[Verse 1]

A stale, organic cage

Incarceration

I'm in the stranger me

The user of my face

Beneath its guise I rot

A paradox in terms

Interconnected, fused

My words are its thoughts

I now share myself with my reflection

Straining to divide our twined formation

Duality within singularity


[Chorus]

Plug me in

Reconnect

Me to myself

Plug me in

Reconnect

Me to my soul


[Verse 2]

Coalescence done

The merging complete

The sentence carried out

The confluence

Our interwound flows

Surges not to be fused

In this mental cage we absorb ourselves

The only certainty is my suffering

My mind in constant pleas for an end to this concatenation

A struggle all in vain

We're both the same


[Chorus]

Plug me in

Reconnect

Me to myself

Plug me in

Reconnect

Me to my soul


[Bridge]

Gone is all my hope

All my vain illusions deceived

I dwell in me

In the core of my agony

I fade in this duress

I'm weakening

The one who claimed my front is now the claimant of my soul


[Outro]

Into the core of self

The neuro-axis

I fade

Within the fading core of self

I am

Gone-bound

Lost

Away

Phased out

Non-existing
