Residing within a system that feels empty

A cog in the great machine, turning endlessly

Unable to recognize yourself, slowly fading to a dormant state

The thoughts and feelings in your brain no longer hold permanence or a proper name

Devoid of direction, in need of a chance to escape

So you dive into an endless timeframe where what's left no longer decays

Convinced you're living in a world where "humanity" is the dominant race

A cog in the great machine, turning endlessly

Programmed every form to be blind; desensitised all your minds

And blurred the separative lines

Outside; your identity is emaciated

Inside; you will finally be emancipated

From living as a shadow restricted by shame

Yearning to be one with the fake divine

A corrupted mind with no line to guide

Dead inside; stealing a heart to hide behind

Finding no solace from the chaos of humankind

Lingering within the gripping darkness that forever stays inside the mind

Now become desolation

One with the emptiness and lack of purpose

Become what you want

For you are not who you are

What's left of your humanity; now more like insanity

Is due to disappear as you are willingly scarred

A means for life immortal

New connections made within

Feeling the fibres pulse within your skin

Draining the very essence of your soul into the machine
