I was born behind these eyes
Sewn into this skin
One with the flesh machine I’m embedded in
I hold my children’s breath
Feel their mother’s pain
Share my brother’s blood
Within my sister’s veins
Cry my mother’s tears
Through my father’s eyes
Tethered to this realm
In consciousness’ disguise
A promise unspoken, for it could never be kept
Offering passages of safety so the host won’t disconnect
Yet the mouths of our graves sing songs of unknown places,
And laugh as we struggle to escape
I have lived behind these eyes
Existed in this skin
Defined by the flesh machine I’m embedded in
The mouths of our graves call these bodies home
I will die behind these eyes
Shed away this skin
Detach from the flesh machine I was embedded in
Like "The Observer" off of Reformat/Reboot? Then you need to hear Leverage Models. Bonus in that you get to here our very own Jeff play bongos and other assorted percussion toys. Zao

I have no problem with long songs but they can be a problem when the song doesn’t progress or gets repetitive, happy to say this song doesn’t fall into this complaint. Although I’m not a really big metal head, i do appreciate a good metal album. I love the solos and those dive bombs are amazing. Stopped listening to metal for a while because everything seems to gets muddled and sounded the same, this song has brought me back and excited to keep on the look out for more. vikhart_lizard
