lyrics
Bar codes / Lock down the machine
Finger prints stripped / And left at the door
Devour the fruit / And discard the core
Begging for scraps / And learn how to sit
Who demands for it anyway?
Programmed / Return to the hive
The only exit’s when you’re eaten alive
Don't forget at the end of the day
You're not cared for anyway
Broken hopes / A sign of success
Metal walls designed to suppress
Graft the soul to the hand that feeds
Calloused skin / A sign of production
Collective purpose / Expanding the cell
Metal walls / Encasing this hell
The scent / Of fumes / Sickens me
Shackled ankles never to be free
White lights / Replace / The sky
Uniformed and waiting to die
Oppressed / Breathing despair
Suffocate / Deficient of truth
Pressure / Those who keep busy
Emaciate / Positions down low
Tendered / Just enough to survive
Taxing / On body and mind
Failure / To keep up the pace
Promises to repair the failing body
Expendable / Discard and replace
Abandoned / In a useless state
Decimation / In its wake
Gears turn / Lumbering forward
Alive / While in a grave
Salt / The earth / Oil the machine
Castrate / For display / Save the best cuts for last
Conserve / The breath / Stay alive
Morals / Tarnished / The ladder points up
The weights / Too strong / Gravity pulls down
Wings clipped / Eyes shut / Purgatory
Awake / In regret / Beg for release
A noose / Is the gate / Leading out
