lyrics

The self-flagellator will rise from the lashes
Carved out on his back to the grind
Somnambulist through corridors of transit
Bemoans a world unkind

This replicator is forced to replicate a
Strain of thoughts that don't supply the whole
With impetus to carry out its functions
But takes advantage of the role

he plays to twist and turn his form
With the painful shifting of its bones
And the gaping sore is an open door
To birth a structure still unknown
Behold the hybrid opposing with his being
All semblance of external design
And carves his name with cellular dictation
And letters divine

You tell a story we'll listen
We'll lay our ears down to the sand
In hopes that words free us, if for only a moment
From the body we command
It's been unfair to us and keeps our soul
From the boundless travel it deserves
And though it plays the slave nearly every day
There's little talk of who it serves

Are you still dreaming of electric sheep
Lined up on their master's right
So steel wool can be shorn off their back
to cleanse the weapons from the master's last fight

They make the rules and we follow
Until we're shaped into their mold
We only know freedom as another promise
Branded, marketed and sold
We need another name
that sends our soul
On a boundless trip through time and space
And though we've called several over many years
He never thinks to show his face

I wanna see God so my heart must be pure
And if my heart's not pure for a man
I'll change into something that matches my heart
as best as it can
