Code Orange - A Sliver

[Verse 1]
That morning when I woke up, it seemed the world had changed
A school of cannon fodder, a church of elder states
But transience sets in and the memories erased
The world had took a deep white breath and went about their days

[Chorus]
It's hard to see anything
When you can see everything
If I can't have what they have I'll never be free
It's hard to see anything
When you can see everything
If I can't have what they have what even is me?

[Verse 2]
Completely unheard, as much as you may have felt adored
A well prepared performance for an audience of three or four
The devotees, the anons, corporate directorate
And you if you believe your bullshit

[Chorus]
It's hard to see anything
When you can see everything
If I can't have what they have I'll never be free
It's hard to see anything
When you can see everything
If I can't have what they have what even is me?

[Refrain]
I'm a sliver growing thinner
Feeling smaller every day
I'm a sliver growing thinner
Getting covered by the haze
Just a sliver growing thinner
I'm a sliver growing thinner
Feeling smaller every day

[Bridge]
Completely unheard
Your voice, your choice just a worm in the dirt
Completely unheard
Engineered at the seance of real human yearn
Nomophobia stretches the want to a need
'Til you can't feel a thing and are begging to breathe
If I'm not what you want then I'll never be free
If I'm not what you are then what even is me?

[Refrain]
I'm a sliver growing thinner
Feeling smaller every day
I'm a sliver growing thinner
Getting covered by the haze
Just a sliver growing thinner
I'm a sliver growing thinner
Feeling smaller every day
I'm a sliver, I'm a sliver, growing thinner
I'm a sliver, I'm a sliver, growing thinner (Every day)
