lyrics

Emily lay half asleep, trying hard for drifting
but subtle thoughts left her mind wondering
she remembers being young, like a vague specific
like she's watching back a tape seen long ago

a dying bug, a carousel
all of the things that she once knew were memories

but she can't recall, unimportant thoughts,
it's like she slept through things uninteresting

so she takes a walk, down darkened halls
to the one door that never seems to open
the keypad stairs, and now she's scared
what if the door reveals a greater knowing?

her fingers graze, though she knows the keys
her parents are so predictable
the numbers sing, like a chord misplayed
she's cold and now, the door is opening

emily, moves quite through the door,
she tries to be a ghost
a room kept full, of memories of her
and receipts for something else

a day of purchase for machine replacements
for a soul that they had lost
a room kept full, of synthetic wires and code
made to replace the old

she takes her clothes off to see her reflection
inspecting quality of work
the mirror stares back at the dueling image
another copy of a girl

salted from her eyes, visceral reaction
triggered by a set of impulse charge controls
she packs some things, while the message rings
she never wants to see this girls parents again
she walks down roads, never seen before
until the cities broken down ad desolate

her steps fell short, like the earth stood
by broken lips, a man unusual
though badged and armed, she knows somethings wrong
as club meets skull, cement to break the fall

eyes open
awakened from the pain
the pressure of a man
inside her tomb
and he's forcing her to work
with the motion of his

pretend your at home confined in safety
instead of naked n a hall
she knows her worth
cause you're nothing but a shell, a replacement for a girl

she is nothing but a shell
just a copy of a girl
memories have kept her real
