You can't work out the codes in my head Every time I try to second-guess the machine I feel the laughter and the taunting logic The lights are on but there's nobody home I will never know the life that grows inside the wires Opening all the doors, freezing me to the core The paper room, it will defeat you There was never anyone inside The paper room, it will deceive you Mortal confusion swimming against the tide Perceptions pained our future regrets And the grip that we're fighting to hold And curb the unknown Becomes a coded brand new apocalypse The surface cracked and we're so panicked and bent There's a learning deeper than our minds could ever go The inevitability, the death to the ego The paper room it will defeat you There was never anyone inside The paper room it will deceive you Mortal confusion swimming against the tide
