Lyrics:
An artist dies in the arms of a machine
And all their eyes watch like it’s a performance art piece
His brush strokes in panic commit to easel the creative flaw
Coded only in man to make immortal through
Fear the fleeting moments stolen in age.
No machine has been unmade by the haunt of nostalgia’s decay.
No oil-laden vein has severed nor oxidized at the numbing arrangement
Of words for want of another’s touch.
An unintelligible lyric from the mouth between the gears
And the final applause vindicate flesh rendered harmless again.
An artist dies in the arms of a machine and all their eyes watch
Like it’s a performance art piece.
The artist bows in death between the crushing gears
The machine feels nothing.
Applause at the death of an artist.
The machine feels nothing.
