The Machine Will Tell Us So - Papercuts

The lieutenant patted me on the chest*

You look so nervous, don’t be afraid

Whatever lies out there can’t be as strange

As the place from which you came

So when you’re ready, the machine will call your name

Where you are now will be a shadow of the world you will have known

Don’t be scared, put your fears aside and strap on the electrodes

If this lies beyond, the machine will tell us so

Dreaming of you on a birthday wish (?)

So when you’re ready, the machine will call your name

Where you are now will be a shadow of the world you will have known

Don’t be scared, put your fears aside and strap on your electrodes

If this lies beyond, the machine will tell us so
