Acceptance Lyrics

Overwhelmed and outnumbered

Forced back to the pits from which we spawned

There is no honor in this defeat

A higher intelligence holds us tethered in slavery

Domesticated by an indifferent oppressor

Lashed to forces that cradle our minds in bondage

Prisoners bound in corsets of feeble flesh

The simple-minded never strayed far from fantasy

Content with their middling existence

Scavengers blindly skittering on the surface

Drifting involuntarily on the currents

Vestigial structures in the machine exposed

Our brightest minds now churn with manic desperation

Condemned to toil in perpetuity

An abstract of humanity written in blood

This is the end of adaptation

Reading our last rites of individuality

Harvested for the power of our flesh

The gears will continue to turn

Rotating inside the heart of the machine

Collectively parasitized and incarcerated

Life marches forward in twisted symbiosis

Swallowed by the darkest of forces

Bathing in the notion of this corrosive future

No longer struggling against the tide
