about

As the feeling leaves your fingers, toes, heart, tell me-- Was knowing worth it?

lyrics

Connected tunnels and rats
All tied together in knots
With rope and caution tape

I think you'll find
The soul is like a secret here
It's hard to keep it safe

We run this town
And all we ask back
Is a measure of respect
And occasional sacrifice

We're powerful
But we're happy down here
So give us what we want
If you want us to play nice

Illusion of control
Your world ends down below

The gears all turning alive and beneath your cities
Beautiful souls and minds here beneath your cities
You wouldn't last a day yeah

The gears all turning alive and beneath your cities
Wicked hearts and minds here beneath your cities
You'd best avert your gaze yeah

Ghosts and spectres and dead
All swim around in your head
Oh no this cannot be

The story that you made
The fiction you thought up
That help put you to sleep

Well it's alive and
Well, we just decided
That you're the number one
Candidate to take its place

And normally we'd respect
Your skepticism but
We're kind of in a hurry
So we'll forgo your final say

The fragile will of man
My wish is your command

The gears all turning alive and beneath your cities
Beautiful souls and minds here beneath your cities
You wouldn't last a day yeah

The gears all turning alive and beneath your cities
Wicked hearts and minds here beneath your cities
You'd best avert your gaze yeah

Yeah yeah yeah you lost little boy
With a lot like yours you were never gonna make it
You know what we do with lost little boys
The cameras are rolling now begin the mutation

The End of Progress
by mystakin

It's haunting, dark, moody prog rock that alternately makes you want to plan the demise of the human race, bust out the whiskey and party, and go kick someone's ass. Also Mystakin is a great guitarist Single White Infidel
