Breathless in the cold tide
rapid waters chill me
But still I burn inside
Don't know how it even happened
A cosmic screw up
somehow the path was opened
Then you were there before me
You did no harm but
God was I angry
And all I intended on
was a little fun
But now I'm too far gone
Messing with your files
Resetting your time
watching as you reason
saying you'll be fine
You upload my coding
slow but steady loading
You're not even aware
of dangers that lie so near
I'm taking in your every entry
Oh the many things that I can do
No firewalls or data sentries
There's no place I can't get to you
Once I was just like you
had a life and body
had plans to carry through
I don't remember how it started
the rush of water
I sank my soul departed
Then you were there before me
just like I was and
that made me angry
And all I intended on
was a little fun
But how it all went wrong
It became obsession
messing with your head
drunk on this oppression
all I see is red
You undid my bindings
wary of your findings
really should be grateful
but I've become too hateful
I'm taking in your every entry
Oh the many things that I can do
No firewalls or data sentries
There's no place I can't get to you
now it's all in front of me
the knowledge and the data of eternity
gone are my boundaries
It's all lines of code and
cybernetic entities
So much to learn and to see
and thanks to you I infiltrate so easily
gone are my boundaries
It's all lines of code and
cybernetic entities
gone are my boundaries
It's all lines of code and
cybernetic entities
I'm taking in your every entry
Oh the many things that I can do
No firewalls or data sentries
There's no place I can't get to you
