lyrics

(Verse 1)
Same (Same)
Shit (God damn thing)

Different (Different)

Day (Headaches)

May (Might)

Break you (Break you)

Can’t (Can’t)
Break me

(Pre-chorus 1)
Chemicals under my tongue, or through the lungs
Or in a vein, they start to paint
A prettier picture than
The one we’ve been provided with

(Chorus)
Just a taste, just a touch, just a tab

Just to ease the monotony of
 doing this whole thing
Again and again and 
again and again and 

Again and again and 
again and again and again

(Verse 2)
Same (New)
Shit (God please make it stop)
Same (Ceaseless)
Life (Again and again and again and again and it)
May (Will)
Break you (Crush You)
Can’t (Won't)
Touch me

(Pre-chorus 2)
The machines rings likes bells for me
So splendidly for only me
Colours and shapes is all I see
No human beings, there's only me
Screeching and grinding likes bells for me
It's hell for me, I beg you please
Shut them all off, but you won't it seems
So dosed I'll be, my mind set free

(Chorus)
Just a taste, just a touch, just a tab

Just to ease the monotony of
 doing this whole thing
Again and again and 
again and again and 

Again and again and 
again and again and again

-------

(Alternate chorus)
Drifting off to
(But still the motors running)
Tranquil lands
(Gears sharp like knives start cutting)
Twisting cogwheel limbs to
Mangled hands
(Blood spills you)
Screams don’t reach me
(It’s all falling a-)
Part without me
(I am blind to your)
Suffering at the hands of the
Crumbling machine

(Bridge)
The dogma of dependency
Colours the monotony
The subterfuge of substances
Subjugates reality

Can’t break me, touch me
Hurt me, fuck me
Wrap around my
Neck and crush me

Planets span oblivion
Yet we’re all trapped in our own skins
I burrow deeper into mine
A cosmos I alone define

Can’t break me, touch me
Hurt me, fuck me
You suffer, I soar

(Outro)
Mad visions are
Haunting me, keep me sane
My escape from tyranny is my
Dissolution from humanity
