The Becoming

I beat my machine it's a part of me it's inside of me

I'm stuck in this dream it's changing me i am becoming

The me that you know had some second thoughts

He's covered with scabs and he is broken and sore

The me that you know doesn't come around much

That part of me isn't here anymore

All pain disappears it's the nature of my circuitry

Drowns out all i hear there's no escape from this my new consciousness

That me that you know used to have feelings

But the blood has stopped pumping and he's left to decay

The me that you know is now made up of wires

And even when i'm right with you i'm so far away

I can try to get away but i've strapped myself in

I can try to scratch away the sound in my ears

I can see it killing away all my bad parts

I don't want to listen but it's all too clear

Hiding backwards inside of me i feel so unafraid

Annie, hold a little tighter i might just slip away



It won't give up it wants me dead

Goddamn this noise inside my head
