Sad Machines

An ageless question, universal 

They're asking why 

Creation destined cries flood the night in pain 

They say if You are real then take it away 

But man will only look to You lying on his face 



Now we lie awake 

With shut eyes 

So to forever forget this 



These cries, this agony, injustices, suffering 

Symptoms of a larger disease 

Inside of me and you and me 

So try to close you eyes and make it fade away 

But open and you'll see 

This stain is you, this stain is me 



Now so many wonder why it is 

So much has gone awry in all of this 

And being makes you sigh that you exist 

But you can't escape this 

Seemingly undeserved is your lot 

But generations past and you forgot 

We chose to eat our fill and fell to not 

This pain is here reminding us to turn and leave 

To come back home 



Pointing to show us the way
