Glistening metals in the sky
Magnetic pulses flashing by
Cold calculations the balance of things
They sometimes hum but they never sing
Don't ask me to live, I can only survive
Cuz nothing left up here is alive
Souls squeezed out of everything
What were the builders thinking?
All I can do is wonder why
Did any of the plants survive?
All of life comes at a cost
Can we still find out what is lost?
Ooh ooh ooh oo oo ooh ooh
Nourishment seeps from channels above
No more anger hatred but no more love
There's only the machine and it's curious demands
Helping to absorb what once were distant lands
Toil and carry, heave and lift.
Small cracks, become a rift
Keep your head down and close your mind
You think your hands are clean
But I've got blood on mine
I really want to fly so I'll try again
I want to touch the sky so I'll try again
