Zeros & Ones... Track 08 Of 11

Zeros & Ones
Derek Webb

VERSE 1
This was real
Oh this was what you..ve all come to see and feel
But I..m starting to doubt my reality
..Cause it does not last long once the cash is gone

CHORUS
Eventually all of this must become zeros and ones
Everything, everywhere, everyone, zeros and ones

VERSE 2
I..m in love
Oh I love what I can convince you of
..Cause I..m a prophet by trade
And a salesman by blood
Now I..m dying just to be
A filtered, sub-cultural version of me

CHORUS

BRIDGE
My blood is red, dripping on a page
If I..m brave enough to cut myself
But the more it sells it thins my blood

CHORUS

Does anyone else out there think that it..s crazy that we get so caught up in things that don..t matter? We live in a fake society, where fakeness leads to numbness, and we are all walking around like a bunch of zombies. I think the movie The Matrix (the sequels sucked btw) holds a lot of actual truth metaphorically speaking.. We are plugged into this machine called Society, and it literally sucks the life out of us.. We believe in the system, even though it..s killing us on the inside, we pretend like it..s the same as living... And maybe that..s the point, to trick us into thinking that it..s life all the while hardening our hearts and killing our souls... Maybe it..s time to disconnect from the machine and see what reality really is... Maybe it..s time to step out of the shells of our tiny existence and open our eyes to what is really going on around us..
