Metal Shaped

[Intro] [motorik drum beat, deep moog synth bass, no vocals, no melody,] [Verse 1: vocals] There is only one day Always starting over Given then taken away [Chorus] In a material world Be here Metal shaped and fleeting Be here Find feeling and meaning [vocal bridge] Every word has consequence Every silence too [Chorus] In a material world Be here Metal shaped and fleeting Be here Find feeling and meaning With me [drums drop out, no lead synth, noise effects deep in the mix] [Verse 2] Bound by the constant gaze Hell is other people Trapped by their empty praise [vocal build-up] Metal! [double-kick drums] Metal shaped! [Verse 3] Jealousy and vices Condemned to be free Metal shaped by choices [Chorus] In a material world Be here Metal shaped and fleeting Be here Find feeling and meaning [vocal bridge] They are living in bad faith. Duty restrains you! [Chorus] In a material world Be here Metal shaped and fleeting Be here Find feeling and meaning With me [Outro] Become steel! Sharp and immutable Become golden! Soft and beautiful Become metal! Metal! Metal! [music fade] (whispered) Feeling Meaning
