Simulation (The Coded Man)

This isn't real
This isn't a demonstration
This isn't real
This is a simulation
This isn't real
This isn't imitation
This isn't real
This is a simulation

Brain strapped to a cloud
Adrift in a system
In which I remain
To never break out
No breath and no death
And no questioning
Am I dreaming out loud
Receiving, completing, unfeeling
I am
The coded man

This isn't real
None of this is something that
You're even now imagining
The doors, the floors
The windows and walls
Formulated, generated
Instantly disseminated

Timed perfection
Or natural selection
The beast inside your closet
Is deposited perception

The villains, the heroes
All ones and zeros
Carbon
Copy
Not you
Not me

Brain strapped to a cloud
Adrift in a system
In which I remain
To never break out
No breath and no death
And no questioning
Am I dreaming out loud
Receiving, completing, unfeeling
I am
The coded man

Brain strapped to a cloud
A glitch in the system
In which I remain
To never break out
No breath and no death
And no questioning
Am I dreaming out loud
Receiving, completing, unfeeling
Believing I am
The coded man
