I have been here for too long.
In this lonesome twisted land.

It is deep and sickening.
I have to find my way back home.
The only way to find myself.
Is to descend deeper still.

I'm stuck and cold.
I'm stuck and cold in marshland.
I'm stuck and cold.
Where life is plentiful but nothing lives.
I'm stuck and cold.
I'm stuck and cold in marshland.
I'm stuck and cold,
Where life is plentiful but nothing lives.

A voice I know speaks to me.
Of self-deceit and mockery.
I search for life and sights to see.
Somewhere beyond this cold Machinery.

I'm stuck and cold.
I'm stuck and cold in marshland.
I'm stuck and cold.
Where life is plentiful but nothing lives.
I'm stuck and cold.
I'm stuck and cold in marshland.
I'm stuck and cold,
Where life is plentiful but nothing lives.

Nothing that I say or do,
Matters to the big machine.
Nothing that I think or feel,
Matters to the big machine.
And if I am dead when tomorrow's gone,
The big machine will just move on.

The scar you gave me left my soul,
Hollow like the love you showed.
That empty shell you offered me,
Took me further away from The Machine.

I'm stuck and cold.
I'm stuck and cold in marshland.
I'm stuck and cold.
Where life is plentiful but nothing lives.
I'm stuck and cold.
I'm stuck and cold in marshland.
I'm stuck and cold.
Where life is plentiful but nothing lives.

Nothing that I say or do,
Matters to the big machine.
Nothing that I think or feel,
Matters to the big machine.
If I am dead when tomorrow's gone,
The big machine will just move on.

Nothing that I say or do,
Matters to the machine.
Nothing that I think or feel,
Matters to the machine.
If I am dead when tomorrow's gone,
The big machine will just move on.
And if I am dead when tomorrow's gone,
The big machine will just move on.
