LeadTight octaves when fast; long notes at half-time

Moves the recording to the start of this part

EA/AbDE

E rings for about ten seconds, then the A/Ab D E figure once

AADE

Lab rats gone rogue, embracing the experiment

Grunts and blips, glitch in their microchips

Are those even words? Grief gets blurred

Delicious fever, let my brain burn

A/AbDE (hold)

Straight into half time for the chorus

BmG5DEmEmAA

Plunge into chaotic spasms of the simulation

Amorphous avatars, no inhibitions

Lights blink, limbs cut the haze

We build our own gilded cage

BmG5DEmEmAA

No pause — speed up, straight into the intro riff

EA/AbDE

AADE

It's a shitty job, worry you might lose it

Way may be dark but we're not yet defeated

It's an itch that dilates, we scratch like primates

When the fever breaks, history gets deleted

A/AbDE (hold)

BmG5DEmEmAA

Plunge into chaotic spasms of the simulation

Amorphous avatars, no inhibitions

Lights blink, limbs cut the haze

We build our own gilded cage

BmG5DEmEmAA

Five more times, the last three with an A pickup; ends Bm → G
