As I Lay Dying - Gears That Never Stop Lyrics

Gears that never stop
Gears that never stop turning
Automated but still alive
Alive and burning

Powered by a storm
That hardly calms before it reforms
Fixed in rotation
Fueled by worry and anticipation
Nowhere to take shelter in sight
Every window and door boarded tight
Like walking alone down a dark street
Not knowing what's about to be unleashed

At war with something in my head
A doubt I feel every day
A glitch inside the machine
On and on and on, repeating
Something in my head
A war I fight from within
Struggle goes on and on
All along the way

Under the gun yet restrained to a chair
Bleeding out trapped in an elevator
It feels like an impossible choice
Critically ill but I can't make a noise

Something in my head
A doubt I feel every day
A glitch inside the machine
On and on and on, repeating
Something in my head
A war I fight from within
Struggle goes on and on
All along the way

I close my eyes, I close my eyes
I close my eyes to reset

I close my eyes, I close my eyes
I close my eyes to reset

And change the nightmare
And change the nightmare that I am in
Thoughts like crashing waves
Crumbling over and over again

Gears that never stop
Gears that never stop turning
Gears that never stop
Gears that never stop turning
Gears that never stop turning (stop turning)
Automated but still alive and burning

Something in my head
A doubt I feel every day
A glitch inside the machine
On and on and on, repeating
Something in my head
A war I fight from within
Struggle goes on and on
All along the way

The gears that never stop (all along the way)
The storm that never calms
The gears that never stop
The storm that never calms
