Story behind the song

sometimes the only thing I feel successful at - is shutting other people out. board up the windows, close the gates, and turn out the lights. this song was frustrating to record until i realized that i was playing it way to low for me to possibly sing, so i capo'd higher and all was well (sort of)...

Lyrics

there are no peepholes so please don't try to look in 
and i wouldn't count on an end to where the surface begins. 

there are no cracks so don't hope for a leak 
or mini fractures that make the structure weak 

i've manufactured this through time and solitude 
i engineered an ugliness of unbelievable magnitude. 

this is my factory, it pollutes quite heavily 
darkens any sky, no wonder no one passes by. 
from stacks reached in the air comes nothing that's clear 
and the gears behind the walls show no signs of slowing at all. 

there are no angles to gain the upperhand 
or any descriptions to help you understand 

there is no lock to a wall that has no door 
or reason to find what you're hoping for 

i manufactured this through time and solitude 
i engineered an ugliness of unbelievable magnitude. 

this is my factory, it pollutes quite heavily 
darkens any sky, no wonder no one passes by

from stacks reached in the air comes nothing that's clear 
and the gears behind the walls show no signs of slowing at all. 

i'll run this factory into the ground. 
(yea) i'll run this factory even when i'm the last one around.
