Machina / The Machines Of God

Glass and the Ghost Children

to the center of the earth

or anywhere god decides

full of fever pulling forth

we hear our call as all

to the center of the earth

as if written in

dna is reaching out

to your frequency

i want to live

don't want to die

i want to live

i want to try

all in prayer

prayer in all

all are scared

scared of all

black rooms are calling

to men in leather coats

white labs are cooking up the silver ghost

the glass migrates under her translucent skin

and all the spiders wonder what we've got us in

all is you

you are all

all with you

you in all

i want to live

i don't want to die

i want to live

i want to try

(spoken)

so beats the final coda

of a vinyl storm

one more cherry cola

to lift up her dead arms

a dream of soft focus sunsets

filters thru the din

we are loosing contact

as she dials it in

she can hear glass calling

or is it someone that looks like him

she eyes tv reflection

and nods a knowing look

she says it doesn't matter

she never liked her looks

i have seen a thousand fractures

i have seen everything

cause knowing is it's own answer

love something in a book

there's not much left to ponder

not much left to cook

as she counted the spiders

as they crawled up inside her
