Lyrics
Outside The Machine
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm tired, I'm cold.
untied and feeling old.
you're all lit up like catherine wheels.
you're all lit up, but you're not real.
I don't need you,
not like I used to do.
I don't need you,
not like I did.
hate confusion, need advice.
love illusion, need advice.
what does it mean to be a part of you?
how does it feel inside the heart of you?
I don't need you,
not like I used to do.
I don't need you,
not like I did.
outside the machine,
left alone with my dreams.
outside the machine,
all lit up, somebody screams.
what does it mean to be a part of you?
tried to get inside the very heart of you.
