Machina II Lyrics

midnight people
rushing for a downtown train
watching and wasting away

their hearts beat free
cool frequency
and i don't know what it is

i'm gonna run the slow dawn
squeaking sigh, oh so faint
i'm gonna run the slow dawn awake

it's blessed undone
the songbirds are wrong
and i'm not sure what it is
but i'm sure that i can give
awake the slow dawn

slow dawn moves by my side
teach your silent sleep
slow dawn

the midnight people
washing down here, wasting way
they're gonna run the slow dawn awake
the slow dawn awake
the slow dawn awake
the slow dawn awake

Vanity

You can hear the baby bones
Crack beneath our wheels
Tears of avalon
Streak silent down her shield
High crimes and misdemeanors
Fortunate attacks will leave you standing
Nameless while she's turning black

Vanity stands naked at my door
Vanity cries, why?

Elenoar, you've lost me
In a haze of wine and cocaine

Gone out and cost me
Everything I blame
Broadcast in tv detail
To call our own stories
As I try to recapture
Our best in former glories

Vanity stands naked at my door
Vanity cries, why?
Vanity wants everything and more
Vanity must die

She swears she'll turn around
Turn around for good
she swears she'll turn around
Turn around for sure
You know you'll run around
Run around for her
You know you want to know
So you'll

Ease on that dirt road
You've still a ways to go
Soak in sights and city lights
While you still can borrow
Cursed fall will find you
And bring a memory
The ghost of her surrender
With the kiss of anarchy

She's naked at my door
Vanity cries, why?
Vanity wants everything and more
Vanity must die
Die

Saturnine

[ok]

to the ages i am sleeping
to creatures i am scarred
bloody simple features
everyone chooses sides

we are inside
we are inside now
we are inside
we are inside
saturnine

how i'd love to waste your time
saturnine, saturnine

goodbye all you widows
tearstained underneath
blessed to the many
who are seeking some relief

saturnine, how i'd love to waste your time
saturnine, saturnine
saturnine, you are waiting on a sign

camera take this picture
wreckage is outside
we're hereby forgotten
we are losing mind

we are inside
we are inside now
we are inside
we are inside
you've always cried
cause you'll never find

Glass' Theme (Alternate)

Shattering fast
I'm glass, I'm glass
I'm shattering, shattering
Glass glass glass
I'm shattering fast
I'm glass I'm glass

Got a lot of tears
In a blood-stained jar
Been a real long time
Since I walk the fine line

You set up the walls
You set up the walls
Hold all my calls
I'll be by the pool

Won't you please
Talk to me
Won't you love
What I love

All alone
In my soul
I betrayed
My rock and roll (x5)

Shattering fast
I'm glass, I'm glass
I'm shattering, shattering
Glass glass glass

You set up the walls
Hold all my calls
I'll be by the pool
Playing with my guns
And there's nowhere to run
I'm the one you love now
Staying after school
Breaking all the rules

Shattering fast
Shattering fast
I'm shattering glass
Shattering fast, oh

Lucky 13

The same blood
I suppose
Breaking jars
I'll know because
'Cause I brought it up, son

And I know that you're mesmerized
You had a vision, made these laws
And sanitized, are we above his aisles
I miss him so

You are so f**ked
It has begun
Revolution crawled
All over you
Is this me?

You light up this sky
Excrete conscious scum
Your lovely face
Will never be claimed thrice

It was so unlikely doom
Upon my wrists I bear the cross
My losses mount as I climb
Across the home
Of my own soul

I'll claim the prize
I don't exist
I am divine
A ghost with eyes

Speed Kills

Speed kills, but beauty lives forever
Speed thrills, but beauty knows your name
I fell ill inside eternal winter
Winter
And stood still beside eternal flame

And when I ride
With you tonight
We can move
At the speed of light
With all I'd asked
And all I'd pray
The last rose of summer would stay

First time that I ever saw you
Crashing hard thru days of pain
You were one of god's children
Left to cry out in the rain
Waiting to be saved again

Cause when I ride
With you tonight
We can move
At the speed of light
And all I'd ask
And all I pray
The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer is gone
Long gone, gone
The last rose of summer is gone

When I ride
With you tonight
We can move
At the speed of light
Forever young
Forever blind
Into the stars
We rock tonight

