Human Machines
Working and working my life away
With nothing to show but my bills are paid
But inside you know
That you’re all alone
What can you do
When the world moves on without you?
I chose a path
That wasn’t there before
I’m not limiting myself
To just one single door
But you’ll always be tied down
Restricted by the pain that grips your life
I felt it
So focused
Just barely scraping by
Working and working my life away
With nothing to show but my bills are paid
Consume, repeat
And force yourself to sleep
Weak hands, sore feet
But it makes you feel complete
The weight of the world’s got you
Fallen to your knees
So learn how to crawl before
You stand on your feet
You can’t believe
That you can feel complete
While questioning to fill your tank
Or maybe you should eat
If somehow you can make it through
Working knuckles black and blue
Somehow finding time for you
Some will win
Some may lose
We are all drowning in an ocean of greed
The rich will climb your shoulders
Just to breathe
Consume, repeat
And force yourself to sleep
Weak hands, sore feet
But it makes you feel complete
The weight of the world’s got you
Fallen to your knees
So learn how to crawl before
You stand on your feet
I know you’re weak and tired
You feel like givin in
You question if it’s really worth it
You’ve got to look inside
You’ve got to realize
Remember that the struggle’s worth it
Inside you know that you’re all alone
But still you try
And so you
Consume, repeat
And force yourself to sleep
Weak hands, sore feet
But it makes you feel complete
The weight of the world’s got you
Fallen to your knees
So learn how to crawl before
You stand on your feet
