Automaton

The mans soul’s

Receded into the beyond

Before his body’s gone

He's merely an automaton

It’s not an uncommon phenomenon

To live as an automaton

Something’s gone

And living drags on and on

[What] He’s missing,

[He] He denies

[Needs] What he needs is

Love, In his heart

Trust in faith, Not his mind

In his soul, Love will shine

Letting go, Learn to fly

A programmable logic controller, he is

Executes whatever his employer says

He can really only hope and pray that

His loop function will be terminated

Then what will he do?

Then what will he do?

Try to live his life like a human being

And live less like a human doing

He can really only hope and pray that

His courage to choose can break entrainment

[What] He’s missing,

[He] He denies

[Needs] What he needs is

Love, In his heart

Trust in faith, Not his mind

In his soul, Love will shine

Letting go, Learn to fly

Then what will he be?

Then who will he be?

Hello

My name is uh, Tom Maton

And I spend my time like anyone else, just trying to survive.

I wake up, watch the news, go to work, watch the news and go to bed.

The world’s going to shit, there’s nothing I can do about it.

I used to think that there must be more to life,

But then I woke up to reality.

What has always been deactivated

Has left him very cold and calculated

Power and money are needed to thrive

Habituated by instinctual drive

There’s something missing deep inside

Something that he hasn’t tried

But he’s afraid of the consequence of starving

The thought of the thing is so alarming

Afraid of consequence of dying

And the unknown abyss that’s underlying

Money only gave him hope

The mechanism let him cope

[What] He’s missing,

[He] He denies

[Needs] What he needs is

Love
