Machine

--- [verse 1] the clock eats light from my window pane coffee’s cold, but it talks to my brain the mirror hums a lifeless tune wearing a face I never knew [pre chorus] the clouds don't care to ask me if I'm breaking beautifully [chorus] I’m the machine they forgot to shut down laughing in silence, wired to drown in cities built of blinking lies where ghosts wear suits and sterilized smiles [verse 2] I rent a life with plastic skin sell hours cheap, just to breathe in sin she lives inside my glowing screen she fades to black when I begin [Pre-Chorus 2] The sidewalks whisper strangers’ names But mine dissolves in static rain [Chorus 2] I’m the machine they feed with sleep A digital soul I’m scared to keep My voice loops back, unheard, unseen Buried beneath the algorithm’s dream [Bridge] They promised heaven if I filed my taxes and smiled on cue But at midnight, I scream into a socket and it just blinks... and blinks... and blinks. [Final Chorus] I’m the machine with missing parts Craving failure just to feel a heart Maybe it’s time to short the wire And set this cold shell on fire Lyrical Creation: © 2025 robmorezze All Rights Reserved | Copyright © 2025 robmorezze
