lyrics

blackened, our lungs as we breathe
life into the machine
steel be our hearts
in syncopated unions apart
capitulating freedom consigned in resignation
slave to the swine
combustible disease

to see a world beyond our time
a force of involution

twisting and grinding our teeth
choke on the hand that feeds
burn and refine
a visionary profit inclined
to keep the masses assembling lines
a cartographic prison defined
a shelter from the culled

to fill a void to kill the time
a horrid evolution
mastered minds are drawing blueprints in the wolf pen
broken vessels bleed forever just to find a way out

but i try to survive an existent demise
executing my life line after line

and who gets to decide between service and strife?
by the will of the hive, i open my eyes

as the poison enters my veins
i can't breathe, i can't feel another way

as the worms feed into my brain
i can't see, i can never look away

as numbers divide, i try to survive
in the blink of an eye, resolve to nothing

as zeroes collide, only one will survive
through perpetual motion sickness, i fight

device or divine?
the sentient lie
industrial wombs yielding cognitive tombs
where we lay our minds to rest

i am alive
through serial eyes, every bit of you looks the same

device or divine?
the sentient lie
our heroes decide
the value inside
are we living or just alive when we are serialized?
