letra de the perfect cog - alice in black

i lament the
time that has passed
thought that i’d have
at least one egg
but my basket is empty, and
i’m scared there’s no way out

i’m stuck on a
single broke wheel
could just walk, but
even if i
travel all of
the thousand steps
would i even reach the
far land i’ve only seen in pictures?

even if you say you
believe in me
all of my past ghosts
weigh me down like they’re an
anchor
most who dive into the
ocean will drown
and i’m no different
i’m scared i’ll also drown
even
if you say, “just bеlieve ☆,”
i can’t shake thе
whispers from my past –
those ghosts that are still haunting me
brought nothing to
the winter feast;
my hands were bruised
they were bloodied
don’t have time for
anything that isn’t the cold machine

god, another
november has
arrived and gone;
the feast has passed
and i lament
how the passion
of my youth has become
the bane of my aloof existence

even if you say you
believe in me
all of my past ghosts
weigh me down like they’re an
anchor
most who dive into the
ocean will drown
and i’m no different
i’m scared i’ll also drown
even
if you say, “just believe ☆,”
i can’t shake the
whispers from my past –
those ghosts that are still haunting me
the life i’d wanted
is so close that i can
touch it, but when i bite down, all i taste
is sorrow and regret
time has worn me down like all the machines;
i’m now an old, broken
model of the outdated ver. 1.0
but unlike a machine
i’d like to think i’m human, but
i’m a cog

this isn’t the way that
humans should live:
selling our souls for a heartless machine
living
to appease the machine
counting pennies
that won’t pay the rent
and at the end of it
i fear
that when they bury me
i’ll lament all
the time i’d wasted
trying to become the
perfect cog
