The Emptiness Machine

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda] 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 [Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda] Already pullin' me in Already under my skin And I know exactly how this ends, I [Chorus: Mike Shinoda] 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 hopin' for what I won't receive Fallin' for the promise of the emptiness machine The emptiness machine [Verse 2: Emily Armstrong, Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda] Goin' around like a revolver It's been decided how we lose 'Cause there's a fire under the altar I keep on lyin' to, I keep on lyin' to [Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong] Already pullin' me in Already under my skin And I know exactly how this ends, I [Chorus: Emily Armstrong] 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 hopin' for what I won't receive Fallin' for the promise of the emptiness machine [Bridge: Mike Shinoda, Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda] I only wanted to be part of somethin' I only wanted to be part of, part of I only wanted to be part of somethin' I only wanted to be part of, part of I only wanted to be part of somethin' I only wanted to be part [Chorus: Emily Armstrong] 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 hopin', so fuckin' naive Fallin' for the promise of the emptiness machine The emptiness machine [Outro: Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda] (I only wanted to be part of somethin') The emptiness machine, oh (I only wanted to be part of) The emptiness machine
