Machinations Video (MV)

Remember the times, when we could trust
They lead me astray, for I am just
The sun falling fast, behind your will
While I wait for you to join me, still

Fate is just a knock on the door
A gun against the face of the youth
A cage that keeps the families apart
And a voice that's screaming

You keep the money away
You try to make us pay
Behind the locks and the vaults
You'll silence those at fault

And when we wake up from your greed
I'll keep your shadow next to me
The time we sold off the truth
To the f*cking highest bidder
To the rich go the spoils
And the rest of us in the dirt,
Who are left with nothing

It's been said, it's all for show, couldn't lie, if you don't know
When you're pressed, not your fault, someone else, same excuse

Grasp at straws
Beauty in hate
Tenuous hold
Onto your sanity

You hide your bodies in plain sight
Scream to the heavens that you are right
Protect yourself at every cost
Sacrifice the future you lost

Contempt for what you say you love
Ruling comes at the sacrifice of freedom
How long until I'm hunted like a dog
A gun in every hand and a bullet in my flesh

And in the raging torrent of hate
There is a core of rising violence
We fail to make a peaceful end
And come up short to bring us home

The Gears are bleeding
My Mind is reeling
Erase my eyes
Programmed lies

Take away control and power
Seal the money, hide the evidence
We'll drag the whole f*cking thing
Into the light

The Gears are bleeding
My Mind is reeling
Erase my eyes
Programmed lies
(The way we work against each other
The way they make you take the fall
We pull the pin and run for cover
While they just hide behind a wall)
