Angels or Machines

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was sent to you to put things right And I wanted to help you to put things right So I blocked out the sun and neglected the moon And all of my angels were given to you, oh to you [Verse 2] So I bled what I could for you, sucked out the blood Tore off my flesh and the rest of what's good I broke every bone and drained all the marrow I splintered myself for all your tomorrows And I twisted my spine and I shattered my skull Now who is the angel and are we eternal? [Chorus] Oh, keep your love alive, keep the one you love alive Oh, I'm a believer and believe me we need your kind And I don't want to die, god please, I don't want to die! Breathe what you inspire, my bones will riot! Keep your love alive, keep the one you love alive Oh, I'm a believer and believe me we need your kind And I don't want to die, god please I don't want to die! Breathe what you inspire, my bones will riot! [Verse 3] But I cut off my nose to spite your embrace And I blinded myself so you could see grace I did all I could for you, gave you my life Withstood all the pain, took the blame for what good? Oh, what good? [Verse 4] And when all that was left was my heart and my tongue A few spare things and one black lung I looked under my skin for the last bits of human But all I could find was some dust and a tumor And I twisted my spine and I shattered my skull Now who is the angel and are we eternal? [Chorus] Oh, keep your love alive, keep the one you love alive Oh, I'm a believer and believe me we need your kind And I don't want to die, god please, I don't want to die! Breathe what you inspire, my bones will riot! Keep your love alive, keep the one you love alive Oh, I'm a believer and believe me we need your kind And I don't want to die, god please I don't want to die! Breathe what you inspire, my bones will riot! [Bridge] For running, for empire Forgive me for us For running, for empire Forgive me for us For running, for empire Forgive me for us Forgive me, oh [Chorus] Oh, keep your love alive, keep the one you love alive Oh, I'm a believer and believe me we need your kind And I don't want to die, god please, I don't want to die! Breathe what you inspire, my bones will riot! Keep your love alive, keep the one you love alive Yes, I'm a believer and believe me we need your kind And I don't want to die, god please I don't want to die! Breathe what you inspire, my bones will riot!
