Mechanism Lyrics - Singles - Tallman

drifting away, feeling the puddles of consciousness drain 

knowing the way, transient shadows of being remain 

feeling betrayed, fearing the whole will be swallowed again 

lost and awake, sift through the pieces to find the remains 

conscience is rejected by the weak 

a subscription to a plan that dictates what to seek 

free will will be provided by collusion 

as to not shatter the illusion 

ignorance through bliss 

choice is just a myth 

and we fall victim through belief 

stain the gray 

to kill the clown 

that drags you down 

face the pain 

that paints the frown 

you're wearing down 

and we're filtered through the sieve 

of this machine that lets us live 

so afraid 

so unknown 

so frail 

so alone
