Intro

Verse

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

Instrumental

Verse

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

Verse

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

Bridge

Hiding, backwards inside of me

I feel so unafraid

Annie, hold a little tighter

I might just slip away
