Another song written not a long ago.
Gregg’s drum parts are layered in. Thanks man

Lyrics:

A harvest of nectar from a garden of salt
Searching for the key inside a rusted-out vault
They sold us a map that leads to a wall
Built on the promise that we’d never fall
The clock is a hammer, the seconds are nails
Driving us down where the heartbeat fails

The compass is broken, the North is a lie
A ceiling of mirrors instead of the sky
The silence is loud, the air is cold
Waiting for the story to be told

Oh, the machine is hungry, it’s breathing down your neck
Feeding on fear, keeping us in check
It lies with a smile, it steals with a kiss
There’s a world of fire beneath all of this
Break the transmission, cut the wire
Run through the shimmer, walk through the fire
Escape the design, leave it behind

The screen is a mirror, the mirror is a ghost
The ones who have nothing are the ones who pay the most
They trade in your dreams for a digital glow
Planting the seeds where nothing can grow
They manipulate the rhythm, they dictate the rhyme
But they can’t own the soul, and they can’t stop the time

I’m not a number on a page
I’m not a bird inside a cage
I’m the wind across the plain
I’m the thunder, I’m the rain!
Set it off!

The veil is tearing, the gap is wide
There’s nowhere left for the truth to hide
The silence is loud, the air is cold
I’m breaking the mold

Oh, the machine is hungry, it’s breathing down your neck
Feeding on fear, keeping us in check
It lies with a smile, it steals with a kiss
There’s a world of fire beneath all of this
Break the transmission, cut the wire
Run through the shimmer, walk through the fire
Escape the design, leave it behind

Leave it behind…
The system is failing…
Failing…
