Belie The Machine

a species was chosen to lie for
 a species was chosen to tame
 a brain stem, emotion, and devastation
 logic suppressed, spirit stripped away
 a human was told what to stand for
 a human was told who to blame
 no questions for answers that retch for freedom
 consumed in fire
 mortar and scorched clay
 feign grace
 save face at all cost
 now take our place
 with all that we've lost
 belie the machine that hurts you and you are ashamed
 belie the machine that breaks you and you are to blame
 here lie all the lives deserted
 kept from the light
 a human was told what to stand for
 a human was told who to blame
 no questions for answers that retch for freedom
 consumed in fire
 mortar and scorched clay
 a reason was chosen to die for
 a reason that no one could name
 a grave for its creatures with no distinction
 logic suppressed
 spiritstripped away
 feign grace
 save face at all cost
 now take our place
 with all that we've lost
 belie the machine that hurts you and you are ashamed
 belie the machine that breaks you and you are to blame
 here lie all the lives deserted
 kept from the light of day
 we will be shaken by the earth
 and forsaken by the sun
 as cursed rite of birth
 is frantically undone
 backwards and downwards, through right and left nerves
 stripped of all garments while gasping for words
 black sky above and infinite below
 manifestations we no longer know
 this is not a dream
 this indignity
 writhe internally
 wake eternally
 backwards and downwards, through right and left nerves
 stripped of all garments while gasping for words
 black sky above and infinite below
 manifestations we no longer know
 feign grace
 save face at all cost
 now take our place
 with all that we've lost
 belie the machine that hurts you and you are ashamed
 belie the machine that breaks you and you are to blame
