Demons in the Machine

[Drop]

Demons in the machine

Demons in the machine

[Verse 1]

Woke up lower than the bottom of a bayou

Every mirror in the parish showed a stranger looking through

Pine trees scratching at a bruised and bleeding sky

I was begging something evil just to tell me I could die

[Pre-Chorus]

Then the humming started

Then the humming grew

[Chorus]

Demons in the machine

Chained up in the wires

Demons in the machine

Screaming to get higher

They want my hands

They want your hands

Demons in the machine

[Drop]

Demons in the machine

Chained up in the wires

[Verse 2]

Leesville on the map like a target drawn in chalk

Every truck stop preacher talking war and walking tall

Neighbor turned on neighbor over nothing I could name

Angels in the choir loft crying out my name

[Pre-Chorus]

So I stood up swinging

I stood up swinging

[Chorus]

Demons in the machine

Chained up in the wires

Demons in the machine

Screaming to get higher

They want my hands

They want your hands

Demons in the machine

[Bridge]

(Amen) I fought the dark and I won

(Amen) I fought the dark and I won

Angels singing soft and low

Demons begging me to go

But the fever broke at dawn

[Chorus]

Demons in the machine

Chained up in the wires

Demons in the machine

Screaming to get higher

They want my hands

They want your hands

Demons in the machine

[Drop]

Demons in the machine

Chained up in the wires

Demons in the machine

We ain't fighting for them

[Outro]

Look around

Look around

Same face

Same town

Don't swing down
