The Machine Stops - Mindmaze

She sits alone amid a radiant room

Melodious and tranquil, she’s let remoteness bloom

All she will envision the machine has done

She stares into the image she knows as her son

What’s there to seek?

What’s there to know?

The machine will show us the answers

How can we break down this soulless contradiction?

How can we feel what can’t be felt through emotion?

He longs to walk into the earth’s crisp air

Breaking down the boundaries without a care

All he will envision is to escape the machine

He states into the stars, freedom he as seen

Nothing is real, I have to go

The machine will be our destruction

How can we break down this soulless contradiction?

How can we feel what can’t be felt through the emotion?

It’s clear, we’re through

Behind your touch is truth

It’s clear to see we’ve lost our place

Stumbling through transition of a race

Reliant minds too advanced to see the light

Communication breakdown, a final disaster in sight yeah

And in the end we knew the way

Humanity rediscovered

How can we break down this soulless contradiction?

How can we feel what can’t be felt through emotion?

How can we break down this soulless contradiction?

How can we feel what can’t be felt through emotion?

It’s clear we’re through

Behind our touched holds truth
