Lyrics
I'll show you the truth
I'll show you your purpose
Just a pencil and a dream
Created for entertainment
He lives on through us
Born from darkness, born from lust
'Cause when we reach the end
We do it all over again
Follow me
We are children of the machine
Barely human in a city
Built on broken dreams
Follow me
We are children of the machine
Barely human in a city
Built on broken dreams
It's a joyless job
When your heart's running empty at the seams
But after eons filling up the bottle
Singing on a desperate pencil and a dream
Well, the void was filled when you lived
To the empty ink, then we would sink
To the beat of a cog wheel turning
Love was the fuel that kept me from burning
To create this finest design
We need a magic darker than mine
And a kiss from the angels
Casting demons down the bottom line!
So wonderful how deep the love can flow
'Cause when you came into my life
I couldn't bear to let go
But the curtain came to close!
He lives on through us
We're born from darkness, born from lust
'Cause when we reach the end
We do it all over again!
Follow me
We are children of the machine
(We build this machine!)
Barely human in a city
Built on broken dreams
Follow me
We are children of the machine
(You came to life!)
Barely human in a city
Built on broken dreams
In the dark nightmare
See the spotlight glare
And accept your fate in time
In the dark nightmare
See the spotlight glare
And accept your fate in time!
Follow me
We are children of the machine
Barely human in a city
Built on broken dreams
