bright eyed & weak kneed
converging on the sin
she rips apart the circuitry
& puts the wires in
reflecting on the shame
of a life gone astray
kill the body, tune the mind
& watch the worthless flesh waste away
wasting away
rusting on the vine
this mechanical halo
steps out of time
you call for the angels
but they've all gone away
the future's not here to stay
let the past sing
[breaks god]
flays away the skin
[breaks god]
the experiment begins
[breaks god]
make it clean, make it new
metal on metal screaming
"I renounce you"
wasting
i refuse to understand
wasting
take the body, make it whole
put out my hands
wasting
i refuse to understand
wasting...
dilate the mind
as the body lies
church comes home
distils the code
lost in the dream
feeding it back into the soul of a new machine
bulb flickers on the scene of the crime
a step too far this time
make the past scream:
[breaks god]
flays away the skin
[breaks god]
the experiment begins
[breaks god]
make it clean, make it new
metal on metal screaming
"I renounce you"
wasting
i refuse to understand
wasting
take the body, make it whole
put out my hands
wasting
i refuse to understand
wasting....
violate the mind
let the body die
take me home.
