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
