Part Of The Machine - Lyrics by Fates Warning


Lyrics
Just another face in the crowdwandering towards obscurity.
Driven by the dull desiresof a worn out routine.
Stagnant in the suffocating silenceof emotional exile,a fugitive from freedomsurrenders to mediocrity.A helpless voicestarting to sink.
You could make a choicebut you never learned to think
Weary and weakenedvictims fall preyto vague idealsand passionless play.
Systematic spontaneityin synchronized society.
Immersed in the causeand the call of the day,sacrificed inner needsgive way.
To shared individualityin collective reality.A spirit of belongingsatisfies your longingbut the truth is never seen.
False sense of freedom growsbut dependency showsyour part of the machine.A hopeless choice,searching for someone real.
You could find that voicebut you never learned to feel.
