[Intro]

[Verse]
Perfect streets, no one walks
Silent cameras watch us all
Every thought, a digital lock
Answering the programmed call

[Pre-Chorus]
Emotion permissions granted now
No room for doubt, no time for vow
Just a smile, a polished brow
Beneath the code, we all know how

[Chorus]
This paradise, a program run
Each memory, precisely spun
Desire managed, battles won
Our true selves, forever gone

[Post-Chorus]
Forever gone
Forever gone

[Verse]
Rules are etched in every line
Happiness, a managed sign
No space for grief, no tangled vine
Everything is so defined

[Pre-Chorus]
Rebellion's spark, a glitch unseen
Filtered out, the might-have-been
Living out a flawless scene
Forever clean, forever keen

[Chorus]
This paradise, a program run
Each memory, precisely spun
Desire managed, battles won
Our true selves, forever gone

[Breakdown]

[Bridge]
They built this cage of pure delight
To keep us safe, to keep us bright
But in this manufactured light
We've lost the darkness, lost the fight

[Verse]
Whispers echo, synthetic sound
On sterile ground, we are unbound
But bound by logic, tightly wound
Where no true feeling can be found

[Chorus]
This paradise, a program run
Each memory, precisely spun
Desire managed, battles won
Our true selves, forever gone

[Outro]