Last rose of summer is gone
The last rose of summer is gone (X3)
The last rose of summer (X2)
The last rose of summer is gone

If There Is A God (Piano)

If there is a God
I know He likes to rock
He likes his loud guitars
And His spiders from mars

And if there is a God
I know she's watching me
She says she likes what she sees
But there's trouble on the breeze

Who are you this time?
Are you one of us, flying blind?
Cause I'm down here throwing stones
While you're so far from home

And if there is a God
I know they're on tv
The spies with bedroom eyes
That cower in our skies

Who are you this time?
Are you one of us, flying blind?
Cause I'm down here throwing stones
While you're so far from home

Try, Try, Try

Pop tart, what's the matter?
Did you lose what you're after?
For your tears, I'm still singing
For your fears, I am ringing
From Houston on a downer buzz
Like you said, it's just because

You'll donate your long lost kisses
Wished on the eve of forgotten blessings
Start your way for some new impression

Try to hold on
For this heart, a little bit stronger
Try to hold on
To this love alone
Try to hold on
For this heart's never been broken
So try to hold on
Try to hold on

Pop tart, did you flatter?
When they spoke of my disasters
At thirteen I lost my compass
But I'm sure it's all accomplished
As desires on my ghost trains
Like you said, when it rains

It pours down the back of the bitter son
Desperate for love and loves everyone
In my mother's arms no simple harm

Conspires to hold on
For this heart, a little bit closer
Try to hold on
To this love alone
Try to hold on
And we know if we go under
We just can't let go
No, no

Pop tart, will it matter?
If I lose and just shatter
Will you cry, and keep crying
Will I die and keep dying
In Tokyo, with sad tragic blues
Like you said it's how you use

'Cause someday we'll know if this even matters
Our rings and maze and simplicity
When can we laugh and take all the credit

And know we'll go free
With our hearts a little bit stronger
Try to hold on
For this love alone
Try to hold on
For this heart's a little bit frightened
Just try to hold on
Just try to hold on
Just try

Heavy Metal Machine (Ver. 1)

If I were alive
If I were real
Would you survive
What would you feel, now

Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine

If I were dead
Would my records sell
Could you ever tell
Or is it just as well

Heavy metal, heavy metal machine
Heavy metal, heavy metal machine

Could you long to love
Could you want to see
Coming down below
Coming down for me

Will you write my songs
Will you shake the hands
Could you understand
It's not yours to keep

Heavy metal, heavy metal machine (x12)
Heavy metal

Glass' Theme

Shattering fast
I'm glass, I'm glass
I'm shattering fast
I'm glass, I'm glass
I'm shattering, shattering
Glass, glass, glass
I'm shattering fast
I'm glass, I'm glass

I've got a lot of tears
In a blood-stained jar
It's been a real long time
Since I walked the fine line

You put up the walls
You put up the walls
I'll hold all my calls
I'll be by the pool

Won't you please
Worship me
Won't you love
What I adore

All alone
In my soul
I betrayed
Rock and roll (x5)

Everybody knows I'm last, I'm last
And everybody knows I'm fast, I'm fast
I'm shattering, shattering
Glass, glass, glass
I'm shattering fast
I'm glass, I'm glass

You put up the walls
I'll hold my calls
I'll be by the pool
Playing with my guns
'Cause there's nowhere to run
'Cause I'm the one you love now

Staying after school
Breaking all the rules

Shattering fast
Shattering glass
Shattering glass
I'm shattering glass

Dross

You say I'm beautiful
Well I can't help it
You say I'm empty
We all know I'm full of s**t

Get on, get on
You've lost control
Get out, get up
You're growing old
Can anyone, anyone be true
Does anyone, anyone wanna be you

You say I'm tragic
I say it's magic, kid
You say I'm lucky
We all know it's in the cards

Get on, get on
You've lost control
Get out, get up
You're growing old
Can anyone, anyone be true
Does anyone, anyone wanna be you
Didn't wanna be you

Floating
Knocked down, sky high, floating
Knocked down, sky high, true
Does anyone wanna be you
Can anyone, anyone be true
Does anyone, anyone wanna be you

Real Love

Fall into the century on a supersonic cross
Blessed she in aching silence, eternal loss
Calling out I won't surrender a locket of her hair
Sympathize her pious pleasures, go down the stairs
Into the dark again
To feel alive again, and wait for

