Part of the Machine by Fates Warning Lyrics

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
You're part of the machine

A hopeless choice
Searching for someone real
You could find that voice
But you never learned to feel
