Lyrics

Yeah.
Look at the gears.
Watch ‘em spin until they break.
Welcome to the factory.
They want me calibrated, calculated, neatly packaged, and dated
Reduced to a number on a spreadsheet, highly underrated
I’m a cog in a machine that’s missing oil and screaming
While the rest of the world is sleepwalking and dreaming
Of a white picket fence and a 9 to 5 sentence
I’m serving time in a cubicle, begging for repentance
But the walls are closing in, I can hear the plaster cracking
I’m a master of the craft but my sanity is lacking
Got a briefcase full of burdens and a head full of static
My behavior’s erratic, I’m a high-functioning fanatic
Trapped in a cycle of "yes sir" and "no sir"
While my inner demons are getting closer and closer!
The clock is ticking, the world is shifting
The ground is splitting, the smoke is lifting
I’m out of sync, I’m out of time
I’m out of breath, I’m out of my mind!
Tick-tock, goes the life I never wanted
Built a house of cards and now the hallways are haunted
They tell me "stay in line," they tell me "play the part"
But there’s a mechanical failure inside of my heart
Yeah, the rhythm is broken, the gears are stuck
Trying to find a purpose in a world of bad luck!
I see the mannequins walking, they’re talking in binary
Their lives are a script, a hollowed-out refinery
Polishing the exterior while the core is decaying
I’m the only one who hears the symphony that’s playing
It’s a dissonant mess, it’s a beautiful disaster
Moving ten times slower while the world moves faster
I’m a glitch in the matrix, a stain on the silk
They want the cream of the crop, I’m the souring milk
And it’s bitter, it’s cold, it’s a pill I can’t swallow
I’d rather be a ghost than a shell that is hollow!
The clock is ticking, the world is shifting
The ground is splitting, the smoke is lifting
I’m out of sync, I’m out of time
I’m out of breath, I’m out of my mind!
Tick-tock, goes the life I never wanted
Built a house of cards and now the hallways are haunted
They tell me "stay in line," they tell me "play the part"
But there’s a mechanical failure inside of my heart
Yeah, the rhythm is broken, the gears are stuck
Trying to find a purpose in a world of bad luck!
Break the glass! Stop the hands!
I won’t be a slave to your demands!
I’m not a product, I’m not a tool
I’m the exception to your fucking rule!
Pressure builds, the steam is rising
There’s no use in disguising
That I’m about to blow, I’m about to snap
Step out of the cage, step out of the trap!
Tick-tock, I burned the life I never wanted
Smashed the house of cards and now the ghosts are all confronted
I left the line, I shredded up the part
I fixed the mechanical failure in my heart
The rhythm isn't broken, the gears aren't stuck
I’m making my own way, I don't need your luck!
System failure.
Manual override.
I’m out.
