lyrics

Feel itself blink;
boot mode, it begin to think.
User pilot
automaton toward the brink.

Circuit/nerves aware;
universe don’t seem to care.
One way to go:
user trapped inside the hold.

All my friends stay in the hostel.

What’s in the bag?
I see creation,
I see an empty sky.
What’s in the bag?
I guess
I will never know why.

Lucidity ain’t right.

All my friends stay in the hostel.
