I---So---Type
I---So---Type

[Verse 1]
Everything you've ever seen
Photographs and magazines
Vivid colour black and white
All reduced to isotype

[Verse 2]
Everything you've ever said
All the thoughts inside your head
Travel at the speed of light
Now compressed in isotype

I---So---Type
[Chorus]
I---So---Type
I---So---Type
I---So---Type
I---So---Type

[Verse 3]
All the words you used to write
Treasured spirits taken flight
Sovereign and now shining bright
All replaced by isotype

[Verse 4]
Every thought and hope and dream
Each precious word, perfect theme
Solemn shades of endless night
All reduced to isotype

I---So---Type
I---So---Type
