No escape
A victim to the machine
That has tried to swallow her whole
Nothing ever fits
Besides the feelings that they stole
Scared for a life
That we're not willing to give up on
Knowing that more than a million
Are being taken in and stabbed by the knife
Continuing to split people open
Again and again
Until there's nothing left to tear apart.
There's no escape from it
You can run, but you can't hide
Searching for something more
And I just can't take it
Watching people fall to their knees
Pleading for forgiveness
When inside their innocent eyes
Are people wasted by the monster
We're slowly fading away
Leaving real people behind.
Perfection has a devious price
A tax that nobody should pay
But people do it, I've seen it
They do it anyway
Nothing will mend itself on it's own
That one thing that will never change
Hurts until the last victim falls down
That's when we'll know
That's when I'll know for sure
That the machine has truly been broken.
