What Have I Become

(album: Machines - 2017)

When I wake up the light slips through my fingers
When I get up the nightmares seek me out
Underneath the shadows of my bones
Rests a secret battle I can't show
It's a new day and the fires have dulled to ashes
It's a new day and the wars have all been won
Now the generals pin the medals, swear alone they fought the devil
Planning things to do tomorrow, I'm just still surviving

In a cage, trying to hide this rage
And I did it all for you
And I did it all

Now that I see the monster
That I can't kill or escape
I understand the fear you feel
When you look at my face
What have I become? (Whoa, whoa)

In a cage, trying to hide this rage
And I did it all for you
Yeah, and I did it all

Now that I see the monster
That I can't kill or escape
I understand the fear you feel
When you look at my face
I've made myself much colder
Just to make the world feel warm
I live in winter's fury
So the world can can see the sun
Hardest heart and soul of dark
To do the things I've done
And now the world is moving on
But what have I become?

What have I, what have I, what have I become?
What have I, what have I, what have I become? (Whoa)
What have I become?
