because of this
we'll exist - forever now
it's not an accident
that we've got the power

we might live
for just a grain of time
but we'll choose
how much to archive

as we wish
we'll inseminate the datastream
some want the payload
while many harvest the seeds

because of this
we'll exist - forever now
it's not an accident
that we've got the power

you can break me to bits
but you can't break me down

like an mp3
compress and annihilate
the dynamics in me
digress and degenerate

in their society
repress and disassociate
a loss of quality
oppressed - like an mp3

do I feel?
do I care?
do I erase the take,
when it’s going nowhere?

do I think?
Will I learn?
or will I loop the beat,
just to feel the burn?

our peace of mind
compressed into a file
until the end of time
we're immortalized

immortalized
if not eternal now
externalized yeah
we're on your hard drive

resist our will
with your delete key
but there are many more
packets flowing from me

because of this
we'll exist - forever now
it's not an accident
that we've got the power

when will...
when will forever end?
it's in your head

when will...
when will forever end?
it's when you're dead

like an mp3
compress and annihilate
the dynamics in me
digress and degenerate

in their society
repress and disassociate
a loss of quality
oppressed - like an mp3

do I feel?
do I care?
do I erase the take,
when it’s going nowhere?

do I think?
Will I learn?
or will I loop the beat,
just to feel the burn?
