Modern Machines

Come up for air but I still can't breathe
Strike me again, watch me fall
Something breaks with every second of silence
As I dig at the earth to cover my feet

Breaking these modern machines
Relentlessly, exhausting
Breaking these modern machines
Frantic, with precision..

This is what I asked for
But is this what you wanted?

Breaking these modern machines
Fighting, relentlessly, exhausting
Breaking these modern machines
Frantic, with precision..

They smile as they stick out their tongues
At me they won't stop feeding

Regress into what seems to fit, I find these useless contradictions
These colours they all seem the same in this comic scene
Sickening silence, while nothing will see this done
I'll fall until I accept it..

This song is about trying to break free into something new. And failing. And trying again.
