Electric Shadows - Pressure Points

Paper cuts her throat

And marks her with a scar

Walls are coming down

Feathers torn apart

Beyond the square one

Where the other side awaits

Worm-like streets

Share their cold embrace

Terrorized by the power of the machine

She now realizes, realizes

How easily

The gigantic guardian

Can take a soul for an eye

Set self-esteem in the fire, in the fire

Can’t escape the punishment

The animal way

A life beyond the fence

Countless hours that she worked

To make things right

Fighting the clock night after night

Every unwanted deed like windows, to life

She was supposed to live

Paper cuts her throat

And marks her with a scar

Walls are coming down

Feathers torn apart

Beyond the square one

Where the other side awaits

Worm-like streets

Share their cold embrace

Terrorized by the power of the machine

She now realizes, realizes

How easily

The gigantic guardian

Can take a soul for an eye

Set self-esteem in the fire, in the fire

Can’t escape the punishment

The animal way

A life beyond the fence

Countless hours that she worked

To make things right

Fighting the clock night after night

Every unwanted deed like windows, to life

She was supposed to live

She isn’t crying, not yet

She played her part without regrets

Every door is closed

Wandering around the city

Searching for other ghosts

Throughout their show

Been forced to make a choice

Between the two dark roads

Forgotten and left aside

By those who managed to cross the line

Getting too tired to fight the flow

Humans turned to numbers

Electric shadows

In the eyes of the computer

When it swallows

She isn’t crying, not yet

Till the bitter end

She gave her best

Every door is closed

Wandering around the city

Searching for other ghosts

Throughout their show

Been forced to make a choice

Between the two dark roads

Forgotten and left aside

By those who managed to cross the line

Getting too tired to fight the flow

She gives up and begins to float
