CG5 – Ballad of the Walking Machines Lyrics
Just around the bend,
Try to comprehend,
These walking machines are not pretend,
Far from all repair,
Can you be prepared?
Don’t make it obvious you’re scared.
Lock up all the doors,
Hide until the morn,
There’s no way out,
There’s no way out.
So don’t you even try,
To run away now.
Waiting out the clock,
Got no time to live.
Why’d you pick up a nighttime shift?
Every moment, danger,
Every moment, fear.
They already know that you are here.
So lock up all the doors,
Hide until the morn,
There’s no way out,
There’s no way out.
So don’t you even try,
To run away now.
So put your sanity in your pocket,
Not gonna need it when they come knockin’,
Forget about imagination,
And pray to God for your salvation.
You’re alive right now,
Survive right now.
That’s all you can do.
If you’re alive right now,
Survive right now.
That’s all you can do.
I’m no machine
Why would I lie?
Sometimes a dream
Is a nightmare disguised
No more time to rehearse
So I’ll grind through my verse
When I died, system fried
Don’t know why I still work
And the crime wasn’t solved
Purple guys – unabsolved
Tryna tie up the theories
Outlined on your walls
All the sins remain with the pain inside
They reskinned my face, but the paint won’t dry
Who said this place was made of magic, cuz I call it a casket
And in my case it’s open, but they’re hoping they can mask it
An attraction – that’s all I am to anyone
I guess you only learn what you’re worth when you’re gone
Nothing left to do I guess I’ll sing the songs that they want
Our collective conscience twisted up – as long as I’ve got
You in my heart I’ll know I’m not alone baby
It’s a comfort knowing we’re both going crazy
So put your sanity in your pocket,
Not gonna need it when they come knockin’,
Forget about imagination,
And pray to God for your salvation.
You’re alive right now,
Survive right now.
That’s all you can do.
If you’re alive right now,
Survive right now.
That’s all you can do.
I’m crazy, I’m crazy,
I’m crazy, I’m going crazy,
I’m crazy, I’m crazy,
I’m crazy.
Just around the bend,
Try to comprehend,
These walking machines are not pretend,
Far from all repair,
Can you be prepared?
Look right over there.
So put your sanity in your pocket,
Not gonna need it when they come knockin’,
Forget about imagination,
And pray to God for your salvation.
You’re alive right now,
Survive right now.
That’s all you can do.
If you’re alive right now,
Survive right now.
That’s all you can do.
I’m crazy, I’m crazy,
I’m crazy, I’m going crazy,
I’m crazy, I’m crazy,
I’m crazy.
