SILOS Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Come to life
I remember this
Just like paradise (And cyanide)
Take a bite
The taste of all your sin
You've lost your appetite (For sacrifice)
[Pre-Chorus]
How can we terminate this parasite
If you keep digging up the host?
[Chorus]
Let me let you go
We're dead inside and dead below
Be my holy ghost
The only one who never knows
The way you haunt me
Threw it away at the bitter end
You left a holе where a heart had been
Lеt me go and put it back to where it goes
In silos
In silos
[Verse 2]
Burn, bury it, seal it away (And forget it)
We cannot kill this monster we've made (So forget it)
Purge all of this, let it decay (Re-bury me)
Can't resurrect what can't be saved
[Chorus]
Let me let you go
We're dead inside and dead below
Be my holy ghost
The only one who never knows
The way you haunt me
Threw it away at the bitter end
You left a hole where a heart had been
Let me go and put it back to where it goes
In silos
[Interlude]
At the cost of a century
Our inventors birthed automatons of brass and steam
Now we huddle in towering silos, clutching for survival
As our mechanical offspring roam the earth, merciless and free
[Bridge]
We can play pretend
But we're both lying
You know we can love again
But we're both hiding
You know we're the walking dead
And we're both dying
To know how this ends
While we're hiding in our own silos
[Chorus]
Let me let you go
We're dead inside and dead below
Be my holy ghost
The only one who never knows
The way you haunt me
Threw it away at the bitter end
You left a hole where a heart had been
Let me go, we'll put it back to where it goes
In silos
In silos
