yeah i read Gibson too

Lyrics:

Father Father, they tell me that you forgive,

Indulge me for just a minute, and pardon my will to live,

I saw you in the reflections of terminals and displays,

Go crazy from all the bleach in the light of your neon rays,

Obsessing over the texts, I struggle to understand

My mouth full of the sand from the mountain where I depart,

I’m falling free and unfettered, my life is leaving your hands,

I’m stuttered, sparking and shorted, my circuits are burnt and charred,

Father Father, I’m ready to break the ICE,

They tell me that you’re illusive and muted from all your screams,

I wondered if I could hear you before I opened my eyes,

Before I opened my mind and before I believed in screens,

Battleaxe in the cave, hacking my way to home,

I’m pretty pleased at the warmth but you’re still not letting me go,

Shaking you off my Case, making it where it counts,

Oracles and the fount of all knowledge sat in my row.

Petrified because I stared the snakes down,

Clowned because I’m not together, say I’m no professional,

Out of breath because they ran me out of town,

Saving all my air for love and pain at the confessional,

Pressure on the keys against my skin,

Pressure on the mind about the signals I let in,

Fresher than the crackle of the static in my hair and now I’m

Tragic and emphatic as I lay my panels bare.

Penitent and panicked as the weight begins to crush,

Spinning all my plates until my joints are ground to paste,

Brush away the dust on all my lights because I’m up,

Spit out all the words to taste the iron on my lips,

Dip my toe in paradise and now I say I’m drenched,

Whet my appetite on all the trappings of the board,

Threw myself in cyberspace cos I needed the wave,

Wrench my gaze from lights up along the highway by a cord,

Father Father, they tell me that you’re a bitch,

Shock me harder, they say you think I’m a bitch,

Ditch the laughter, I’d rather you hear me clear,

Imitations of joy, implications of fear,

Conversations at night, Meditation by day,

murmurs of discontent, player who likes to pray,

Lay my head on the stone, Altar of all my peers

I wonder where you went wrong,

I wonder why I’m okay,

I wonder why I’m okay,

Sleeping easy at night,

Hydra wrapped up my thoughts, Ruling my head with might,

Bright as the rising sun, hands dripping with gold,

Heat melting my heart, I never told you,

What the stars mean.

I never told you, what the stars mean

Petrified because I stared the snake down,

Gorgon’s want me frozen with a heart of rock,

Turn my back on Tessier and bright lights,

Turn my back on messy fights and tired crock,

I had to find out what the stars mean on my own,

I had to realise I’d always had the shot,

Don’t hear me crying bout the time that I gave up,

But I can hear you shrieking murder all alone,

Unplugged
