Automaton
Inside the beige expanse
Between the two extremes
Reality begins to flicker
A wall with no detail
A face with no expression
A gun with a missing trigger
No anger or despair
No ecstasy or bliss
Just a husk, left with no feeling
Shambling through life
In non-descript surroundings
Is a soul, that's worth concealing
No ups
No downs
Emotion gone
No blood
No soul
Automaton
Emotionally inert
Sporadically alert
The drone of the world is numbing
The traffic howls outside
The rumble of machines
Seem to warn, of what is coming
The pressure starts to build
While the surface is pristine
There's no sign, of doom impending
But cracks begin to form
An aperture in bloom
A threshold, to somber endings
No ups
No downs
Emotion gone
No blood
No soul
Automaton
Distant and detached
Impassive and aloof
The bullets start to rip through the building
Splinters taking flight
Through nebulas of smoke
And the cries, of the unwilling
Emotion overwhelms
A hurricane of fear
A moment, of realization
The monster hid inside
Until it couldn't sleep
A disastrous, abomination
No ups
No downs
Emotion gone
No blood
No soul
Automaton
No ups
No downs
Emotion gone
No blood
No soul
Automaton
Between the two extremes
Reality begins to flicker
A wall with no detail
A face with no expression
A gun with a missing trigger
No anger or despair
No ecstasy or bliss
Just a husk, left with no feeling
Shambling through life
In non-descript surroundings
Is a soul, that's worth concealing
No ups
No downs
Emotion gone
No blood
No soul
Automaton
Emotionally inert
Sporadically alert
The drone of the world is numbing
The traffic howls outside
The rumble of machines
Seem to warn, of what is coming
The pressure starts to build
While the surface is pristine
There's no sign, of doom impending
But cracks begin to form
An aperture in bloom
A threshold, to somber endings
No ups
No downs
Emotion gone
No blood
No soul
Automaton
Distant and detached
Impassive and aloof
The bullets start to rip through the building
Splinters taking flight
Through nebulas of smoke
And the cries, of the unwilling
Emotion overwhelms
A hurricane of fear
A moment, of realization
The monster hid inside
Until it couldn't sleep
A disastrous, abomination
No ups
No downs
Emotion gone
No blood
No soul
Automaton
No ups
No downs
Emotion gone
No blood
No soul
Automaton
