Need - The Wisdom Machine lyrics

rate me

Now I see<br />

With my soul bruised I walk<br />

Crippling on and on<br />

How betrayed we are from our own device<br />

<br />

Hope dies last in a perfect world<br />

And I keep on dreaming of her eyes<br />

And all that is making me linger on<br />

Is someday breathing her hair again<br />

<br />

What's this? I can't see<br />

Is it a god or a demon?<br />

Now it's got hold of me<br />

Showing me things that I dare not see<br />

<br />

The waking of my life was bathed in pain<br />

Dawn was so alone<br />

The coming of my youth was cloaked in fear<br />

As they pierced my will<br />

<br />

The entering of pleasures was so blunt<br />

My end of innocence<br />

I looked for the all answers in a glass<br />

Better there then in my sober cage<br />

<br />

Spare me<br />

Don't you dare tell me<br />

To whom I should pray<br />

For I am the master of my loss<br />

<br />

A river of truth drinks my pain<br />

Proving me my dreams were all in vain<br />

And I'm about to pay for deeds foreseen<br />

Surrendering my dreams to the machine<br />

<br />

Still stitching together the pieces of my mind<br />

Still stitching together the pieces of my kind<br />

Still stitching together the pieces of my life<br />

Still stitching together the pieces of my strife<br />

<br />

My dreams were sacrificed for all your needs<br />

I craved for space to breathe<br />

The strength to differentiate wore thin<br />

A fight I could not win<br />

<br />

The answers to all this became so vague<br />

Imploded on myself lost in a haze<br />

It pretty much appeared I chose my path<br />

Left hand madness till my last<br />

<br />

Half of my life was wasted<br />

Upon this stupid farce<br />

My tree of life was rotten<br />

Had to leave at last<br />

<br />

It's clear to me now that I am the exile of dreams<br />

I'm dying alive, a demon with wings<br />

I crave for a conscience that's mute, the judgment within<br />

Forever I'm baptized in the sin of machine<br />

I'm blind, I'm blind I seek for the light<br />

I crave, I crave for redemption and sight<br />

<br />

My soul had become veiled<br />

When my mind had prevailed<br />

My image was fading<br />

Denying, avenging<br />

<br />

We sentient dolls must pay the toll<br />

The age is growing thin on our plastic skin<br />

We'll burn for our desire in acid fire<br />

Come on let's choke our dreams<br />

<br />

I sought for an ending<br />

To stop all this turning<br />

This circle of bleeding<br />

It rapes all my being<br />

<br />

So sick and tired of all the silence<br />

I want to feel free I seek to be free<br />

My eyes have been opened<br />

I just long for a chance to see<br />

<br />

Devoured and wasted from all this hatred<br />

I've played with reason to suffer wisdom<br />

I hear the voice inside<br />

I have to make my choice<br />

<br />

Wondrous it seems how our life walks before us<br />

In circles we bleed when mistakes walk among us
