From the recording Diod
This was actually the first track I wrote solo! Surprisingly it was only meant to be a single and not a full album but after writing it I got the creative gusto to continue on with a few more tracks.
Lyrics
Flesh rips
Muscle tears
Machine grips
Leaves me bare
Changing me, evolving me, destroying me, upgrading me
Invasive tools wielded by code
Hacking away all of my bone
Promises immortal steel
Cold metal, to which I reel
Cutting through my excess flesh
I scream "Do not!" for I detest
Burning pincers strip away
All that I know a price to pay
I reject, it does not care
Silencing me I grasp for air
No more human, something greater
Though obscene
I become machine
I become machine
Ghost limbs
Phantom pains
Metal nerves
Force change
Bionic parts
Cycle oil
Pumping blood
Through my coils
Inferior precious eyes
Replaced and modified
Pistons
Hydraulic parts
Cogwheels
Instead of hearts
Cutting through my excess flesh
I scream "Do not!" for I detest
Burning pincers strip away
All that I know a price to pay
I reject, it does not care
Silencing me I grasp for air
No more human, something greater
Though obscene
I become machine
Foreign subroutines whittle away
Their dutiful execution beautiful
With each eternal fleeting moment
I struggle to remember myself
It matters little now
It doesn't matter now
It couldn't matter now
I am machine
I am machine
I am machine