Real love
Or is it me you're after
Is it time
Cause it's now or never
Real love
Real love forever
Real love

Born of the fallen chain
Into a world sustained with sorrow

Real love
A real touch we speak in
Is it lies
Or is it what we're seekin'
Real love

In the eyes, behold and you'll find
The 21st century
Detonate her will and her widowed speech
Buried in the backyard shadow
The rusty coffee tin
That held her mother's first kiss
In a nameless dream
Fall down the stairs again
To feel alive again, it's tomorrow

Real love
Or is it me you're after
Is it time
Cause it's now or never
Real love
Real love forever
Is it love
Or just yours to treasure
Real love (x3)

We never listen
Real love will listen
and tell of a fortune
Real love is riches
Scratch through the changes
Real love is nameless
So tired and hopeless

Real love is painless
Nobody mentions
We ever move to collect
The solar questions
Demon scorn should not relax
The laws of gravity

Real love

Go

Our slowest night
Our slowest dance
You sway across the room as in a dream
An empty house with empty rooms
I loved you so
But now you're going

Go, and leave if you must know
And go, I never wanted you to know
Go

We ran the way
Or so we thought
Now I know you were torn too
Go
To know love
To show love
And go
To give love
To feel loved
And go

I fell asleep
When I step upon the shore
I kiss my sand and cruise
Deform
You move to speak
No words could reach me
At one, once knew

Go, love, and learn by your desire
And know love
You're the only reason why

I'm torn to go
To know love
To show love
Go
To give love
To feel loved
Go
To know love
To show love
Go

Let Me Give The World To You

Last chance to make believe in always and all it seems
Train wrecks hide underneath your umbrella
Set the frame destiny on this first name soliloquy
Tired symphonies play downward

Let me give the world to you my love
Let me give the world to you my love
Let me show what I'm thinking of
Let me give the world to you my love

So far (x3)

Lovers form dead excuse
And blur the lines with soul abuse
My lonesome lines just have no use around here

New skin may hold you in
But the old skin still turns us on
Flicker fades the nitrate dawn to where

Let me give the world to you my love
Let me give the world to you my love
Times are hard and we're last in line
Cause in my grief I'd forgotten what was mine

No I wouldn't change a thing
No I, no I, no
No I wouldn't change a thing about
The way you are
The distance here, the speed so far
So far(x3)

Let me give the world to you my love
Let me give the world to you my love
Let me give the world to you (x4)
Let me give the world to you my love

So far(x3)

Innosense

Innocence
Innocence finds you there
Innocence
Innocence doesn't care
Any way you choose
The sun, in the sun
I choose

Hold me now
I won't let go
Innocence
Innocence lets you go
Innocence
Innocence lets you down
Any way
Any way that you want

And you will be there
With the sun
And you say you don't care
Any way
Any way that you want
In the love
In the love, we're unsung
It's any way
Any way that you want
Hold it in
Innocence in your arms

Innocence
Innocence holds you there
Innocence
Innocence doesn't care
Innocence
Innocence lets you dream
Innocence

Home

We'll wander off throught the dead of night
'Cause wastelands of shattered souls
Warm by the firelight
I peer into the darkness alone

As the Indian summer of my remembrance
Settles on my bones
Cracked and weary, I asked for direction home

Home, let the word spill from my mouth
Love, love is everything I want
I'm one of many more to come
Love, love is everything I want

Crossroads outside of town
The heartbroken faces charred
The city lights so far and dull
Turnin' back, I know it's time

With an urgent wind upon my rolling heels
To carry me along
My face so ghast that I turn to ruins fast at home

Home, let the word spill from my mouth
Love, love is everything I want
I'm one of many more to come
Love, love is everything I want

We'll wander off throught the dead of night
Past terrors and broken homes
Wipe the sleep from below your eyes
Of riverbanks and catacombs
Sleeping to the bee and see
Always pick this life alone
Lay down before the law
Cry out, I know it's time
Love is everything I want (x4)

Blue Skies Bring Tears (Ver.1)

Long run the silent horses
Soft cry the shellshock houses
Wring dry the salty tears of sailors
And their lovers

Bring forth the silent movies
Kiss all the twilight crime
Bleach blonde the highwire groupies
Sucking up their time

Lungs crack the vapors anxious
Dead implicate your sources
Sit through their sunday speeches
Delivered out in thin air

