Lyrics
Here inside the final diorama
Charting weather patterns for kicks
There are several fairly weighty problems
I'm pretty sure the simulation won't fix
Never any better at bottom
And the signals I'm set up to receive
Choking on the blood of the androids
Wiping off my mouth on my sleeve
Shining on the inside
Maybe
Shining on the inside
Maybe
Somewhere in the monument garden
Suggestions of a tunnel to freedom
Every hour, the crack of the rifle
Never any guns when you need 'em
I gotta test my chin on the concrete
It's the only way to be sure
Only the desperate ever make it to the exit
Only the brave and the pure
Shining on the inside
Maybe
Shining on the inside
Maybe
Shining like a deep sea creature
Only temporarily bearing the pressure
Sniffing at the walls of the maze
All the ancient rumors were true
You only see the jump cuts and the close-ups
You never get the aerial view
Content to make me serve as an example
Set up a sign or two on the trail
There's a lot of things that can happen
All for the want of the nail
Shining on the inside
Maybe
Shining on the inside
Maybe
