Intro:
Welcome to the machine.
Verse 1:
Souls of hate, wearing down.
Everyone knows why they wear the crown.
Dreams of the past, moving fast.
They're coming true, but it just won't last.
Running blank, before it ruptures.
My heart exposed to acupuncture.
The more you say, the more you do.
When it all comes down.
Chorus 1:
Here we go, welcome to the machine.
It's taken me all this time to find out what I need.
Here we go, welcome to the machine.
It's taken me all this time to find out if I bleed.
Verse 2:
Broken fate, tearing down.
No one knows why we have drowned.
Living's changes, soul's in chains.
Battered love is just too strange.
Running blank, before it ruptures.
My heart exposed to acupuncture.
Do you say, do you do.
When it all comes down.
Chorus 1
Verse 3:
Love & hate, get in a room.
Cuts me right back down inside.
Sleep in day, fight at night.
When you're, you're not all right.
Our past is gone, so is the future.
It's hard to believe that I'm a creature.
Do you say, do you do.
When it all comes down.
Chorus 1
Chorus 2:
Here we go, welcome to the machine.
I listen to all this, all this crying!
