Paper Room - Sneaker Pimps

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
