The Becoming
The Becoming: Unraveling the Machine Within
Lyrics
I beat my machine
I struggle with my own mechanical nature
It's a part of me, it's inside of me
My machine side is integral to who I am
I'm stuck in this dream
I'm trapped in a distorted reality
It's changing me, I am becoming
This dream is transforming me into something different
The me that you know
The version of me that you recognize
He had some second thoughts
Expressing doubt and reconsideration
He's covered with scabs
Physically damaged, covered in scars
He is broken and sore
Emotionally and physically shattered
The me that you know
The familiar version of me
He doesn't come around much
Is distant and rarely present
That part of me isn't here anymore
A part of me has vanished
All pain disappears
Pain is no longer felt
It's the nature of, of my circuitry
It's the inherent nature of my programming
Drowns out all I hear
Overwhelms and silences external stimuli
No escape from this, my new consciousness
No escape from my altered consciousness
The me that you know
The recognizable me
He used to have feelings
Once capable of emotions
But the blood has stopped pumping
Blood, symbolizing vitality, has ceased flowing
And he is left to decay
Left to deteriorate
The me that you know
The known me
Is now made up of wires
Composed of wires, suggesting a mechanized existence
And even when I'm right with you
Even when physically close, emotionally distant
I'm so far away
A sense of profound detachment
I can try to get away
Attempting to break free
But I've strapped myself in
But restrained by my own choices
I can try to scratch away
Trying to erase the disturbing noise
The sound in my ears
The persistent dissonance in my perception
I can see it killing away
Witnessing the elimination of my negative aspects
All of my bad parts
Resisting the urge to confront my flaws
I don't want to listen
Reluctance to heed unpleasant truths
But it's all too clear
The reality is undeniable
Hiding backwards inside of me
Concealing my true self internally
I feel so unafraid
Feeling fearless within this hidden state
Annie, hold a little tighter
Annie is urged to hold on tightly
I might just slip away
Possibly on the verge of slipping away
It won't give up, it wants me dead
A persistent force desires my demise
Goddamn this noise inside my head
Frustration with the internal noise
It won't give up, it wants me dead
The relentless urge for self-destruction
Goddamn this noise inside my head
Expressing frustration with mental turmoil
It won't give up, it wants me dead
The unwavering desire for self-annihilation
Goddamn this noise inside my head
The internal chaos intensifies
It won't give up, it wants me dead
The relentless drive towards self-destruction
Goddamn this noise inside my head
Continued frustration with mental turmoil
It won't give up, it wants me dead
The persistent urge for self-annihilation
Goddamn this noise inside my head
Expressing frustration with mental torment
It won't give up, it wants me dead
The ongoing desire for self-destruction
Goddamn this noise inside my head
Continued frustration with mental chaos
It won't give up, it wants me dead
The unyielding urge for self-annihilation
Goddamn this noise inside my head
Expressing frustration with internal turmoil
It won't give up, it wants me dead
The relentless drive towards self-destruction
Goddamn this noise inside my head
Experiencing relentless
