Listen to the gear as it hums the tune
Just a song I heard with words that I never knew
Load up all the lines they tell me I have to run
Execute and breathe once or twice, I’ve begun
I can make it all a part of me
Pray to no god, just commandments on a screen
Once, I was a man but NOW
I’m just a different machine
Standing in the queue with the rank and the file
Upgrade my arms so I can reach the sky
Take me apart, open up the case
Synchronize my heart so it keeps up the pace
Will I always dream but never fly?
I fall into line hoping to be seen
Once, I was a man but now
I’m just a different machine
Once, I was a man. Once, I was a child.
Once, I knew what I was made of
And once I gave that all away for something better
Now I know what I’m a slave of
Turn myself off and merge into the scene
Once, I was a man but NOW
I’m just a different machine
I’m just a different machine
I’m just a different machine
Once, I was a man. Once, I was a child.
Once I believed all I had seen
And once I gave it all away for something better
Now I’m just one more machine

Every time I think I’ve uncovered all the hidden gems I find another one, this is fine music. This band has two other more recent releases not available on Bandcamp, also amazing. Kind of a mix of genres with the post rock backbone I enjoy so much, very talented! Deej

Absolutely hooked on this album from first listen. How rare is that with prog!??? Excellent songwriting and musicianship. Can’t wait to dive into the rest of the collection. Thomas Lock
