“Broken Machine”
 
Broken Machine,
These revelations I call mine,
And the world is just a bittersweet wine.
 
We swallow the pills but make the same cuts again,
Hollow out our eyes to search for more pain,
But as we curse the Name of God again,
We realize that death is all that’s left to gain.
 
Well; because of unbelief they were broken off,
And thou standest by faith.
Be not highminded,
But fear. [Romans 11:20]
 
The machine is broken,
Our pill just another token,
To ride the ferry across the Styx,
Just another river we can’t fix.
