"The Machine"

Running from the truth again
Its habit I cant break
Playing yet another game
Going by a different name
From the moment I began
Got my strategy in place
Laser focused til the end
Made both enemies and friends
break the mold
Gather the strength
Start the fight
Cease and desist
I won’t comply
With the machine
Dont ask me why
Won’t come clean
Futile to try
Make me resist
Keep me unplugged
From the machine
If the price I have to pay
To be loved by everyone
Is to lose my soul again
Then I’d rather lose the crown
All I wanted was a taste
Of the good life and the fame
Hollow version of myself
I am finally awake
break the mold
Gather the strength
Start the fight
Cease and desist
I won’t comply
With the machine
Dont ask me why
Won’t come clean
Futile to try
Make me resist
Keep me unplugged
From the machine
Falling into
The bottomless pit
Reaching the ground
The truth sets in
I’m already down
I look above
The only way out
To climb back up
I won’t comply
With the machine
Dont ask me why
Won’t come clean
Futile to try
Make me resist
Keep me unplugged
From the machine
I won’t comply
With the machine
Dont ask me why
Won’t come clean
Futile to try
Make me resist
Keep me unplugged
From the machine
