The Pale King - Adaptation Lyrics

There's a story that scientists had built an intelligent computer
The first question they asked it was, "is there a God?"
The computer replied
"There is now"
And a bolt of lightning struck the plug
So it couldn't be turned off
I feel strain on my head
Can you be straight with me
Or should I find someone
Who will let me be, not the one I want
But the one I have to be to see
I'd join the game if the rules stayed the same
Like a puzzle with no pieces you would tell me that I
Can't be the one I want
But the one I need to be to see
To see this through
Everyone has a hand tied to my wrists
Wireless cords pulling clenched in fists
I'm free to choose choices you present
And you will be my catalyst
It takes all the runnin' to stay in the same place
I can go against the grain and make the change
But you can never not participate
You can never not participate
The climate changed
And thawed the time I thought would always stay the same
I saw your face
And I still love you
But you got old way too fast
And I can't keep up
Should I wait for the silver lining in my hair
Where I go deaf and blind
And never never never never see
See this through
Everyone has a hand tied to my wrists
Wireless cords pulling clenched in fists
I'm free to choose choices you present
And you will be my catalyst
It takes all the runnin' to stay in the same place
I can go against the grain and make the change
But you can never not participate
You can never not participate
Tell me when you're finally complete
Tell me when you're finally complete
Tell me when you're finally complete
