Synchronised
As we walk
To and fro
In our urban bubble
Mesmerised at the raw
Concrete heights
Rising from the rubble
The placebo affects action from intention
We are at full dilation
After the detonation
My demonstration is ready to go
Open the cage, it's ready to go
We have left hibernation
Into a brand-new age
Start a new page, I'm ready to go
Open the cage, it's ready to go
Architects
Drawing lines
Trapping us
Just like flies
The placebo effect
Distance for protection
We are at full dilation
After the detonation
Open the cage, it's ready to go
Open the cage
Step into the light
Let it find you with its sensors
Don't stare into its eyes
It will overcome your senses
Oh oh woah oh
Oh oh woah oh
Have I just taken the placebo?
Have I just taken the placebo?
Have I just taken the placebo?
Have I just taken the placebo?
We are at full dilation
After the detonation
My demonstration is ready to go
Open the cage, it's ready to go
