Fates Warning - Part Of The Machine lyrics

Just another face in the crowd Wandering towards obscurity Driven by the dull desires Of a worn out routine Stagnant in the suffocating silence Of emotional exile, A fugitive from freedom Surrenders to mediocrity. A helpless voice Starting to sink. You could make a choice But you never learned to think. Weary and weakened Victims fall prey To vague ideals And pa**ionless play. Systematic spontaneity In synchronized society. Immersed in the cause And the call of the day, Sacrificed inner needs Give way. To shared individuality In collective reality. A spirit of belonging Satisfies your longing But the truth is never seen. False sense of freedom grows But dependency shows Your part of the machine. A hopeless choice, Searching for someone real. You could find that voice But you never learned to feel.
