Persona Songtext
von Machinae Supremacy

Underneath the crushing weight of the world
Is someone searching for a purpose
Play the part that you′ve been dealt by the herd
Mouth and nose beneath the surface

For all the times you held your tongue and rehearsed (things you would say)
If ever brave enough to stand in their way
And all with lies we make our beds and sleep (tucked away)
Out of sight and out of mind we remain

Now you start to paint a picture
Of the world just out of view
Bring it with you as you dream
Maybe you can wake up too

Do you believe in the world they made for you?
Do you belong or do you try to
Erase yourself just to pass as one of them?
A different day, today, and that was then


Walk the streets with newfound eyes and see
Things from a whole new perspective
Maybe not what you believed you'd be
But something so much more addictive

Put on your new face and run, run, run (through the night)
And take on those who rape and kill and steal
And though the war path hardly knows your name (all the same)
The taste of blood between your teeth feels real

Now you start to paint a picture
Of the world just out of view
Bring it with you as you dream
Maybe you can wake up too

Do you believe in the world they made for you?
Do you belong or do you try to
Erase yourself just to pass as one of them?
A different day, today, and that was then

You find it easier to play along
But you are wrong
And that is why you need those emo songs

Why don′t you get that you have killed yourself?
You're in Hell
And it is your own fault, for once, as well


Now you start to paint a picture
Of the world just out of view
Bring it with you as you dream
Maybe you can wake up too

Do you believe in the world they made for you?
Do you belong or do you try to
Erase yourself just to pass as one of them?
A different day, today, and that was then

Do you believe in the world they made for you?
Do you belong or do you try to
Erase yourself just to pass as one of them?
A different day, today, and that was then
