Mount Fabric

Trapped Messenger

Another tick on another list
Things to get done
Things to become
People to meet
Empires to run
Enemies to defeat
To what end?

I got my implant
Bulletproof glass to keep my mindstate here in this factory
I got my colourful magazines, give me fast relief
Give me prozac please, give me anything

So it's no wonder you forget that which you have
Shut your eyes for a second
Is this the life you want?
Always on the run

I got my implant
Bulletproof glass to keep my mind asleep in this factory
I got my colourful magazines, give me fast relief
Give me prozac please, give me anything

I got my implant
I got my bulletproof glass
