Believe 06:13
"Some of these men have been with us for 10 years and more." "But this decision wasn't reached over night. We have finally decided to put in the new labor saving machinery. Costs will be lower and production greater." "High speed machinery goes in, but men like you and me go out." I needed to believe in something I need you to believe in something I needed to believe something I need you to believe in something I needed to believe I need you to believe I needed to feel something I need you to feel something I needed to feel something I need you to feel something Can you feel me in between?

Spirit 04:30
If you believe I want you to see 'want you to see this change this change in me And if I believe Shambled in shatters Ripped in tendons I'll resign Resign in relief And if they believe Exhaust to the end End to futile They will fight Will fight in tears And if we believe Revolt against this weight Break down and bare pain Burn down Burn down this machine O' children of faith The meager of pennies Oil this machine O' child of welfare Worthless and empty Fucked by this system Revolution Stand against this machine Labor and toil A futile struggle Our heartbeat The clang of iron Our blood Thick with oil Prisoned by this system And this machine Sparked the engine Ignited prosperity Engorged Now a glutton of pain And this machine Choking its mother Consuming its children It will It'll reign domain And this machine Will yet to cease Will ever grow beyond It'll fear Fear our raucous spirit Built from our very hands White knuckled and shattered fingers Cast in flame and iron The evening drowned in wine This is our spirit This is our burden A burden we pass to you Stunted and damaged We did it for your future This is our spirit O' children of faith The meager of pennies Oil this machine O' child of welfare Worthless and empty Fucked by this system Revolution Stand against this machine Labor and toil A futile struggle Our heartbeat The clang of iron Our blood Thick with oil Prisoned by this system

about

"Believe" is a story about a machine that we created together. This machine originally helped us, created prosperity, and gave us hope for a brighter future. But, our hope dwindled as the machine became larger, choking it's own mother and consuming it's own children.

I have also moved to an entirely different country. I wonder if that counts as "going far".
