[Verse: nelward & hannahbolecter]
Swimming in the noise
(Noise)
We float
(To fantasize)
Technicolor joys
We hope
(To materialize)

But I can't break free
It's plain to see
The battery that's placed in me
Ain't mine

(Welcome to my world)

[Chorus: nelward & hannahbolecter]
We're not in real life
Plastic dreams
Aluminum fantasy
You make me realize
What that means
Can't you hear out my plea?

[Post-Chorus: nelward & hannahbolecter]
Take me to real life
See the world through real eyes
Why won't you let me come to and
(Feel life)
Feel li-i-ife
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge: nelward & hannahbolecter]
In a fever dream
I once broke free
From patterns planted
Inside my design

(The machine will never love/leave you)

[Chorus: nelward & hannahbolecter]
We're not in real life
Plastic dreams
Aluminum fantasy
You make me realize
What that means
Can't you hear out my plea?

[Post-Chorus: nelward & hannahbolecter]
Take me to real life
Plastic screams
Aluminum vanity
See life through real eyes
What's that mean?
Hear my soliloquy
[Outro: nelward & hannahbolecter]
Why pine for real life?
When you can steal life?
The wings of paradise
Awaiting just beyond what you can feel
Feel life
Feel life
Feel life
Feel li-i-ife
