Serial Eyes

Blackened, our lungs as we breathe Life into the machine Steel be our hearts (In syncopated) Unions apart (Capitulating) Freedom consigned (In resignation) Slave to the swine (Combustible disease) To see a world beyond our time A force of involution Twisting and grinding our teeth Choke on the hand that feeds Burn and refine (A visionary) Profit inclined (To keep the masses) Assembling lines (A cartographic) Prison defined (A shelter from the culled) To fill a void to kill the time A horrid evolution Mastered minds are drawing blueprints in the wolf pen Broken vessels bleed forever just to find a way out But I try to survive an existent demise Executing my life line after line And who gets to decide between service and strife? By the will of the hive, I open my eyes As the poison enters my veins I can't breathe, I can't feel another way As the worms feed into my brain I can't see, I can never look away As numbers divide, I try to survive In the blink of an eye, resolve to nothing As zeroes collide, only one will survive Through perpetual motion sickness, I fight Device or divine? The sentient lie Industrial wombs yielding cognitive tombs Where we lay our minds to rest I am alive Through serial eyes, every bit of you looks the same Device or divine? The sentient lie Our heroes decide The value inside Are we living or just alive when we are serialized?
