The Machine Within

Verse 1

How did I wind up here again?

Looking at a stranger in the glass.

Another scratch, another scar I cannot mend,

Waiting for the violent storm to pass.

I swallow down the bitter taste,

Of every promise that I made and threw away.

Pre-Chorus

You take me to the edge and watch me fall,

You like to tear me down until I'm nothing at all.

But I am waking up, I'm breaking through the skin,

I can't control the rage that's locked within!

Chorus

Get out of my head! Get out of my veins!

I'm ripping off the skin, I'm breaking these chains!

You think you know the monster I've become?

I'm numb to the pain, but I'm not done!

Push me under, pull me down,

But you will never see me drown!

Verse 2

It goes from good to bad so fast,

Another dynamic built to crash.

You love to watch the pieces break,

Feeding on the choices that I make.

But every single lie you tell,

Just drags us deeper down into this self-made hell!

Pre-Chorus

You take me to the edge and watch me fall,

You like to tear me down until I'm nothing at all.

But I am waking up, I'm breaking through the skin,

I can't control the rage that's locked within!

Chorus

Get out of my head! Get out of my veins!

I'm ripping off the skin, I'm breaking these chains!

You think you know the monster I've become?

I'm numb to the pain, but I'm not done!

Push me under, pull me down,

But you will never see me drown!

Bridge

Left alone again...

In a world so cold.

Left alone again...

Do what you're told!

No! I will survive!

I am machine, but I'm alive!

RIOT!

Chorus

Get out of my head! Get out of my veins!

I'm ripping off the skin, I'm breaking these chains!

You think you know the monster I've become?

I'm numb to the pain, but I'm not done!

Push me under, pull me down,

But you will never see me drown!

Outro

Never see me drown...

I hate everything about this.

Get out alive.
