Paradise Lost - The Machinist

I've been believing in something so distant As if I was human And I've been denying this feeling of hopelessness In me, in me All the promises I made Just to let you down You believed in me, but I'm broken I have nothing left And all I feel is this cruel wanting We've been falling for all this time And now I'm lost in paradise As much as I'd like the past not to exist It still does And as much as I'd like to feel like I belong here I'm just as scared as you I have nothing left And all I feel is this cruel wanting We've been falling for all this time And now I'm lost in paradise Run away, run away One day we won't feel this pain anymore Take it all the way, shadows of you 'Cause they won't let me go 'Till I have nothing left And all I feel is this cruel wanting We've been falling for all this time And now I'm lost in paradise Alone and lost in paradise

We spend a lifetime In death we trade Until it's over Manipulate the ones who stay Guarded and secret Stalking a world in which I'm new Sorely deceitful In all that is so abused For the universal dream, born to understand For the universal need, born to understand Repenting lifestyles In death we train Until it's over Eliminate the ones who stay Guarded and secret Another world in which I grew Sorely deceitful In all that is so abused For the universal dream, born to understand For the universal need, born to understand Manipulate the ones who say Save me Manipulate the ones who stay Incriminate me Guarded and secret Stuck in a world in which I'm new Sorely deceitful In all that is so abused

Drifting through loss We escape from the cost of the pain The healing through years So obscured by the tears and the strain But this one-way street you're on You'll never be fulfilled And this one-way street you're on Is gonna get you killed Healing the lost So delusional hollow and vague Ascending through fear As emotionless dreams of the grave But this one-way street you're on You'll never be fulfilled And this one-way street you're on Is gonna get you killed Onto a higher ground, a youthful lie, no warning death Hiding this truth in all us Another fired down, do or die, it's just despair Hiding the truth in all us God asks not to kill God asks not to kill God asks not Godless, sworn to kill Godless, sworn to kill God asks not With inner peace gone, you pray All those darker thoughts are coming back to stay With inner peace gone you've paid All those darker thoughts are coming back to stay Godless sworn to kill Annihilation Godless sworn to kill (Godless sworn to kill) Annihilation God asks not to kill God asks not to kill God asks not Godless sworn to kill Godless sworn to kill God asks not
