Automatic

I can't see, I can't hear
I can't sleep, I have sold all my senses
I'm a serial number, human machine
Doesn't matter if I don't understand what it means
They've taken everything
At least now I've got nothing to lose
I have tried everything
I'm tired, I got nothing to prove
My love is dripping, I can't seem to fill it over
My heart is running dry
I keep on guessing that I might be getting closer
That's when my horizons hide
I lost direction I can't seem to take back control
I am about to collide
Everything around me is dying or falling apart
Come watch it all go down with me
I can't reach, I can't swim
I can't think, I have rented my time
Working under conditions I hate
For people I despise, still I need the payroll
So I better keep wearing a smile
They've taken everything
At least now I've got nothing to lose
I have tried everything
I'm tired, I got nothing to prove
My love is dripping, I can't seem to fill it over
My heart is running dry
I keep on guessing that I might be getting closer
That's when my horizons hide
I lost direction I can't seem to take back control
I am about to collide
Everything around me is dying or falling apart
Come watch it all go down with me
I'm setting fire to this factory
I need you all with me
I'm setting fire to this factory
I want you all with me
I'm setting fire, we're setting fire
We're setting fire
