Runoff

Feeling the pull of the dread machines
From head, to toe, to tail
So much stronger than it's ever been
Poised in poison of the tainted trees
Couldn't escape, not in my old shape
Even out here, it seems, I'm not free

Deep in my dreams
Fighting the machine
Farther and farther into the unseen

The world is tainted, not as it should be
Only way forward, into the machine
I can't restore what this place has been
Only way forward is through the machine
Claw my way up girder, truss, and beam
Stinking of oil, slag, and broken dreams
Hunting naked, for a way down, a way around
Only way to fight, into the machine

Just a beast, fleeing the machine
As it haunts me, deep in my dreams
Just a beast, fighting the machine
Farther and farther into the unseen

Feel all the cogs turning under my feet
These impotent muscles cannot defeat
Hear the screech of metal inside the trees
The wild couldn't save me from the machine

Just a beast, fleeing the machine
As it haunts me, deep in my dreams
Just a beast, fighting the machine
Farther and farther into the unseen

This beast couldn't save my mind from the machine
Poised in poison of tainted fallen leaves
