I am the opiate Oft dismissed illusionary chain Cold confidence injected Seeping through a bloodless vein Twisted infection whispering lies Faceless connection walk through walls Force-feeding apathy quietly cuts the string I am the antidote Conformed cure encapsulated Unseen truth forbidden A point of light in d**h's cloak Flickering synapse memory Singular healing's born in the will Seeking life within life, without I am the new machine Within swirling black A drifting beggars dream Reclaim a stream of caustic thought Bound in flesh and sinew Mortal pull against the soul Here is the consequence Peeling blackened skin Capillaries torn asunder Convoluted theories awash in agony Voluminous skies house retribution Ashes await you flesh machine Ashes await you frail flesh machine
