2. The Machine's Lament - DJ Goldrust

There Is A Light That Never Goes Out - The Smiths (cover)

Everytime I try

A thunderous opener that sets the tone for the album’s rebellious spirit. Power chords and provocative lyrics expose surveillance, deception, and the paranoia of modern life. A sonic manifesto for truth-seekers.

Konspiracy

Got me dwelling in the Hollow, such an empty pill to swallow down. Got me starting at this bottle, wreckage of my heart in lost and found...

Hollow

fatal attraction

The clock above her station blinks
Half-past dawn in frozen pink
She ties her braid with silver thread
and hums the jingle in her head

The air smells faintly sweet and sharp
of plastic snow and solder sparks
She paints a smile on someone's joy
then checks the time, then paints a toy

There's glitter dust on every breath
and laughter printed on the box
The barcode hums like winter hymns
for places she will never walk

Her friend folds ribbons from the scraps
a red one tied around her wrist
She says, 
"Tonight we'll hang them high
a paper moon, 
our Christmas list."

Spin the wheel
little saint of steel
haloed in heat 
and factory peel
Dreams on the floor
lights overhead
The elves don't sleep
they build instead

In dreams she walks through aisles of snow
her shoes leave prints that start to glow
Each toy she made now calls her name
in tiny voices soft with blame

"Mama
you built us one by one
now rest
your shift is never done"

The manager posts a Christmas quote
on a board of rules and warnings bold
She smiles, then wipes the gold paint dry
her hands now shimmer, red and cold

Outside the trucks hum minor chords
the night is lit by plastic stars
She whispers to the empty dark
"We made your joy - whoever you are"

Spin the wheel
little saint of steel
haloed in heat
and factory peel
Dreams on the floor
lights overhead
The elves don't sleep
they build instead

The elves don't sleep
but they still believe

The Elves Don't Sleep

Celestial Day
