Lyrics

[Part I: when they make skeletons of uuuuuuuuuus] [Intro] Machines, the intelligent inhabitants of today's world are the next logical step in our evolution. They will supercede our current capabilities of survival, civilization, culture and of course, art (Artificial intelligence) (To replace what's within) [Pre-Chorus] Our bodies piling up Collecting dust Is it a fiend fiending for us? Or nature doing as it must? No, that's not nature That's a different construct Artificial construct [Verse] Through bandages, resin and sutures Vultures scars keep bleeding Thus every minute feeding It's never enough [Chorus] When they make skeletons of us When they make skeletons of us When they do everything they must Would it still be people you don't trust? [Pre-Chorus] Our bodies piling up Collecting dust Is it a fiend fiending for us? Or is it nature doing as it must? No. Nothing natural about it [Chorus] They make skeletons of us They make skeletons of us We'll be piles next to dust And still it's people you don't trust? [Verse] Goodbye to you, I can't do nothing You're in pursuit of hell if I know Damned if I don't just leave you on your merry way I don't understand, despite your luck You say it's people that you don't trust? [Bridge] You flee for a new life You've reached the end of your journey Before your very eyes, I morph everything that surrounds me The tangible, the digital I will give you a new life Superior life All you have to do, is hold still (They could turn you into what?) (Just more people you don't trust but) (You know half of us are dust?) (But so long if you must) (They could turn you into what?) (Just more people you don't trust but) (You know half of us are dust?) (But so long if you must) (They could turn you into what?) (Just more people you don't trust but-) [Chorus] They make skeletons of us They make skeletons of us They make skeletons of us They make skeletons of us You say it's people you don't trust When they make skeletons of us They make skeletons of us They make skeletons of us They make skeletons of us You say it's people you don't trust As if you were not one of us You say we ruin what you love When vultures turn our bones to rust Skeletons of us Turn our bones to rust Turn our bones to rust Skeletons of us Skeletons of us Turn our bones to rust Skeletons of us Skeletons of us [Bridge] (You dont know the half of it) (It's the life I chose to live) (Through the deep dark) Good for nothing [Part II: FILTHY, DIRTY, GOOD FOR NOTHING SHAPESHIFTER] [Verse] Shapeshifters gather under neon skylights on the forest floor They think I'm their new host That just irks me to my core Is it bad luck? Bad luck I left home, so I must die alone Mock my soul, they live to mock my soul You can't replace me, sorry I spent too much effort tryna keep this body moving along So I'm moving along 'Cuz no intelligent machine Can mimic the will of the human being So I'm moving along I said I'm moving along But as I travel out this forest I see the blood of mine feed verdured robotics [Chorus] Filthy, dirty, good for nothing Filthy, dirty, good for nothing Filthy, dirty, good for nothing Filthy, dirty, good for nothing [Verse] And the trees make leaves of binary Photosynthesizer And the bees debug the flora loops That make up the cycle of life Powered by LED lights of the sun's RGB And the deadly blue screen Or the trails of green lights this monitor's sleeptime The cycle of life, powered by LED lights of the sun's RGB And by bad RNG, fatal change has been set within me [Chorus] Filthy, dirty, good for nothing Filthy, dirty, good for nothing (They found me) Filthy, dirty, good for nothing Cycle of life, powered by LED lights (They found me) Filthy, dirty, good for nothing Filthy, dirty, good for nothing Filthy, dirty, good for nothing Cycle of life, powered by LED lights [Pre-Drop] Shapeshifter [Drop] Oh my god! What do you take me for? Okay! I don't wanna die like this! They're slicing my skin They're slicing my skin They're slicing my skin They're slicing my skin To replace what's within [Outro] My muscle and skin now of biomechanics Turn genes into strings, DNA into static My lips start to widen, the flesh torn apart, exposing my teeth turned to fangs made of data My fate has been sealed, no different to fauna who found themselves trapped in a world full of vultures The skin between nails rip off for the chips and the heartbeat to motors I'm put into motion This forest of shifters turned me to a walker Turned me to a vulture With blood on the motherboard And all that I hunger for Is something else to take my place 'Cuz I'm filthy, dirty, good for nothing I'm filthy, dirty, good for nothing I'm filthy, dirty, good for nothing You turned me to none but a pale imitation A mockery of nature, of failed inspiration I'm a freak I'm an insult to living things I'm an insult to living things I'm an insult to living things I'm an insult to living things I'm an insult to living things I'm an insult to living things I am smarter than everything I am smarter than everything I am smarter than everything I am smarter than everything I am smarter than everything I am smarter than everything
