Lyrics:

Crave the machine

Revere the screen
Zoom in for flak and misery
Bleed some pixels

Shoot yourself
Pose for the dead
Have a near-life experience
In a hot air matrix

Now you're a star
Vain avatar
Feeding the beast
In your loud Egoland

You have become
Tool of a tool
Digital ghouls
Telling you to
Shut up and dance!

Color a yarn and the crowds will gather

Noise
From a sunless world
Your mirror is black, only a copy stares back
At a slave of brave new world

Noise
To decoy the human voice
Brain insomniac, paranoiac
Endless noise

 

Please love me

See how I bleed

Please endure

I have such empathy in me

Hum, noise, hum
Beautifully numb
Tapping the quiet air
To have a meaning

By a carrion
Sad hologram
Lost in the maze
The real and human feel

Sunset is free
From this deity
The Earth has a real voice
Go out and get in

I will follow

Color a yarn and the crowds will gather

Feast your eyes on the black mirror
Feed the beast, join the gathering
Tell a tale
Feast of fears is drawing nearer

 

Beyond the human horizon
Something terrifying sleeps

I'm not going to take credit for this, it's something I recently discovered on Discord... There's an easter egg in the intro of Noise, or actually two!

The first is a snippet from the first ever YouTube video, 'Me At The Zoo' (link). We can hear 'Here we are in front of the elephants' at about 12 seconds into the song.

Right after, and just before the band kicks in, Floor shouts 'Shut up!'.

The first snippet is easier to hear, but Floor can only be heard when listening to the song in mono audio.

Here it is in stereo:
