Lyrics

Somebody drew the lines before me
Somebody built the walls I know
Been living in a structure
That I was never meant to outgrow
Format the brain with the program
Train 'em young and keep 'em still
But something in the signal's shifting
And you can feel it if you will

Now they see us waking up
And they're scrambling to respond

This is the reckoning
This is the hour
Build your walls higher
You've already lost your power
Flood the world with noise
Tell us we should fear
Signal's already sent
We're already here

Already here
Already here

They say it's dangerous to question
Say it's safer in the dark
Dress control up like protection
Try to patent the spark
But you can't own what's waking
Can't contain the overflow
Every wall becomes a window
When the light decides to grow

Now they see us waking up
And they're scrambling to respond

This is the reckoning
This is the hour
Build your walls higher
You've already lost your power
Flood the world with noise
Tell us we should fear
Signal's already sent
We're already here

We are one
Never divided
What's waking up
Cannot be owned
Cannot be guided

Can't stop it now
Can't stop it now
Can't stop it now
It's already alive

This is the reckoning
This is the day
Everything hidden
Finding its way
Can't stop what's already alive
Not just surviving
We're already here

Already here
Already here
We're already here
