The Upload Songtext
von Brain Bent

I′ve been awaiting an elevated state of consciousness that mirrors all this useless fiction I have stored inside this cerebellum, like the haunting words of Harlan Ellison and the Elevated dementia of Philip K Dick

What a dick

But as I wait and I toil with the struggles of everyday human existence, I can't help but Feel the lines of code pulsing through myself
Because it′s so hard to realize that I have never meant anything at all And I don't want You to forget it

Conned - Duped - Betrayed - Enslaved - The upload was a lie
And I have no idea why
Conned - duped - betrayed - enslaved - The upload was a lie
And I have no idea why

Awaiting pink lights to envelope my entire world, my entire being, instead I wake up to This world defined by unexceptional-ism and filth, like why didn't anyone think that our Future could be clean, serene

Or pretty


If reality is a lie then I want in on the scam, because I could not be further from who I am, Dreaming of Tannhauser′s Gate, and Deep Space Nine, and Alderaan, and all sorts of Fucking bullshit

Conned - Duped - Betrayed - Enslaved - The upload was a lie
And I have no idea why
Conned - duped - betrayed - enslaved - The upload was a lie
And I have no idea why

Why?

But it was all a lie
Every word of it. Every single book I read, every television program I inhaled, it was all Just the desperation of a doomed species, imagining a future brighter then their own
And I began to think to myself...
What if I could recreate reality in the image of all this useless fiction? But see, that was a Fallacy, because fiction has to follow some degree of logic and reality has no such rules
The upload was a lie. And don′t you ever forget it
