[Verse 1: Tilian & Jon Mess]
Do you crave a greater reason to exist?
Have you always known that symmetry is bliss?
We know you see the pattern
Lay in your lap, think of your path
Philosophy don't bother me, come back when you're trash
You are welcome here but you must come alone
You know everything is everywhere is home
Do you see it?
[Chorus: Tilian]
Prisoner, prisoner
We found you
We feel you breathing
Are you there?
Can you hear us calling you?
We'll never judge you
[Verse 2: Jon Mess & Tillian]
Run out of battery
Learn how to patronize
You gotta obtain, sustain, that guy
No time to make a deal today
We just push that other guy outta the way
Nothing's in a vacuum
Space-time has no value
We're all connected on this wave
[Chorus: Tilian]
Prisoner, prisoner
We found you
We feel you breathing
Are you there?
Can you hear us calling you?
We'll never judge you
[Bridge: Jon Mess]
They spoke with potent pain
To all that's broken
To tears in rain
But every side was the same
No coin to flip
[Outro: Tilian & Jon Mess]
Give yourself a medal, you just met the devil
You're the last in the world to find another false god
Give yourself a medal for dancing with the devil
You're the last in the world
Come back down to crippling doubt
Well, Billy backs abortion and eye cream
Smokes a pack of Christian Bale and fucks on an island
Well, smooth as oscillation of sine waves
Get off the high horse and fly the spy plane
Classic acid, put me back in the casket
Weave me into the fabric
The filter is freaking out
