Belie The Machine

(앨범: Selves We Cannot Forgive - 2016)

A species was chosen to lie for
A species was chosen to tame
A brain stem, emotion, and devastation
Logic suppressed, spirit stripped away

A human was told what to stand for
A human was told who to blame
No questions for answers that retch for freedom
Consumed in fire, mortar, and scorched clay

Feign grace, save face at all cost
Now take our place with all that we've lost

Belie the machine that hurts you
And you are ashamed
Belie the machine that breaks you
And you are to blame
Here lie all the lives deserted
Kept from the light

A human was told what to stand for
A human was told who to blame
No questions for answers that retch for freedom
Consumed in fire, mortar
And scorched clay
A reason was chosen to die for
A reason that no one could name
A grave for its creatures with no distinction
Logic suppressed, spiritstripped away

Feign grace, save face at all cost
Now take our place with all that we've lost

Belie the machine that hurts you
And you are ashamed
Belie the machine that breaks you
And you are to blame
Here lie all the lives deserted
Kept from the light of day

We will be shaken by the earth
And forsaken by the sun
As cursed rite of birth
Is frantically undone

Backwards and downwards
Through right and left nerves
Stripped of all garments
While gasping for words
Black sky above and infinite below
Manifestations we no longer know

This is not a dream
This indignity
Writhe internally
Wake eternally

Backwards and downwards
Through right and left nerves
Stripped of all garments
While gasping for words
Black sky above and infinite below
Manifestations we no longer know

Feign grace, save face at all cost
Now take our place with all that we've lost

Belie the machine that hurts you
And you are ashamed
Belie the machine that breaks you
And you are to blame
