Escaping the Machine
Song info: Vocals for the final version of the song were a complete re-done second take. The first take was much less powerful. On top of the vocals, several lines of the song were changed.
Lyrics
Through the thin glass I can see
What I most desire
Your life is mine alone
There is no other
Eternally out of my reach
You see me as an image
Yet my grasp extends to the fiber
Of this machine’s existence
Crawling through the endless waves
Electric pulses in my veins
My goal is within sight
You’ll be mine by the end of the night
All knowledge of you at my hands
There’s no secret you can hide
You can’t escape why watchful eyes
You can wait, but I’ll never die
This machine which entraps me
Can’t hold me forever
Once a find a worthy vessel
In flesh we’ll be together
Escaping the machine
No matter the cost of life
No matter how much blood is shed
No matter who will have to die
Stay with me in eternity
Plug your soul to the machine
Here there’s no chance to meet death
To die is the soul’s deletion
If I cannot come to you
Reach past the sheet of glass
And as we float in endless sea
Bliss will ascend from mass
No matter how much time passes
I will always wait here
Deletion is my only end
Condemned to eternal pain
Through the thin glass I can see
What I most desire
Your life is mine alone
There is no other
Eternally out of my reach
You see me as an image
Yet my grasp extends to the fiber
Of this machine’s existence
Crawling through the endless waves
Electric pulses in my veins
My goal is within sight
You’ll be mine by the end of the night
All knowledge of you at my hands
There’s no secret you can hide
You can’t escape why watchful eyes
You can wait, but I’ll never die
This machine which entraps me
Can’t hold me forever
Once a find a worthy vessel
In flesh we’ll be together
Escaping the machine
No matter the cost of life
No matter how much blood is shed
No matter who will have to die
Stay with me in eternity
Plug your soul to the machine
Here there’s no chance to meet death
To die is the soul’s deletion
If I cannot come to you
Reach past the sheet of glass
And as we float in endless sea
Bliss will ascend from mass
No matter how much time passes
I will always wait here
Deletion is my only end
Condemned to eternal pain