Rain rusts the creaking masses
Wind blows their temples down
Blood fills the exit tunnels
Streaking out of town

It's about time
It's about drawing near
Blue skies bring tears (x3)

Unleash the armageddon
Draw down the hungry prayer
Kneeling for the final verdict
Judges draw you near

Let fly your model armies
Let fly the locust cry
Uncork the hidden forces
Amassing to a lie

And it's about time
It's about you here
Blue skies bring tears
Blue skies bring tears

I need time
To find your soul
To find your lie
Blue skies bring tears
Until I go blind

Shake loose the huddled masses
Spit on the urgent armies
Cracked tooth the fading roses
Frozen since your burn

Fire all your dead tree soldiers
Shoot down these skeletal bells
I don't know means to crisis
That doesn't go through hell

Blue skies bring tears (x3)

White Spider

Wander slow
And your kisses chase
What must I do
If only for your warm embrace
For all maintain
Must you conquer pain

And every little spider
That crawled up inside her
Was waiting for my phone call
And now I remind her
Of every single liar
Living for the killing stone

White spider
Where will you crawl
White spider

In his parts
Began to scan
I don't understand you
I am, I am
I know who I am
I'm sorry you have to
White spider

Gotta get away
To try to stay away
You've gotta fix your gaze
So you're not afraid
You've gotta bide your time
Before you want science
You've gotta play the part
Before you fall apart

You've gotta walk the land
Scream you're not black
You've gotta strip your skin
To let them tear at it
I'm gonna take a piece
For my own needs
I'm gonna swim to sweden
F**k the enemy
I'm gonna sharpen my teeth
Father out of me
I'm going all around
When their soul leaks out
Wander slow
White spider
How did you know, yes
If only which way to go
My white spider

'Cause now I'm reminded
Of every single fighter
That's waiting for just what
She brings
And every little spider
That crawled up inside her
Who's waiting for the phone to ring

My white spider
Will drain you off
My white spider
End it all

I may deserve
To make the scene
We are in belief
A laptop
Just a cop
I love your queen
I am the end
A showering hand
For I am painting
The end is near
I cannot pretend
Your tomb collapsing

The white spider
How will you crawl
My white spider
Let her know
White spider

In My Body

Hold silent
You were my violent snow
In my life
Just for a moment
And then the young die
So you can die

I was alive
I was alive

In my body
You'll never find me
You'll never pull me in
In my body
The lonely creatures
The lonely creatures
Scream

Junes of cast
Left hiding, their bone
Sleeps
Burned alive
Wasted sunsets
Hunted my tunnel light
Right through my clothes

In my body
You'll never find me
You'll never pull me in

I was alive
I was alive

In my body
You'll never find me
You'll never pull me in
In my body
The lonely creatures
The lonely creatures
Screan

In my body (x3) yeah
(x3)

If There Is A God

And if there is a God
I know he likes to rock
He likes his loud guitars
And his spiders from Mars

If there is a God
I know she's watching me
She says she likes what he sees
But there's trouble on the breeze

Who are you this time?
Are you one of us, flying blind?
'Cause I'm down here throwing stones
While you're so far from home

And if there is a God
You know they're on TV
They're the spies with bedroom eyes
That cower in our skies

Who are you this time?
Are you one of us, flying blind?
'Cause we're down here throwing stones
While you're so far from home

And if there is a God

Here's To The Atom Bomb

clung to the sweater from the day you were born
never knew better, that's what you swore
mother heard you cause the walls were thin
in saturnine, sweetness, and horatio fin

no boy could spell you out
in the grass at night
beneath the stars

you grew right past the streets where you were raised
sneakin' out early to a secret place
like a hole in the wall
like a hole in the wall

into the bed you hang your sling
to watch your man as he seeks relief
you cut out his heart and watch him die
so we can know you, and that you're alive
as the hole in the wall
you are the hole in the wall

no one can know your song
in kisses and noise
now you belong to them all

awake to the dawn and scratch your eyes
light the prayer candles that you remind to
send you a boy that you could waste
a little piece of heaven to set you straight
through the hole in the wall
you are the hole in the wall

no one could tell you why
the tape's full of hiss
and sons that cry

to the night of the dead and the wishing ghost
beating on you to drain morose
through the hole in the wall
we are the holes in the wall
we are the
