Blackwire Vow - The Machine

Smile Don't Don't look Don't look Don't look at the machine Don't look Don't look Don't look at the machine They put a halo on the hardware Taught the wolves to speak polite Sold the sermon through a touchscreen Called the slaughter oversight Everybody loves the future When the bodies stay off screen When the blood is in the back end And the front page stays clean Little hands inside the supply chain Little names inside the floor Little ghosts beneath the dashboard Begging someone, “No more!” But the keynote kept on shining And the crowd stood up to cheer Progress wearing perfect lighting With a gun behind its ear Look alive Look away Clap your hands It’s a brand-new day Don’t ask why Don’t ask who The machine is fed And it looks like you This is progress Smile for the lens This is progress It happens again Blood on the cables Hands in the screen This is progress Don’t look at the machine This is progress Dance while it feeds This is progress Down on your knees Clean little slogan Bright little dream This is progress Don’t look at the machine Don’t look Don’t look Don’t look at the machine Don’t look Don’t look Don’t look at the machine They made a cage and called it comfort Made a leash and called it care Made a grave with better branding Then pretended it was fair They can soften every murder If the font is warm enough They can package up the panic And call cruelty “tough love” There’s a child beneath the siren There’s a worker in the flame There’s a voice behind the warning There’s a face without a name But the feed keeps getting faster And the jokes keep rolling in Everybody gets distracted When the beat comes back again Look alive Look away Clap your hands It’s a brand-new day Don’t ask why Don’t ask who The machine is fed And it looks like you This is progress Smile for the lens This is progress It happens again Blood on the cables Hands in the screen This is progress Don’t look at the machine This is progress Dance while it feeds This is progress Down on your knees Clean little slogan Bright little dream This is progress Don’t look at the machine Everybody gets a number Everybody gets a place Everybody gets a filter Everybody gets a face Everybody gets a reason Everybody gets a lie Everybody gets a function Everybody gets to die Smile Smile You built the altar You fed the blade You blessed the violence Then called it safe You sold the poison You wrote the cure You broke the hunger Then charged us more You made the panic You made the need You made the wound And you made it bleed You made the cage You made the key You made the god Now it looks like me This is progress Smile for the lens This is progress It happens again Blood on the cables Hands in the screen This is progress Don’t look at the machine This is progress Dance while it feeds This is progress Down on your knees Clean little slogan Bright little dream This is progress Don’t look at the machine This is progress This is the age This is the mercy This is the cage This is the future This is the clean This is the prayer To the thing between Blood on the cables Hands in the screen This is progress Don’t look at the machine Don’t look Don’t look Don’t look at the machine Don’t look Don’t look Don’t look at the machine Blackwire Vow A project by Zer0signal & Kai Hoshira Created using both real and AI tools
