Blood In The Gears

[Verse 1]
Steel boots on the factory floor
Badge number burned in my skin
Clock-in code carved in my jaw
I grind
I spark
I spin

[Verse 2]
Smoke ghosts crawl through my lungs
Rust flakes fall from my tongue
Barcode brand on my brain
I glitch when they pull the chain

[Chorus]
Rust in the circuit
Blood in the gears
I am the engine
Choking on years
Rust in the circuit
Hear my core ignite
I was built for damage
I was born to bite

[Verse 3]
Spare parts stacked like bones
Cold lights crown their thrones
They feed me data and rage
I tear through their gilded cage

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Turn the line off
Kill the hum
Hear my pulse
Hear the drum
Metal spine
Starting to crack
I rip the wires out my back

[Outro Solo]
[guitar solo over hammering drums and surging synth swells
Feedback dives and squeals circle a grinding riff
Effects rising in waves until a final bent note hangs
Drowning in distortion]
