SILOS

Come to life I remember this Just like paradise (and cyanide) Take a bite I've tasted all your sin You've lost your appetite (for sacrifice) How can we terminate this parasite If you keep diggin' up the host? Let me let you go We're dead inside and dead below Be my holy ghost The only one who never knows The way you haunt me Threw it away at the bitter end You left a hole where a heart had been Let me go and put it back to where it goes In silos In silos Burn, bury it, seal it away (and forget it) We cannot kill this monster we've made (so forget it) Purge all of this, let it decay (re-bury me) Can't resurrect what can't be saved Let me let you go We're dead inside and dead below Be my holy ghost The only one who never knows The way you haunt me Threw it away at the bitter end You left a hole where a heart had been Let me go and put it back to where it goes In silos At the cost of a century Our inventors birthed automatons of brass and steam Now we huddle in towering silos, clutching for survival As our mechanical offspring roam the earth, merciless and free We can play pretend But we're both lyin' You know we can love again But we're both hidin' You know, we're the walkin' dead And we're both dyin' To know how this ends While we're hidin' in our own silos Let me let you go We're dead inside and dead below Be my holy ghost The only one who never knows The way you haunt me Threw it away at the bitter end You left a hole where a heart had been Let me go, we'll put it back to where it goes In silos In silos
