[Chorus] There is a war going on in our hearts
can't ever tell which side you or I am on
the edge cuts sharp like a knife good or bad
our feed is flood with updates on the battleline
when very often the enemy is working on the same side
In the beginning, I tried to be open
and ever since then a shade has enveloped me
fought in the trenches of waking and in our dreams
so, long ago, I knew I had to go underground
but I know you've felt my presence
[Protagonist] ..And there was this woman who brought us all down into this bunker in a museum, and she hadn't said anything but i could
tell she was recruiting us all as, like, psychic warriors in
this war that was going on, and i wanted to tell her about all
the dreams i had been having over the summer but she
hushed me and gave me a look like it wasn't the right place to say..
I dont know how, but i knew that i had this special
information that i could tell these people didnt want me
to have, or they didnt know if i had it, but they were trying to
find out if i did, and i just remember thinking,
if i keep on singing they cant get to me, just keep on singing,
and they cant get to me-
[Chorus] There is a war going on in our heart
Until then I'll fight for it all in the Deep State
I know someday we'll be together on the other side
You know, I need you to love me
[Protagonist] ..And, i cant even remember what i was singing,
but once i did the whole room disappeared and i was
in this field with my dog, and my parents, and my sisters
and they were like, where did you go, and i told them what
happened and they didn't care but after a second i realized
we were all on the beach and i had already woken up
[British reporter] The plenipotentiary has commissioned a massive merger: Amazon, Alphabet, and--what's this?...Oh!..Ali Baba!!
[Chorus] I know someday we'll be together on the other side
Until then I'll fight for it all in the Deep State
Unlocking what's blocking a global, conscious evolution
[Picard] What a piece of work is man,
How noble in reason, how infinite in faculty,
In form and moving how express and admirable,
In action how like an angel,
In apprehension how like a god
I see us one day becoming that, Q..
[Chorus] There is a war going on in our hearts: Deep State
