Lyrics

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Yeah

Verse 1

Stuck in a stalemate

Nothing moves nothing shifts

The suits in the chamber

Pass the buck and the gift

They promise a cure

Then they sell you the ache

I watched every promise

Bend and break

Pre-Chorus

Say it slow say it clear

Say it till it disappears

Chorus

Machiavellian

Every handshake is a knife

Machiavellian

Trading silence for a life

Whatever it takes

Whatever it costs

Count every soul

That the quiet has lost

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh

Yeah

Verse 2

Emerald formation

On the screen in the hall

A silent narration

For the ones who would fall

Contagion of persuasion

Spreading lies in the air

Proclamation on the wall

Like nobody's there

Pre-Chorus

Say it loud say it plain

Say it till it sounds the same

Chorus

Machiavellian

Every handshake is a knife

Machiavellian

Trading silence for a life

Whatever it takes

Whatever it costs

Count every soul

That the quiet has lost

Bridge

I ain't the cockroach

I ain't the wasp

I'm the sound in the stone

That the system forgot

Tone of a soul

In a paralyzed town

I keep singing

Till the walls come down

Chorus

Machiavellian

Every handshake is a knife

Machiavellian

Trading silence for a life

Whatever it takes

Whatever it costs

Count every soul

That the quiet has lost

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh

Yeah

Outro

Mm

Mm-hmm
