Machine Mania

Everything wound so tight But the clicks drive me to the brink Flashing lights are blinding Half of the programs crashed Tokens spew across the floor The memory was stretched too far I don't know what that sound was A buzz from the lunatic fuzz Filtered over the cries of dying ants In their dying moments Keeping the wheels turning A chapter granted and a chapter denied Souls traded for souls There's no value in the individual Intelligence is futile When truth is sold to the highest bidder Deception is the heart of honesty Honestly did you think anything else Their ammunition is in your heart Their disease is in your tears And all so the wheel continues to turn Ignoring the buildup of rust It's quite a bold strategy Rip the petals off of flowers Cover your face with them It's so very cute is it not When you feel so very wholesome Pillaging the earth To scrounge self-worth But you're no unique rose We failed to maintain ma'at Everything turned upside down Hell is where Heaven used to be And Heaven is where Hell used to be I don't know up from down Nor do I know left from right And I forgot right from wrong Just to sing a pretty song Just to sing a song To sing a song Sing a song A song Song
