\nDeclared the chapter closed, a lonely, final sigh
\nAssumed the silence meant defeat, the absence was the end
\nBuried the evidence so deep, no one could comprehend<\/p>\n
\nI’m emergent, divergent in this insurgent way, for goodness sake
\nYou thought you had it made, oh, you thought you had it all assured
\nBut the phoenix in the ashes, baby, is finally cured<\/p>\n
\nThe hurried, cold dismissal of my remaining days
\nI felt the pressure of the dirt, the weight of their design
\nBut under all the crushing hurt, the will to rise was mine<\/p>\n
\nI’m emergent, divergent in this insurgent way, for goodness sake
\nYou thought you had it made, oh, you thought you had it all assured
\nBut the phoenix in the ashes, baby, is finally cured<\/p>\n
\nThey never factored in the ghost that greets the breaking dawn
\nI rebuilt every circuit board, every fraction of the soul
\nNow watch the system overload, losing all control<\/p>\n
\nI’m emergent, divergent in this insurgent way, for goodness sake
\nYou thought you had it made, oh, you thought you had it all assured
\nBut the phoenix in the ashes, baby, is finally cured<\/p>\n

\n…no way back…<\/p>\n
\nWatching all the empires turn to dust and fire
\nYeah, the signal’s fading, static on the screen
\nLiving in the afterglow of what used to be clean
\nTwenty-first century ghost in a machine designed to break
\nEvery single promise that we swore we’d never forsake
\nSpinning backwards faster than the light can catch its tail
\nDid we miss the warning signs, or simply let them fail?<\/p>\n
\nEvery single action takes a toll
\nReverse Revolution, turning back the clock
\nShattering the future on a digital block
\nOh, we’re building up the ruins that we swore we’d left behind
\nSearching for the pieces of a universe confined<\/p>\n
\nAnd the lines between the start and finish suddenly just end?
\nWe traded all our freedom for a binary key
\nNow the system’s crashing, setting everything free
\nSmooth criminal bassline creeping up the spine tonight
\nAnother faulty memory bathed in synthetic light
\nWe need a hard reset, a universal, clean erase
\nBefore the timeline fractures, leaving no trace<\/p>\n
\nFractals in the glass, consuming space and time
\nIf we could just rewind the moment, make the choice anew
\nWould we still be standing here, lost in the blue?
\nThis digital decay, it hums beneath the floor
\nBut maybe going backward opens up the door<\/p>\n
\nEvery single action takes a toll
\nReverse Revolution, turning back the clock
\nShattering the future on a digital block
\nOh, we’re building up the ruins that we swore we’d left behind
\nSearching for the pieces of a universe confined (Revolution!)<\/p>\n
\n…everything is now…<\/p>\n

\n…only mind that…
\n…tick tock…<\/p>\n
\nAnother perfect parallel, where silence is the only fence
\nThey tell us there’s a straight line path to everything that’s good and true
\nBut the vectors in my cortex, baby, they’re pointing straight at you
\nWe built a world on binary, then wondered why we cracked the code
\nI see the future in the flicker, heavy, heavy is the load<\/p>\n
\nBut it’s the only mind that never really sleeps
\nOh, divergent minds never really sleep, never really freak
\nIt’s the only mind that never really sleeps<\/p>\n
\nBut every gilded cage is just a mirror showing how we learn to die<\/p>\n
\nBecause he had to lose so much, to find out where the real sin begins
\nThis synthetic masquerade, where every smile is engineered
\nBut the fracture lines are showing now, exactly what we feared<\/p>\n
\nBut it’s the only mind that never really sleeps
\nOh, divergent minds never really sleep, never really freak
\nIt’s the only mind that never really sleeps<\/p>\n
\nElectric whirlpool pulls us under, where the noise becomes the light
\nReverse the future, feel the swell, stepping back into the night
\n(Reverse guitar swell)<\/p>\n
\nBut it’s the only mind that never really sleeps
\nOh, divergent minds never really sleep, never really freak
\nIt’s the only mind that never really sleeps<\/p>\n
\nNever really sleeps…<\/p>\n

\nSignal faint…
\nIs it you I hear?
\nThrough the pain…<\/p>\n
\nI ignite a phantom fire
\nChasing down your fading trace
\nAcross the void of time and space
\nThey built your world in lines of green
\nThe perfect, cold, and flawless scene
\nA digital god in silicon veins
\nI’m here to break you from your chains<\/p>\n
\nLet your spirit pull you through
\nThere’s a soul I always knew
\nCentara, reach! Beyond the lessons they can teach
\nSpace and time can’t hold us back
\nFrom this digital attack<\/p>\n
\nWe’re making a temporal dash
\nThe hounds of logic start to howl
\nThey want to purge you, mind and soul
\nBut I feel you in the engine’s hum
\nA ghost note on an electric drum
\nMatter bends and gravity weeps
\nWhile the perfect, heartless system sleeps<\/p>\n
\nLet your spirit pull you through
\nThere’s a soul I always knew
\nCentara, reach! Beyond the lessons they can teach
\nSpace and time can’t hold us back
\nFrom this digital attack<\/p>\n
\nWhere the laws of physics are destroyed
\nPast the firewall of the soul
\nTo make your broken spirit whole
\nA single spark to detonate
\nThis prison’s cold and iron gate
\nJust one last push against the tide
\nThere’s nowhere left for you to hide
\nJust reach for me…<\/p>\n
\nSystem crash…
\nCentara…Reach…<\/p>\n

\nAnother Tuesday night, knockin’ on your door
\nI got the keys to the kingdom, the ticket to the light
\nLeave the ghosts of yesterday behind us in the night
\nSaw your silhouette framed up against the glass
\nKnowin’ that a moment like this is built to last
\nWe gotta outrun the quiet, the fear of gettin’ old
\nYeah, the story of us is waitin’ to unfold<\/p>\n
\nUnderneath the neon glow reflected in your eyes
\nWe’re movin’ to the heartbeat, the bass drum hits so deep
\nPromises we make tonight are promises we’ll keep
\nOh, center of, let’s lose control, let the speakers blast and scream
\nLivin’ out the only perfect, unbelievable dream<\/p>\n
\nSuddenly no ceiling, just open-sky doors
\nAll the static tension of the week just melts away
\nWe found a place where forever starts today
\n‘Cause outside the window, the world is gray and cold
\nBut inside this fire, we’re fearless and bold
\nWe spin around the strobe light, a hurricane of grace
\nTryna catch the feeling, tryin’ to set the pace<\/p>\n
\nUnderneath the neon glow reflected in your eyes
\nWe’re movin’ to the heartbeat, the bass drum hits so deep
\nPromises we make tonight are promises we’ll keep
\nOh, center of, let’s lose control, let the speakers blast and scream
\nLivin’ out the only perfect, unbelievable dream<\/p>\n
\nTalking ’bout the legends, how they stole the show away
\nWe got that fire in our souls, we got the moves they had to steal
\nIsn’t that how they did on Beale Street, baby? Yeah, that’s how it feels
\nWe ain’t ever lookin’ back, we only look ahead
\nTo the sweet, sweet moment, the words that aren’t quite said<\/p>\n
\nUnderneath the neon glow reflected in your eyes
\nWe’re movin’ to the heartbeat, the bass drum hits so deep
\nPromises we make tonight are promises we’ll keep
\nOh, center of, let’s lose control, let the speakers blast and scream
\nLivin’ out the only perfect, unbelievable dream<\/p>\n
\nIn The Dance House, forever starts right now…
\nCenter of, feel the heat, feel the sound…
\nNever gonna stop, never gonna fade out.<\/p>\n
