Zero Signal (Colin Richardson Mix)

Fear Factory · Hatefiles [2003]

So withdrawn and feeling numb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So withdrawn and feeling numb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...
