World moving fast, I'm moving slow Watching the ceiling, watching it glow Morpheus standing right in front of me Offering choices that I don't need to see Red pill for the truth, blue for the lies But I got the purple right here in my eyes Mixed it with soda, mixed it with ice Paid for the numbness, yeah, I paid the price Now everything tastes like sugar and chemical My point of view is purely cynical I chose the third option, I chose the haze Navigating through the violet maze Pure codeine, gravity is heavy Hold the wheel steady in the Chevy I saw the matrix, then I looked away Doesn't matter if it's night or day When you numb the pain, you numb the joy Broken emotions like a plastic toy It's all monotonous, it's all the same Floating offline in a single-player game Too much access, too much excess Turning a blessing into a mess Rich man problems, bored out of my mind Leave the reality way far behind People talking but the sound is dragged My spirit is heavy, my body is lagged Is it freedom or is it a cage? Stuck on the sentence of the very same page Pure codeine, gravity is heavy Hold the wheel steady in the Chevy I saw the matrix, then I looked away Doesn't matter if it's night or day When you numb the pain, you numb the joy Broken emotions like a plastic toy It's all monotonous, it's all the same Floating offline in a single-player game Red pill Blue pill Purple rain Numb
