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
