The track is based on the 1999 sci-fi movie The Matrix...
[Verse 1: Spencer Charnas & Joe Occhiuti]
Can you see what I see?
You're connected to catastrophe
Do you know (Do you know) what I know? (What I know?)
Underneath the gun, could you be The One?
[Pre-Chorus: Spencer Charnas & Joe Occhiuti]
To take the drug, to pull the plug, to reclaim all control? (Reclaim all control)
No time to kill, so choose a pill, down the rabbit hole we go
[Chorus: Spencer Charnas]
Can you take me away to a faraway place?
Where you go, I will go
Not a moment too late (Moment too late)
[Verse 2: Spencer Charnas & Joe Occhiuti]
Can you see what I see?
Disconnected from reality
Do you know (Do you know) what I know? (What I know?)
That the end is soon, and there is no spoon
[Pre-Chorus: Spencer Charnas & Joe Occhiuti]
So take the drug, to pull the plug
To reclaim all control (Reclaim all control)
No time to kill, so choose a pill, down the rabbit hole we go
[Chorus: Spencer Charnas]
Can you take me away to a faraway place?
Where you go, I will go, not a moment too late
The Great Unknown's a stepping stone
We can't keep living like we're not alive
So can you take me away?
Screaming, "We are not afraid, we are not afraid to die"
[Bridge: Spencer Charnas]
Who can lift the blindfold to see our free will?
Strangled by their chokehold, spit out the blue pill
Who can lift the blindfold, expose atrocities?
Who can tell what time holds?
[Breakdown: Spencer Charnas]
I fulfill the prophecy
I fulfill the prophecy
Revolt, resist, reload, repeat
Let's see you dodge this
[Chorus: Spencer Charnas]
Can you take me away to a faraway place?
Where you go, I will go, not a moment too late
The Great Unknown's a stepping stone
We can't keep living like we're not alive
So can you take me away?
Screaming, "We are not afraid, we are not afraid to die?"
[Outro: Spencer Charnas]
(Down the rabbit hole we go)
We are not afraid, we are not afraid to die
(Down the rabbit hole we go)
We are not afraid, we are not afraid to die
