Robot Soft Exorcism

(album: Horizons / East - 2021)

Looking down through armored glass
Above a field of fire and ash
And from this height it's hard to even tell
Just what it's like outside the suit
The terror and the torn up roots
The lives you've helped to make a living hell

But there's another way
To face the unforeseen
You don't have to stay
Inside of that machine

Staring up across the wreck
A single figure stands erect
They shout and wave, so tiny and absurd
And moved by curiosity
You crack and lift the canopy
And straining, you can just make out their words

There's another way
To face the unforeseen
You don't have to stay
Inside of that machine
There's a bigger game
And there's a deeper dream
You don't have to stay
Inside of that machine

So please come down now
Come out from where you've been
Please come down now
Come out and start again

I know you're scared
But so are we
And if you dare
You'll start to see

There's another way
To face the unforeseen
You don't have to stay
Inside of that machine
There's a bigger game
There's a deeper dream
You don't have to stay
Inside of that machine

Oh

Please come down now
Come out from where you've been
Please come down now
Come out and start again
