Track 3 from Fear Factory's second studio album, "Demanufacture", released in 1995 on Roadrunner Records.
Fear Factorys innovative approach towards, and hybridization of the genres of industrial metal, death metal and alternative metal has had a lasting impact on metal music ever since the release of their first album in 1992. Fear Factory is noteworthy among contemporaries for their lyrical focus on science fiction, with much of their music telling a single story spanning several concept albums.
(...and yes, an alternate version of this song appeared in the movie "Mortal Kombat".)
LYRICS
So withdrawn and feeling numb
Watching life come all undone
Growing fear, a human grace
A drowning mind in a dark
Embrace
My life
A disarray
And I
Fade away
I am down on my knees
Praying beyond belief
The silence deafens my ears
And welds the shackless
Onto my tears
Lost
All faith
Lost
All trust
Lost
All faith
Lost
All trust
So withdrawn and feeling numb
Watching life come all undone
My life
A disarray
And I
Fade away
I am down on my knees
Praying beyond belief
The silence deafens my ears
And welds the shackless
Onto my tears
I have lost all faith
I have lost all trust
A sordid mesh turning to
Dust
I am lost
I am so numb
I am so numb...
