This Human Machine

Chained down in darkness. The only light I see is calling me. I stand among the masses who are content to stay. I need to run away. This human machine pushes me on and I advance. I improve while others just remove themselves. Deeper and deeper I see them falling in. Suffocate the mind. Not this time. I see no future in stagnation. I can't remain the same. I have to break these chains. This human machine pushes me on and I advance. I improve while others just remove themselves. The light shone, I saw my shadow. My figure chained. Bound to the wall. I saw the others. The blank faces. And I refused to fall into darkness. To the darkness that life just passes by. I saw the people with frozen lives. I will not make theirs mine. This machine pushes me on
