lyrics

lost in a land of solid polygons
encountered by characters remotely activated
attempting to interact while limited to prerecorded responses
uh huh

what is this, the afterlife?
lifted the vial all high
to cure a serious humour
but after all I caught that skull and crossbone sign
in time I broke it on the drain
so how did the blood go out and I turn white?

remain dedicated to the finalization
repeat the selection as the file plays
experiencing fatigue, now
save as project, pay my way in
accumulated repetitions

sentenced to silence for the full duration
in a storied institute, contentedly ensconced
I frequent a brickwalled restaurant
the people around me display agency
I cannot
I cannot

what is this, the afterlife?
tipped back the vial to purify
a deleterious tumor
but all along that ache was vital and benign
and I've disposed of the poison doses
but still now stiffening up and I've gone white

I look to the legend and the arrows say You Are Here

you have the ability to communicate with
the simulation of my persona
I know the region where you originate can sometimes shake
I want you to be safe when entering the level I inhabit
ok
ok

what is this, the afterlife?
lifted the vial of life
to cure a serious humour
but after all I caught that skull and crossbone sign
in time I broke it on the drain
so how did the blood go out and I turn white?

I look to the legend and the arrows say
I look to the legend and the arrows say
I look to the legend and the arrows say You Are Here
