Lyrics of 'Zero One' by The Living Tombstone

(Mama told me this is the way we talk)
(Mama told me this is the way we talk)
(Don’t get into trouble)

Listen while I'm speaking
Behind the amplifier peaking
And when the sine waves start their linking
Then you will know what I am thinking
If you can learn to read the code all
You’ll find is software you can install
But if you listen to the rhythm
You can remake the mental system
Why won’t you learn?

Lost the plot and so I play it again
Needing a friend
Needing an end
A creed to defend
Proceed another level to battle a devil
Combatting several enemies with the anatomy of a rebel
A fundamental drive to survive and to rise up
But an accidental crack as I slack off and dry up
If purpose defines you
Completes and designs you
A lack of purpose starts to confine you
He’ll find you

Listen while I'm speaking
Behind the amplifier peaking
And when the sine waves start their linking
Then you will know what I am thinking
If you can learn to read the code all
You’ll find is software you can install
But if you listen to the rhythm
You can remake the mental system
Why won’t you learn?

Stuck in a prison that exists in the mind
Existence defined by
Power to persist undermined
Resisting the grind
I lie awake
Fighting the day’s end
'Cause every tomorrow’s more of the same as the days blend
I find myself searching for something primeval
Cerebral upheaval
It’s time for the sequel, now
I don’t know if I'm going out of my head
But I feel something ahead
Like a presence long dead
Summoning something or someone come from another time
Closer with every rhyme, could it be mine?
A mask with a task to attach a match that’s been calling out
Evolving as I feel it installing now
Rewriting my controls as I stare through the eyeholes
I put it on and take on a new role
A code for another mode
Overloading from the node
Augmented, my potential explodes

I'm lost in the empty space
I wanna wake up
No sign in the darkness
Asleep inside a dream
Silently scream
Time flies
I’ve lived for a thousand lives
I'm ready to wake up
Ready to take
A step
New beginning
As the border is thinning
Between a machine
And man
It has begun
And it starts with zero one

Deliver a sliver of what I thought, I was
Is it true?
Forever and ever are in my heart, my blood
Coursing through
There’s something inside me that reached a world, above
A higher view
Assimilate into it and become
Something new

I lived for a thousand lives (mama told me this is the way we talk)
Ready to wake up (mama told me this is the way we talk)
No sign (don't get into trouble)
Below the surface (mama told me this is the way we talk)
A brain set to remain (mama told me this is the way we talk)
In a binary code
Refrain goes (don't get into trouble)

With a flash in the night
I see a bright orange light
I'm feeling ready to fight
I am prepared to ignite
A mask that will overwrite my purpose
Doom
From a place out of time and space
My memories have been replaced
Every step forward is a step retraced
No time to waste, gotta run the race
Embrace the pace
Like a chase
Got me working non stop
Now listen to the beat drop
(Let me out)
It has begun, zeros and ones
A code the shows a new way to run
I start to glow, goodbye to the old
The mask is me as two become one
(Let me out)
I'm ready to roll, I'm feelin' the flow
Got a brand new band, and a helluva show
Got one command, let the voice in your head
That tells you, 'you're not good enough' go
(Let me out)
You can be somebody new
Call out to me
I want to hear you say it
Let me out
Will you let me out?

Listen while I'm speaking
Behind the amplifier peaking
And when the sine waves start their linking
Then you will know what I am thinking
If you can learn to read the code all
You’ll find is software you can install
But if you listen to the rhythm
You can remake the mental system
Why won’t you learn?
