lyrics

We’ve built a structure out of our aspirations
Herded like sheep to be the only one of its kind
Take off the blindfold but cover my ears
This isn’t us this isn’t us. We’ve just become a piece of

Art by machines
A living breathing
Art by machines
Just another engine
Art by machines
A living breathing
Art by machines
Just another

I tell myself to keep my feet on the ground, feet on the ground but
We’re running in circles this will never end
Ideas held below the surface. Our eyes
Will have to shut them out

Lifeless repeats of the hollow, drowned in smoke
We won’t be buried by an imitation
Breeding, reshaping, to find what we’re really made for
This is all we have to give

Come from the heart
Leave from the lungs

These gears won’t turn anymore
Living inside myself to hide from my head
These gears won’t turn anymore
Rebuild me, Restore me

And I open my eyes and see nothing but fakes

Giving birth to cures that will end this plague
To breathe life back into our faded world
Breaking, cleansing, to finally create
This is our world now

Come from the heart
Leave from the lungs

These gears won’t turn anymore
Living inside myself to hide from my head
These gears won’t turn anymore
Rebuild me, Restore me
