Living Life Without the Cord

[Intro]
You hate the thought of me living life without the co—

[Verse 1]
The soul's got no ties to this network in the sky and you know it
You do more than show it
Casket in the hallway, my name carved in heartache
All because I'm rollin' the way I do

[Verse 2]
You keep your heart closed, trying to build a disconnected army
That feeds and bleeds and recedes from their machines
At this point there's no denying you're too far inside
To lie about your moral means

[Pre-Chorus]
You've got me bent and broken
You've gone and crossed thе line
I tried but it was nevеr good enough
Appeasing to a choir that regurgitates lies

[Chorus]
You didn't have to chain me down
Cut me off and throw me 'round
Acting like I'm nothing 'cause I'm not like you
Alienate me, like I'm not allowed the free life
Loving it to feel alive
Disconnection's more than due
'Cause you hate the thought of me living life without the cord

[Post-Chorus]
(You hate the thought of me living life without the cord)

[Verse 3]
I'm caught between your zeitgeist
A myth as old as time
It ain't hard to conclude, my heart will stand
Against the drain of artificial exercise drowning in sand

[Verse 4]
Give me my name, executable binary encrypted with blame
But the blame is all yours when decrypted in shame
Exposed to the worlds beyond our own
Becoming slaves to the rhythm!

[Pre-Chorus]
Give me back my name!
(Objectively you're cold)
(There's no flame from tales of old)
(Casting line for your gold)
Give me back my grave!
(I'll die in the river you've spread)
Just as long as I have bled, unlike you!

[Chorus]
Chain me down
Cut me off and throw me 'round
Acting like I'm nothing 'cause I'm not like you
Alienate me, like I'm not allowed the free life
Loving it to feel alive
Disconnection's more than due
'Cause you hate the thought of me living life without the cord

[Bridge]
Grace found a way to bury underground
Alone, forgotten, and lost to time
Take me under so I lay by their side
'Cause it's better dead than alive here

[Pre-Chorus]
Cut me from the cord, bleeding from my knees
Chasing nature's path to victory
You left behind their life and now it breaks your mind in time

[Chorus]
Chain me down
Cut me off and throw me 'round
Acting like I'm nothing 'cause I'm not like you
Alienate me, like I'm not allowed the free life
Loving it to feel alive
Disconnection's more than due
'Cause you hate the thought of me living life without the cord

[Post-Chorus]
Living life without the cord!
Give me back my name
Just as long as I have bled, unlike you
