Aren't you sick of the con? Not quite?
They're expecting so little, can't feel the miracle
There's zombies licking your window for black body radiation, oh
Love breaks the machine, everything's half apart, what can it mean?
Oh, how can I trust my fractious heart knowing I have the enemy gene?
Oh, love breaks the machine, everything's half a dream, how can it be?
Everything's born in shame, it's not just me, part of it's duality
How can we ever evolve when our gods are so primitive?
They destroy the film
They want to disable my system, looking for traces of a clean hit
If the end of the world has ever happened, this must begin
I've grown too strong, that's what they said, to keep my animal spirit
It empties me, now I'm vacant
Love breaks the machine, everything's half apart, what can it mean?
How can I trust my fractious heart knowing I have the enemy gene?
Oh, love breaks the machine, everything's half a dream, how can it be?
Everything's born in shame, it's not just me, part of it's duality
I know that we'll never survive this little victory
Love breaks the machine, everything's half apart, what can it mean?
How can I trust my fractious heart knowing I have the enemy gene?
Oh, love breaks the machine, everything's half a dream, how can it be?
Everything's born in shame, it's not just me, part of it's duality
How can we ever evolve when our gods are so primitive?
They destroy our hope for peace, hope for love, oh
