Broken Machine

[Verse] City streets cold and empty souls rusting gears Metal hearts beat a synthetic drum Don't know where we're going no home no road Echoes of silence lost in the hum [Verse 2] Cables tangle round shattered dreams dreams unlived Polluted sky darkens concrete cages Wires spark a flash of what could be Muffled cries trapped on yellowed pages [Chorus] Machines are us broken pieces of despair Electric breaths we choke in the night Steel skeletons with no flesh no heartbeat Screaming silently in the dying light [Verse 3] Radio static drowns out our last thoughts Neon lights flicker fading hope lost Fragments of a life never put together Plastic minds bend but they never cross [Verse 4] Dreamless eyes stare into voids unseen Iron fists clutching at the phantom sky Endless corridors where whispers fade Silent whispers ask the reason why [Bridge] Ghost in shells they wander aimlessly Past and future meet in twisted lines Strings of violins wrap around our pain Ticking away in unmeasured time
