Engine of Skin Lyrics


Are you in love with your engine of skin?

Where does it end and you begin?

Does all the pain make you feel alive?

A burn from a fire? A cut from a knife?

Blood from the cut will be lost in the soil

Little by little, ‘till nothing remains

Bring on the future where synthetic oil

Slowly replaces the blood in my veins

On your soft palate - expiration date

And someday you will find you've got used to pain

Apathy will rise, and it grows in size

Just as fast as the growing disease in your brain

Can you experience life as it is?

Excluding all the wavelengths you miss?

And every day you can feel even less

The time has come for breeding and death

My mind and my soul are a chemical process

It can be copied, deleted and more

When one door opens, the other one closes

But now we can break open all of the doors

On your soft palate - expiration date

And someday you will find you've got used to pain

Apathy will rise, and it grows in size

Just as fast as the growing disease in your brain

Are you afraid of evolving too far?

That at the end we’ll lose who we are?

If you are burning the things you oppose

Add to the pile your glasses and clothes

Take all the flesh that I could live without

Damn all the feelings, it is but a shell

Upload my soul and my mind to the cloud

While my body can go straight to hell

On your soft palate - expiration date

And someday you will find you' ve got used to pain

Apathy will rise, and it grows in size

Just as fast as the growing disease in your brain

Sometimes I dream

Of Luddites reversed

That will break down

The engines of old

Armed to the teeth

With pitchforks and torches

We'll come to the source

To start a revolt

Blood from my core

Rains on the floor

I’d rather die

Then give up control

Broken machine

The engine of skin

When you will end

Then I’ll begin

Are you in love with your engine of skin?

Where does it end and you begin?

Does all the pain make you feel alive?

A burn from a fire? A cut from a knife?

Blood from the cut will dissolve in the ocean

Little by little you rot from within

Your soul is trapped in a downward motion

Powered one-way by the engine of skin

On your soft palate - expiration date

And someday you will find you've got used to pain

Apathy will rise, and it grows in size

Just as fast as the growing disease in your brain
