Part Of The Machine Lyrics - Singles - Fates Warning

Just another face in the crowd 

Wandering towards obscurity. 

Driven by the dull desires 

Of a worn out routine. 

Stagnant in the suffocating silence 

Of emotional exile, 

A fugitive from freedom 

Surrenders to mediocrity. 

A helpless voice 

Starting to sink. 

You could make a choice 

But you never learned to think 

Weary and weakened 

Victims fall prey 

To vague ideals 

And passionless play. 

Systematic spontaneity 

In synchronized society. 

Immersed in the cause 

And the call of the day, 

Sacrificed inner needs 

Give way. 

To shared individuality 

In collective reality. 

A spirit of belonging 

Satisfies your longing 

But the truth is never seen. 

False sense of freedom grows 

But dependency shows 

Your part of the machine. 

A hopeless choice, 

Searching for someone real. 

You could find that voice 

But you never learned to feel.
