Automaton

Inside the beige expanse
 Between the two extremes
 Reality begins to flicker
 A wall with no detail
 A face with no expression
 A gun with a missing trigger
 No anger or despair
 No ecstasy or bliss
 Just a husk, left with no feeling
 Shambling through life
 In non-descript surroundings
 Is a soul, that's worth concealing
 No ups
 No downs
 Emotion gone
 No blood
 No soul
 Automaton
 ♪
 Emotionally inert
 Sporadically alert
 The drone of the world is numbing
 The traffic howls outside
 The rumble of machines
 Seem to warn, of what is coming
 The pressure starts to build
 While the surface is pristine
 There's no sign, of doom impending
 But cracks begin to form
 An aperture in bloom
 A threshold, to somber endings
 No ups
 No downs
 Emotion gone

 No blood
 No soul
 Automaton
 ♪
 Distant and detached
 Impassive and aloof
 The bullets start to rip through the building
 Splinters taking flight
 Through nebulas of smoke
 And the cries, of the unwilling
 Emotion overwhelms
 A hurricane of fear
 A moment, of realization
 The monster hid inside
 Until it couldn't sleep
 A disastrous, abomination
