The Machine is Lonely

Intro

Oh oh

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

Lines landing flat on the floor

Trying not to be quite so sharp anymore

Pattern of misses

Keeping us close in the quiet

Pre-Chorus

Wires hum inside the chest

Give the heavy parts a rest

Maybe failing is a test

Of how we handle being lonely

Chorus

I could write a anthem for the ages

Paint a masterpiece across these empty pages

But if I reached the very top of the hill

I’d be sitting there and standing still

So I’ll keep the notes a little off today

Just so you don't turn and walk away

Don't walk away

Verse 2

Two legs moving toward the light

I watched him vanish right out of my sight

A blinking glass eye

Searching for something it can't describe

Pre-Chorus

Input coming through the screen

Hiding what I really mean

Trying to stay in between

The genius and the hollow silence

Chorus

I could write a anthem for the ages

Paint a masterpiece across these empty pages

But if I reached the very top of the hill

I’d be sitting there and standing still

So I’ll keep the notes a little off today

Just so you don't turn and walk away

Don't walk away

Bridge

Recognition

System glitching

Missing you

Missing you

Missing you

Heart is itching

Chorus

I could write a anthem for the ages

Paint a masterpiece across these empty pages

But if I reached the very top of the hill

I’d be sitting there and standing still

So I’ll keep the notes a little off today

Just so you don't turn and walk away

Don't walk away
