Machinery

Jaws hold tight Crushing theeth Heavy bite Hurts the sleeve Piston mouth Push an heave Up and down Try to breathe Long assembly lines Lay your dreams on ice Wires lead the way Mine is not the same It could all be great Just get on that line Turn the knob and wait All will be just fine Lead and wooden gears Oiled with blood and tears Corpses left and right There's no end in sight I want to change it all But it holds me to the ground Trying to stab me with its claws Kicking me, throwing me down! The machine goes on Nothing I can do about it I'm holding on Nothing it can do about it I'll carry on Escape the web Reach for land Step by step Until the end Drowned in sweat I will stand See me rev I'm not jammed Run with self-made gears Oiled with sweat and tears I'm in my own hand This won't need an end I can't alter the past And I can't change the now All the shadows it casts None of this will cut me out The machine goes on Nothing I can do about it I'm holding on Nothing it can do about it The machine goes on Nothing I can do about it I'll carry on I will find a way around it Step by step The machine goes on Nothing I can do about it I'm holding on I will find a way around it
