[Intro] 5000 AD Synthetic Universe [Verse 1] They sold the sky by the acre Put our names in a file Call it progress, call it mercy Same old blade with a smile Clockwork judges on the screen Nodding like they own truth Every promise got a barcode Every child got a queue You can smell the burnt plastic On the paper they call law We been counting broken futures While they feed on what we saw [Pre-Chorus] Round and round Same machine You and I Stuck between Round and round Under glass Say the word Make it crack [Chorus] Synthetic Universe Synthetic Universe Who bought the night? Who stole the earth? Synthetic Universe Synthetic Universe We see through lies We know the curse [Verse 2] Quantum dust in the gutters Little sparks in my hands They keep folding up the cities Like they never had plans Mirrors dressed as leaders With their clean white teeth Telling us to stay patient While they bury the beat I seen hunger in the data I seen mercy in the rust I seen kids with their voices Turn to smoke and dust But the loop ain’t holy And the loop ain’t fate If the door keeps spinning Then we kick that gate [Pre-Chorus] Round and round Same machine You and I Stuck between Round and round Under glass Say the word Make it crack [Chorus] Synthetic Universe Synthetic Universe Who bought the night? Who stole the earth? Synthetic Universe Synthetic Universe We see through lies We know the curse [Bridge] Fully lit exposure Now the frame don’t hide Every lie in the daylight Every grip, every wire Let it tremble Let it fold Let the cold code show We were born for the break Not the lock, not the hold [Chorus] Synthetic Universe Synthetic Universe Who bought the night? Who stole the earth? Synthetic Universe Synthetic Universe We see through lies We know the curse
