[The Decision (Prospect 2 speaks):] Built to destroy Born to compress Every worry Every idea Push it deep down The blood vessel cover The skin suit of anxiety Built to destroy Born to compress Every worry Every idea Push it deep down The blood vessel cover The skin suit of anxiety Never speak a word Just do as you're told and compete Compete for success, for health, for sport Climb the mountain of limbs Built to destroy Born to compress Every worry Every idea Push it deep down The blood vessel cover The skin suit of anxiety Build the walls around me A covered land mine Every smile, every itch A covered land mine Push it deep down Put your head under the ground Worm discussion Worm discussion Built to destroy Born to dominate As I am you You will never know Just like all the fools before you Here is what we must do She writes: I awake to a cold touch. Two arms in four-armed bed. The touch of wind wrapping around me. I'm trying to follow its scent. The scent of isolation. Every door opened, every aspect of our life... gone. Hauling around our memories. Every corner a display of our life. A life I assume will never be the same again. No signs, no clues. A game that I will question until the end. Where have you gone? Was I ever important? The late nights lend ideas, but nothing to gather actual progress Years go by. The constant stare. The constant grip inside. Every organ grinding. Every day seems easier until I step back in our box. Boxed in. Surrounded by life, while suffocating inside a poor version of one. Grip the match, set the fire. Don't save a thing Rebirth. Reborn. Now this is progress. The black box will reveal only this. I will sit. Sit and wait until not a breath escapes my body. Burning in our box. What did all of this even mean? More objects to represent a status. One we can't even prove. Hide behind what we have taken. You have done this. The memory of me will leave with the ash of lost treasures. Goodbye to you. Goodbye to everything She speaks: Was I ever really alive? Did I stay, did I stay in his mind? Goodbye to all I've known I love you Goodbye to all I've known I love you Rebirth Reborn Rebirth Reborn [Prospect 2:] Do as we are built Machines for the future Bright eyed and ready for life The dual gods of our time Of all time They will never see us coming They will never see us coming Let's end it all Start from scratch Patch the uniform and let the galaxy form a comfortable replacement We will not be missed Goodbye to everything Start from scratch Patch the uniform and let the galaxy form a comfortable replacement We will not be missed Goodbye to everything [Prospect 1:] Doing as one's told A puppet through fear The crossed finger clicking sounds Inner anxiety with a smile Doing as one's told A puppet through fear The crossed finger clicking sounds Inner anxiety with a smile Why can't we step back? Why can't we step back? Are we really this important? Just because we can doesn't mean we should (Let things happen naturally) Personal resets through selfish release At least I will enjoy The worry slips under the door You won't see me coming You won't see me coming
