Lyrics

I
Beat my machine
It's a part of me
It's inside of me
I'm
Stuck in this dream
It's changing me
I am becoming

The me that you know
He had some second thoughts
He's covered with scabs
He is broken and sore
The me that you know
He doesn't come around much
That part of me
Isn't here anymore

All
Pain disappears
It's the nature of
Of my circuitry
Drowns
Out all I hear
No escape from this
My new consciousness

The me that you know
He used to have feelings
But the blood has stopped pumping
And he is left to decay
The me that you know
Is now made up of wires
And even when I'm right with you
I'm so far away

I can try to get away
But i've strapped myself in
I can try to scratch away
The sound in my ears
I can see it killing away
All of my bad parts
I don't want to listen
But it's all too clear

Hiding
Backwards inside of me
I feel
So unafraid
Annie
Hold a little tighter
I might
Just slip away

It won't give up
It wants me dead
Goddamn this noise
Inside my head. (x8)
