Then it was dark, and quiet, like the world had been put to bed

But I knew after what I'd seen, that I could never go to sleep again

When the lights go low you see just how alone you are

As far as I walked, it seemed I hadn't gotten anywhere

And when I looked behind me, I saw it all fade into the air

Just the faces, froze, laughing in their pale glow

So happily comatose, flat like a neon rose

And now I know things they'll never know

And I'm going somewhere, somewhere they can't go

I've seen what, seen what I've got inside

I've got to take it through to the other side

She said, "Once you've seen the world changed

Nothing will ever seem the same again"

There is something true deep in my mind

Something I've got to go down and find

It starts to rain then as I walk

They're all just pictures that can talk

Living trapped inside a frame, out here I don't even have a name

But I know, I know things they'll never know

And I'm going, going somewhere they can't go

I've seen what, seen what I've got inside

I've got to take it through to the other side

So I keep walking, walking into the unknown

But I'm so scared, I'm so afraid to go

Mother find me, mother I'm lost here all alone

But I know I've got to, got to get there on my own

I asked the pictures where to go, they stared back at me like stones

Warm like bodies but so cold, so full of veins but got no roll

A world of strangers staring back, still plugged in, but can't

Connect If you can't see me, am I even here?

If you turned me off, would I disappear?

I wish I could stay, but I've played this game

Where every single day is the same

It's so hard to walk on, by yourself

Through the paragons of nothingness

And I know, I know things they'll never know

And I'm going, going somewhere they can't go

I've seen what, seen what I've got inside

I've got to take it through to the other side
