Teeth of Gears

Eyeliner digs epitaphs in the dressing room
It's hate that drives me now, the only thing I've yet to lose
Vengeance be thy name
Imperfections bleached away
Emotions deemed obsolete
Dead tongues murmur soliloquies
This world betrayed by autonomy as I sold you and you sold me
Everyday becomes the same
Every face fades into the rain
And you used to look so gorgeous when you smiled

But now when we kiss all I can taste is battery acid
I have seen the gears beneath you flesh
I have pushed my hands past the wires that swell inside your chest
You are only a machine plugged to the heart of an animal
Instincts and urges compel the few to howl revenge beneath a waning moon
