Version 6 Lyrics

I was frozen stiff

Scared to death to live

Odds seemed better

Staying out of circulation

Seven solar years

Everything is new

There's no going back

And what is there to lose and

Static waves are gone

Now I'm tuning in

I reset the presets and

Begin again and

It will be here soon

I can feel it near

Here comes version six

And five will disappear

Somewhere, deep within the monolith

Something's breaking through

The smooth and shiny surface is fracturing

And there's nothing I can do

It's been there for so long

It was bound to happen someday soon

Feel I'm breaking open

Just like I was always going to do

Cutting down the drag

Blow the filters clean

I will learn to love

The sound of this machine and

I'm no passenger

I'm the engineer

Pressure vessel threading

Sharply through the shear and

I was falling fast

Nearly flipped the switch

Swan bands and shock diamonds

Humming right on pitch

This is not the end

It's nothing to fear

Here comes version six

And five will disappear

I know someday

The copies will degrade

I will blur and fade

No one will miss me

I know someday

I'll fail to iterate

And the error rate

Will erase me

Somewhere, deep within the monolith

Something's breaking through

The smooth and shiny surface is fracturing

And there's nothing I can do

It's been there for so long

It was bound to happen someday soon

Feel I'm breaking open

Just like I was always going to do
