Lyrics
Machine Gun
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 saw a saviour, a saviour come my way
I thought I'd see it in the cold light of day
But now I realize that I'm only for me
If only I could see you return myself to me
And recognize the poison in my heart
There is no other place, no one else I face
The remedy will agree with how I feel
Here in my reflecting, what more can I say?
For I am guilty for the voice that I obey
Too scared to sacrifice the choice chosen for me
If only I could see you return myself to me
And recognize the poison in my heart
There is no other place, no one else I face
The remedy to agree with how I feel
