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
