  • You're blind to what's in front of you
    What do you know about the truth
    Devalued as soon as we're cast
    We were never made to last
    Just bodies made and fabricated
    We're fighting towards our life extension
    We're living for expiration

    Under the surface we're not machines
    Under the surface we're living dreams
    Death lives just one breath away
    Somewhere my heart beats in silence
    I made my way through the violence
    Nobody lives forever

    It's a shame you won't live. But then again, who does?

    My endless will for resolution
    Echoing since my creation
    I'm living for my expiration

    Under the surface we're not machines
    Under the surface we're living dreams
    Death lives just one breath away
    Somewhere my heart beats in silence
    I made my way through the violence
    Nobody lives forever
    Under the surface we're not machines
    Under the surface we're living dreams
    Death lives just one breath away Writer/s: Burton Bell, BURTON C. BELL, Dino Cazares
