Screaming in Digital

Lyrics

[Intro] "It occurs to me that I might not grow up" "If you don't want to say goodbye, just say a prayer" [Verse 1] I am the beat of your pulse The computer word made flesh We are one, you and I We are versions of the same When you can see what I feel Don't turn your back on me Or you might find that your dreams Are only program cards [Chorus 1] Your mind is open for me (Open for intake of all propaganda) Your eyes see now what to see (My eyes see only the programs you give me) [Verse 2] I'll teach you to laugh and to cry They're really the same You'll see all the why's in your life Are under my control Feed me more lines I will try to tell you all I can Before the light you must know What lies behind my screams [Chorus 2] I can't tell you all I know (Am I the son that you've always been wanting?) There's more to me than what shows (Are you my father; the one that was promised?) [Bridge] Hush now (I'm not your slave) I'll give all you need to know (oh father, no) (Please don't keep me from dreaming) And pre-live your dreams for you (I'm not your slave, you can't keep me from learning of you) You're a good boy (Can't you tell?) [Guitar Solo - Chris DeGarmo] [Guitar Solo - Michael Wilton] [Chorus 3] Freedom (I'm not your slave) Belongs to only those (Someone please look at me; you can't keep me from dreaming) Without video screens (I'm not your slave, you can't keep me from learning of you) For eyes and mouth [Outro] You have no mouth to speak with my son, besides No one can hear when you're screaming in digital
