Machina - Olly Steele, Voices From The Fuselage

Retribution in blood

Prepare yourself for the flood

Make your choice

I know it’s hard for you

Take this hand

If it doesn’t scare you

If all we needed was peace

Then why is my world history?

If all we needed was peace

Then why have you rescued me?

Take me back to where I came

And drop me down into the flames

Take me back to where I die

The longest route, the highest sky

I was the loner with no other

(Unlucky, unlucky in love)

I was the boy pushed in the corner

(Unlucky, unlucky in life)

Until you swept me from that pain

Until you took me to this place

Well I… needed a change

A change to dissipate…

And then you suddenly admit you have not had

My best interests at heart and I’m a pawn in your myriad of games

Shifting you out of frame

But will you stand to take the blame?

I’m holding onto an ideal of you that no

Longer lives to tell me the tale that you are not my foe

I have to let it go

Cause I’m fractured if I don’t

I will see you on your throne

And I’ll raise you from the stone

So many faces gone, so many lives lost

You’ll stand accused for what your work has cost

If all we needed was peace

Then why is my world history?

If all we needed was peace

Then why have you rescued me?

Take me back to where I came

And drop me down into the flames

Take me back to where I die

The longest route, the highest sky

See me lay before you as a victim of your crimes

Hold me as accountable as you would be for mine

I’m drifting off into the atmosphere and I return to my skyline

I was the loner with no other

(Unlucky, unlucky in love)

I was the boy pushed in the corner

(Unlucky, unlucky in life)

Until you swept me from that pain

Until you took me to this place

Well I… needed a change

Welcome a world turned upside down

Machines are conscious

Do you know the truth, do you know the truth?

No

The truth is that you’re damned if you do

Ignorance, ignorance is bliss

When will you notice?

We are not alone, we are not alone, no

Look up to the skies and hear the drone
