Quolki - Machinery Lyrics

Jaws hold tight
Crushing theeth
Heavy bite
Hurts the sleeve
Piston mouth
Push an heave
Up and down
Try to breathe
Long assembly lines
Lay your dreams on ice
Wires lead the way
Mine is not the same
It could all be great
Just get on that line
Turn the knob and wait
All will be just fine

Lead and wooden gears
Oiled with blood and tears
Corpses left and right
There's no end in sight
I want to change it all
But it holds me to the ground
Trying to stab me with its claws
Kicking me, throwing me down!

The machine goes on
Nothing I can do about it
I'm holding on
Nothing it can do about it
I'll carry on

Escape the web
Reach for land
Step by step
Until the end
Drowned in sweat
I will stand
See me rev
I'm not jammed

Run with self-made gears
Oiled with sweat and tears
I'm in my own hand
This won't need an end
I can't alter the past
And I can't change the now
All the shadows it casts
None of this will cut me out

The machine goes on
Nothing I can do about it
I'm holding on
Nothing it can do about it
The machine goes on
Nothing I can do about it
I'll carry on
I will find a way around it

Step by step

The machine goes on
Nothing I can do about it
I'm holding on
I will find a way around it
