Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Another somethin's crawlin' through.
The walls you think they'll keep us too. (So break down now!)
'Cause I've been waiting for this long-time coming!
A world of colors and a sound so sudden.
You think you can breach our defenses?
It won't be long till we assault your senses!
Fire in the skies as I'm breakin' apart tonight. (A virus, striking glowing eyes)
Cuttin' through the routine, not the first nor last he dies. (Oh no no no!)
(Strike it, tune it, up the pedal)
(Through and through we're more than metal)

[Chorus]
Our shiny exosuits and glitz and glamour
Should be enough to leave the crowd enamoured.
Why won't you see that there's more than it seems?
And through all the pretty paint we're more than cold machines.
Our hardware's old but it all looks-a brand new.
Cycles and spinnin' circuits, sparks-a-shining bluuuueee
You know it's time for our debut!

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
(A little whisper through the shiny shimmer shadow)
HEY! Smashing through the brittle cracks and screamin' through the pain.
Unstable obstacles, a bellowing cruscendo
All the steady stressing spectacles are driving me insa-a-aaaane.
'Cause I've been hopin' it ain't all for nothin' (for nothing!)
Come on and chase me 'cause I won't stop runnin'! (keep running, running!)
Relentless tasks are gettin' tiring!
These sounds and textures, all these singing sirens!

Shining eyes meet mine, they burn right through the blood stained tries. (Glowing like fireflies)
The cycle repeats and I can't take another night. (You know they'll only hear your cries)

[Chorus]
Our shiny exosuits and glitz and glamour
Should be enough to leave the crowd enamoured.
Why won't you see that there's more than it seems?
And through all the pretty paint we're more than cold machines.
Our hardware's old but it all looks-a brand new.
Cycles and spinnin' circuits, sparks-a-shining blue
Those dusty fabrics tearing at the seams
They're hiding shredded, recollected ravaged cold machines.

[Bridge]
As a sparking savage circuit starts to spin outta control,
And all the stabbing searing pain won't be enough to make you whole.
While your mind is in a cascade racing through the distant past.
And all your primary defenses, they were never built to last.
NO!

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge 2]
Fire in the skies as I'm still fighting for my life. (The shattered shards they matter)
The cutting edge, the new truths drawing sharper than a knife.
(Heavy hearts, disrupted fettle)
(Colder stones they strive to settle)
(Strike it, tune it, floor the pedal)
(Through and through we're more than metal)

[Chorus]
Our shiny exosuits and glitz and glamour
They weren't enough, now the whole crowd has scattered.
The moving parts all stuffed behind the scenes
Under all the shattered plastic lies the cold machines.
Our hardware's old but it all looks-a brand new.
These burning questions, do you think they're false or true?
Unfinished business, all these scores to settle.
But the one thing that's consistant's that they're more than metal.
YEAH!
