Northlane - Cypher lyrics

Turn me into a battery
If I get to be who I wanna be

No "One", no prodigy
Will speak for me
I can't touch, I can't feel
A false prophecy

The truth or a lie, this painting of thought
Black and white lines, vividity drawn
Don't drown me in a sea of machines
Don't drown me in a sea of machines
Call me back in

Turn me into a battery
If I get to be who I wanna be
No "One", no prodigy
Will speak for me
I can't touch, I can't feel
A false prophecy

"...to say yes, it may be a
Game, but it's a ghastly game
It's a grim game. It's like a child
Who's caught a fly alive and
Is picking the wings off it. The
Universe is that sort of
Scheme. It's a trap. It's the
Thing that gives you hope
Always dangling possibilities in front
Of you to keep
You going but then it grinds you up. Then it
Revives you a little like a master torturer
Keeping a person alive in
Order to experience pain."

Call me back in

No "One", no prodigy
Will speak for me
I can't touch, I can't feel
A false prophecy

No "One", no prodigy
Will speak for me
I can't touch, I can't feel
A false prophecy

Turn me into a battery
Turn me into a battery
