lyrics

You came along at the perfect time
I was picking up the pieces of an active mind
The remnants of a system we were told to abide
Abandoned in the chaos that I left behind

Forgive you anything, forgive you anything
A desperation cry fixation, procreate asphyxiation
Take it all from me, and mend your broken wing
Our future coming, started running, radiation’s silent humming...
I fell down.

The circuit glowing amber there behind your eyes
Mechanical devices I could not describe
The violence of awakening so long denied
Reacting in the engine as you come alive

Forgive you anything, forgive you anything
A desperation cry fixation, procreate asphyxiation
Take it all from me, and mend your broken wing
Our future coming, started running, radiation’s silent humming...

A face that I can’t visualise
A state rendered uncivilised
A place that you would trivialise
Resist logging our frail designs
I’m held down

A chemical imbalance sealed my demise
Destabilising urges, a corrosive tide
The agents of authority are mobilised
They’re 401 and closing in the override

Forgive you anything, forgive you anything
A desperation cry fixation, procreate asphyxiation
Take it all from me, and mend your broken wing
Our future coming, started running, radiation’s silent humming -

A face that I can’t visualise
A state rendered uncivilised
A place that you would trivialise
Resist logging our frail designs

Lock in our frail designs, through valedictorian eyes
Lock in our frail designs, a vision of genocide
Lock in our frail designs, a nation infantalised
Lock in our frail designs, on medicine you prescribe
...I’m held down.
