Shadow Segment

from Even a Broken Record by Malaphors

lyrics

Go!

Chase the dragon blind
To meet the bottom line
But you can always take a deeper dive
For the numbers to align – for the dollar sign
An audience of souls under control
Captive from the word "go"!

(Skin, so paper-thin)
The veneer of the loyalty you've sold
(Will you reach within?)
And pull out just a fraction of a–

Sold your soul – still not old
You'll run out of your head
Trepanning for that gold
You care for nothing more
You're "in", or you're dead
You're out of your head
So lose control!

(Just another mess
Another segment of a shadow
Of a life, so careless
You do not impress
Another fragment of a fallow
Human life, couldn't care less
Just another mess
Another segment of a shadow
Of a life, so careless
You do not impress
Another fragment of a fallow
Human life, couldn't care less)

Your life is all designed
Terminally online
Fucked by the system and you've sure enjoyed the ride
Meteoric rise, planetary decline
Poison the well, shock like a shell
And raise all hell!

(So paper-thin
Will you reach within?
Are you burning life
To soak that sinful soul?)

Sold your soul – still not old
You'll run out of your head
Trepanning for that gold
You care for nothing more
You're "in", or you're dead
You're out of your head
So lose control!

(Just another mess
Another segment of a shadow
Of a life, so careless
You do not impress
Another fragment of a fallow
Human life, couldn't care less
Just another mess
Another segment of a shadow
Of a life, so careless
You do not impress
Another fragment of a fallow human life)

You're "in", or you're dead!
You're out of your head!

Sold your soul – still not old
You'll run out of your head
Trepanning for that gold
You care for nothing more
You're "in", or you're dead
You're out of your head
So lose control!
