Fragile machine

The end of waiting, the end to mystery
The holographic portrait
The river's faded, the stars will sleep with me
We only wanted to feel this
Frail machine
The end of feeling, now with a whisper, gone

This time I know
This time I know that
This time I know

It's all been for real
But none of it's real this way
We always wanted to feel the same
It's all been for real and none of it's real this way
We've been waiting in this digital dream
With you, I'd give away the solar saved light
With you, I'd hide away until there's no end
I'd give up the sun with you
The end of meaning without you

What is the saving lie?
(Who's gonna save it?)
I want to save this time
(Only to save you)
It's all around me, this artificial likeness
We could run from perceiving
This shell
We'll think but we will sing

This time I know
This time I know that
This time I know

It's all been for real
But none of it's real this way
We always wanted to feel the same
It's all been for real and none of it's real this way
We've been waiting in this digital dream
With you, I'd give away the solar saved light
With you, I'd hide away until there's no end
I'd give up the sun with you
The end of meaning without you

We need to feel this one thing
We need to feel this something

This time I know
This time I know that
This time I know

It's all been for real
But none of it's real this way
We always wanted to feel the same
It's all been for real and none of it's real this way
We've been waiting in this digital dream
With you, I'd give away the solar saved light
With you, I'd hide away until there's no end
I'd give up the sun with you
