Verse 4]

Observation of the highest grade

Unfolding all behind what's being portrayed

I keep delusions out of my face

And refuse to be held in place

Your schemes exposed, unraveling

- I'm keen to show it ain't happening

Appear as a cure, but you're merely a leech

About to end prematurely that speech
