The Animal And The Machine

(album: Transmission.Alpha.Delta - 2015)

For every bullet in your gun we've got plan
To change the world and make it better
This song's for everyone screaming from the pit
We are the soundtrack
We bleed together strong
Nobody here's pretending that we got this figured out
Some things are better unknown
We all got something that we feel better let it out
Before the whole thing blows

We've all
Been down this road before
Our history
It shows exactly what we're headed for

Can't save the world but you can always tend the neighborhood
I wanna live and die for something good
Emancipate the soul
Tell your brother he's not alone
Cuz life's too fucking short to become victims of each other

We are the story of the animal and the machine
We are more than just life
We are serrated by the things we always hated
So what's the point of all

The dogs
Laying at our feet
These battle songs
Playing on repeat
Ocean tides
Crashing at our knees
As the stranger in us all finds comfort
Somewhere in the heart of the machine

Gutter angels played guitar when you couldn't sleep
You're the reason you're the consequence
You howl cuz you're going mad
In the chaos of this consecration a room without a view
Time will only take from us
What we knew we'd always lose

We are the story of the animal and the machine
We are more than just life
We are serrated by the things we always hated
So what's the point of all

The dogs
Laying at our feet
These battle songs
Playing on repeat
Ocean tides
Crashing at our knees
As the stranger in us all finds comfort
Somewhere in the heart of the machine
