Lyrics
Your blades are sharpened with precision
Flashing your favorite point of view
I know you're waiting in the distance
Just like you always do, just like you always do
Already pulling me in
Already under my skin
And I know exactly how this ends, I
Let you cut me open just to watch me bleed
Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be
Don't know why I'm hoping for what I won't receive
Falling for the promise of the emptiness machine
The emptiness machine
Going around like a revolver
It's been decided how we lose
'Cause there's a fire under the altar
I keep on lying to, I keep on lying to
Already pulling me in
Already under my skin
And I know exactly how this ends, I
Let you cut me open just to watch me bleed
Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be
Don't know why I'm hoping for what I won't receive
Falling for the promise of the emptiness machine
I only wanted to be part of something
I only wanted to be part of, part of
I only wanted to be part of something
I only wanted to be part of, part of
I only wanted to be part of something
I only wanted to be part
I let you cut me open just to watch me bleed
Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be
Don't know why I'm hoping, so fucking naive
Falling for the promise of the emptiness machine
The emptiness machine
I only wanted to be part of something
The emptiness machine, oh
I only wanted to be part of
The emptiness machine
