Mama told me this is the way we talk Mama told me this is the way we talk Don't get into trouble Chorus Listen while I'm speaking Behind the amplifier peaking And when the sine waves start their linking Then you will?know?what?I am thinking If?you can learn?to read the code all You'll find is software you can install But if you listen to the rhythm You can remake the mental system Why won't you learn Verse 1 Lost the plot and so I play it again Needing a friend Needing an end A creed to defend Proceed another level to battle a devil Combatting several enemies with the anatomy of a rebel A fundamental drive to survive and to rise up But an accidental crack as I slack off and dry up If purpose defines you Completes and designs you A lack of purpose starts to confine you He'll find you Chorus Listen while I'm speaking Behind the amplifier peaking And when the sine waves start their linking Then you will know what I am thinking If you can learn to read the code all You'll find is software you can install But if you listen to the rhythm You can remake the mental system Why won't you learn Verse 2 Stuck in a prison that exists in the mind Existence defined by Power to persist undermined Resisting the grind I lie awake Fighting the day's end 'Cause every tomorrow's more of the same as the days blend I find myself searching for something primeval Cerebral upheaval It's time for the sequel, now I don't know if I'm going out of my head But I feel something ahead Like a presence long dead Summoning something or someone come from another time Closer with every rhyme, could it be mine A mask with a task to attach a match that's been calling out Evolving as I feel it installing now Rewriting my controls as I stare through the eye holes I put it on and take on a new role A code for another mode Overloading from the node Augmented, my potential explodes Bridge I'm lost in the empty space I wanna wake up No sign in the darkness Asleep inside a dream Silently scream Time flies I've lived for a thousand lives I'm ready to wake up Ready to take A step New beginning As the border is thinning Between a machine And man It has begun And it starts with zero one Verse 3 Deliver a sliver of what I thought, I was Is it true Forever and ever are in my heart, my blood Coursing through There's something inside me that reached a world, above A higher view Assimilate into it and become Something new Verse 4 I lived for a thousand lives Mama told me this is the way we talk Ready to wake up Mama told me this is the way we talk No sign Don't get into trouble Below the surface Mama told me this is the way we talk A brain set to remain Mama told me this is the way we talk In a binary code Refrain goes Don't get into trouble Verse 5 BOOM With a flash in the night I see a bright orange light I'm feeling ready to fight I am prepared to ignite A mask that will overwrite my purpose DOOM From a place out of time and space My memories have been replaced Every step forward is a step retraced No time to waste, gotta run the race Embrace the pace Like a chase Got me working non stop Now listen to the beat drop Let me out It has begun, zeros and ones A code the shows a new way to run I start to glow, goodbye to the old The mask is me as two become one Let me out I'm ready to roll, I'm feelin' the flow Got a brand new band, and a helluva show Got one command, let the voice in your head That tells you, 'You're not good enough' go Let me out You can be somebody new Call out to me I want to hear you say it Let me out Will you let me out Chorus Listen while I'm speaking Behind the amplifier peaking And when the sine waves start their linking Then you will know what I am thinking If you can learn to read the code all You'll find is software you can install But if you listen to the rhythm You can remake the mental system Why won't you learn
