The State Machine

[Verse 1] Ten years of trust Breaking bread at my table Your smile seemed real Every word a lie Every laugh a mask Feeding them my life [Chorus] Your reports destroy everything I am The state machine churns with my pain [Verse 2] Black cars waiting Files filled with poison My name in red ink Friends disappeared Because you spoke Your reward was blood [Chorus] Your reports destroy everything I am The state machine churns with my pain [Bridge] Comrade, did the coins feel heavy? Was the price of betrayal worth the cost? I see it in your eyes now The emptiness of a soul that's lost [Solo] [Verse 3] They took my sister She knew nothing But still you watched As they dragged her away Now I stand here One last time [Chorus] Your reports destroy everything I am The state machine churns with my pain [Outro] The machine... The machine... Takes us all (Takes us all)
