Cog In The Machine

You are just a cog in the machine, not a human being!

strip you down to the parts they need…

Wires bleed… you disappear…

Another faceless number engineered by fear.

Made to break your back just to keep their system clean,

They drain the life outta you like gasoline.

Don't think they won't replace you quick when you slow down;

You break, they swap the part.

Don’t let them tell you to calm down

When you're burning from within.

Don’t let them tell you to be grateful

For a life you never get to live.

Look around; the bodies come and go,

Names erased like they’ve never been here at all.

Promised purpose, sold you lies;

Demon prophets preaching lullabies.

You grind, they shine, you stay in line,

They tell you to be grateful while they steal your time.

And when you crack from the pressure they create,

They toss you aside like a tool that’s decayed.

You are just a cog in the machine, not a human being!

strip you down to the parts they need…

Wires bleed… you disappear…

You are just a cog in the machine, not a human being!

strip you down to the parts they need…

Wires bleed… you disappear…

You are just a cog in the machine, not a human being!

strip you down to the parts they need…

Wires bleed… you disappear…
