shadow_life
I can't sit back and watch
As the world goes mad
Infatuated with their virtual pleasures
Plagued by lethargy and self-obsession
I need to take action
I will bring down the meat machine
Soon, everything you know
Will become one with the system
From flesh to numbers
From speech to computation
Alkaline butterfly
I've forgotten your name
The hourglass is so despised
I wanna be machine made
Digital eyes tell no lies
But they care not for your tears now
Our time is soon to be replaced
Don't you want to be machine made?
It seems to shatter their worlds
When they've been separated
Like chickens with no heads
The light before your eyes
Will drag you into the dark
I'm gonna tear it to shreds
Am I the only one left?
I'm troubled by a couple of things
One, that we're supplementing
Time with our friends and family
With realities so illogical
I'll stop them all
Before I learn to recognise my
Alkaline butterfly
I've forgotten your name
The hourglass is so despised
I want to be machine made
Digital eyes tell no lies
But they care not for your soul now
It's our time to be replaced, be replaced
Don't you, don't you want to be machine made?
Always numbing the pain, digital vice
Welcome to shadow life
As the world goes mad
Infatuated with their virtual pleasures
Plagued by lethargy and self-obsession
I need to take action
I will bring down the meat machine
Soon, everything you know
Will become one with the system
From flesh to numbers
From speech to computation
Alkaline butterfly
I've forgotten your name
The hourglass is so despised
I wanna be machine made
Digital eyes tell no lies
But they care not for your tears now
Our time is soon to be replaced
Don't you want to be machine made?
It seems to shatter their worlds
When they've been separated
Like chickens with no heads
The light before your eyes
Will drag you into the dark
I'm gonna tear it to shreds
Am I the only one left?
I'm troubled by a couple of things
One, that we're supplementing
Time with our friends and family
With realities so illogical
I'll stop them all
Before I learn to recognise my
Alkaline butterfly
I've forgotten your name
The hourglass is so despised
I want to be machine made
Digital eyes tell no lies
But they care not for your soul now
It's our time to be replaced, be replaced
Don't you, don't you want to be machine made?
Always numbing the pain, digital vice
Welcome to shadow life
