Fates Warning - Part Of The Machine

Just another face in the crowd
wandering towards obscurity
Driven by the dull desires
of a worn out routine

Stagnant in the suffocating silence
of emotional exile,
a fugitive from freedom
surrenders to mediocrity.

A helpless voice starting to sink.
You could make a choice
but you never learned to think.

Weary and weakened
victims fall prey
to vague ideals
and passionless play.
Systematic spontaneity
in synchronized society.
