The Machinist

We’re made up with a balance so delicate

Rarely ever calm and serene

When everything of use is irrelevant

We’re all just self-destructing machines

And when it seems to be letting up

It's time to begin

Don't be afraid you were born to fit this mold

This wheel is generations old

It’ll be better when you see

This is the way it has to be

It's all you have...

With the frantic pace the clocks all throw us in

We’ve fought and made a villain of time

The presence of a few model citizens

Comply or be left behind

Instead of taking action, why don't you begin routine?

And instead of being tired, why don't you become machine?

There's no breaking formation

It's permanent, don't even try

History’s bound to repeat itself

You sold your soul, and so did I
