SILOS

Starset

Compositor: Joe Rickard / Dustin Bates / Sahaj Ticotin

Come to life
I remember this
Just like paradise
('Cause I'm alive)
Take a bite
The taste of all your sin
You've lost your appetite
(For sacrifice)

How can we terminate this parasite
If you keep digging up the host?

Let me let you go
Dead inside and dead below
Be my holy ghost
The only one who never knows
The way you haunt me
Threw it away at the bitter end
You left a hole where a heart had been
Let me go and put it back to where it goes
In silos
In silos

Burn, bury it, seal it away
(And forget it)
We cannot kill this monster we've made
(So forget it)
Burn, purge all of this, let it decay
(Repair me)
Can't resurrect what can't be saved

Let me let you go
Dead inside and dead below
Be my holy ghost
The only one who never knows
The way you haunt me
Threw it away at the bitter end
You left a hole where a heart had been
Let me go and put it back to where it goes
In silos

The cost of a century, our inventors birthed automatons of brass and steam
Now we huddle in towering silos
Clutching for survival as our mechanical offspring roam the earth. Mercilessly free

We can play pretend
But we're both lying
You know
We can love again
But we're both hiding
You know
We're the walking dead
And we're both dying
To know how this ends
While we're hiding
In our own silos

Let me let you go
Dead inside and dead below
Be my holy ghost
The only one who never knows
The way you haunt me
Threw it away at the bitter end
You left a hole where a heart had been
Let me go and put it back to where it goes
In silos
In silos
