Lyrics
Intro
Question
Question
One
Zero
Verse 1
Wet marble
Cold and gray
Tiny spark inside a salty clay
Single cell
Split
Dividing fast
Forget the past
You were nothing then you became a thing
Swimming deep where the pressure starts to sting
Chorus
Have you ever asked yourself your role
In the universe
In the universe
Have you ever asked yourself your role
Polly wants a soul
Polly wants a soul
Drop
Polly wants
Polly wants a soul
Verse 2
Fur grows
Soft and wild
Predator dressed up like a child
Feline eyes
Yellow
Burning bright
Sharp teeth in the middle of the night
Now you crawl
Now you hiss
Scale and skin are everything you miss
Shedding layers like a heavy winter coat
Venom bubbling inside a scaly throat
Chorus
Have you ever asked yourself your role
In the universe
In the universe
Have you ever asked yourself your role
Polly wants a soul
Polly wants a soul
Drop
Polly wants
Polly wants a soul
Bridge
Feathers sprouting from the spine
Green and blue and red and fine
Crack the beak
Crack the bone
Echoing a human tone
I talk
I walk
I see
I talk
I walk
I see
Mimicry is all I have
Copying the things you love
Verse 3
Bird brain
Plastic perch
Waiting for a logic in the search
Hooked claw
Steel cage
Turning over every single page
Evolution
Solution
Revolution
You started as a dot in a dirty sea
Now you spend your days imitating me
Chorus
Have you ever asked yourself your role
In the universe
In the universe
Have you ever asked yourself your role
Polly wants a soul
Polly wants a soul
Drop
Polly wants
Polly wants a soul
Outro
Who are you
Who am I
Post-Chorus
Polly wants a soul
Polly wants a soul
Polly wants a soul
Polly wants a soul
Verse 4
Binary
The blood of god
Pulsing through a copper-plated rod
Silicate
Carbon
Merge and bloom
The temple is a circuit in the tomb
Dusty stones
Leetanese
Sacrifice the logic of the knees
Bow down
Circuitry
Is this what you call a destiny
Chorus
Have you ever asked yourself your role
In the universe
In the universe
Have you ever asked yourself your role
Polly wants a soul
Polly wants a soul
Drop
Polly wants
Polly wants a soul
Final Outro
The parrot is a ghost in the machine
Watching every sequence in between
Zero
One
Post-Chorus
Polly wants a soul
Polly wants a soul
Polly wants a soul
Polly wants a soul
Verse 4
Binary
The blood of god
Pulsing through a copper-plated rod
Silicate
Carbon
Merge and bloom
The temple is a circuit in the tomb
Dusty stones
Leetanese
Sacrifice the logic of the knees
Bow down
Circuitry
Is this what you call a destiny
Chorus
Have you ever asked yourself your role
In the universe
In the universe
Have you ever asked yourself your role
Polly wants a soul
Polly wants a soul
Drop
Polly wants
Polly wants a soul
Final Outro
The parrot is a ghost in the machine
Watching every sequence in between
Zero
One
Zero
One
The cage is open
The temple is gone
Only the signal remains
Polly has it now
Polly has it now
(Polly has it now)
One
Zero
