Red Machine - Tomato Flower

Turn around, they might be watching And you never disappoint them Hide your innocence before they see right through You mustn't disappoint them You need the danger just to feel your heart beat You need to die just to find your identity You need the knife just to know that you can bleed You need the pain now just to feel anything We fall in line We live the lie Give up, give up and feed the machine It grows inside Nowhere to hide Give up, give up and feed the machine Give up, give up and feed the machine They pull you faster, the cadence calling And you never fall behind So choose a face, you're only crawling now You mustn't fall behind You need another death just to have a life to save You need a master just so you can beg You need a light just because you're so afraid Now bow and learn to be a good slave We fall in line We live the lie Give up, give up and feed the machine It grows inside Nowhere to hide Give up, give up and feed the machine Give up, give up and feed the machine Sleep, shhh Go back to sleep Go back to sleep Wake up Wake up Wake up Wake up We fall in line We live the lie Give up, give up and feed the machine It grows inside Nowhere to hide Wake up, wake up and kill the machine Wake up, wake up and kill the machine

I tapped on your window on your darkest night The shape of you was jagged and weak There was nowhere for me to stay but I stayed anyway And if I would've known how many pieces you had crumbled into I might have let them lay Are you really gonna talk about timing in times like these? And let all your damage damage me? And carry your baggage up my street? And make me your future history? It's time, you've come a long way Open the blinds, let me see your face You wouldn't be the first renegade to need somebody Is it insensitive for me to say "Get your shit together so I can love you"? Is it really your anxiety that stops you from giving me everything Or do you just not want to? I tapped on your window on your darkest night The shape of you was jagged and weak There was nowhere for me to stay but I stayed anyway You fire off missiles 'cause you hate yourself But do you know you're demolishing me? And then you squeeze my hand as I'm about to leave Are you really gonna talk about timing in times like these? And let all your damage damage me? And carry your baggage up my street? And make me your future history? It's time, you've come a long way Open the blinds, let me see your face You wouldn't be the first renegade to need somebody Is it insensitive for me to say "Get your shit together so I can love you"? Is it really your anxiety that stops you from giving me everything Or do you just not want to? And if I would have known how sharp the pieces were you'd crumbled into I might have let them lay Are you really gonna talk about timing in times like these? And let all your damage damage me? And carry your baggage up my street? And make me your future history? It's time, you've come a long way Open the blinds, let me see your face You wouldn't be the first renegade to need somebody To need somebody, to need somebody To need somebody, to need somebody (Are you really gonna talk about timing in times like these?) Is it insensitive for me to say (And let all your damage damage me?) "Get your shit together" (And carry your baggage up my street?) So I can love you"? (And make me your future history? It's time) Is it really your anxiety that stops me from (You've come a long way, open the blinds, let me see your face) Giving me everything or do you not just want to? (You wouldn't be the first renegade to need somebody)

There the bell tolls noon on 12th and Vine And I still need this overtime 'Cause I'm over myself I'm over the hill I'm Over-the-Rhine For the millionth time For the millionth time I park at this spot and stare at the water Try to remember I'm somebody's father Dawn commute across Covington Bridge Get lost in my head, just looking at it Now I'm looking at you Through the hole in my sheet And I still need this overtime 'Cause I'm over myself I'm over the hill I'm Over-the-Rhine For the millionth timе For the millionth time I'm overspеnt Overworked Overlooked I'm Over-the-Rhine For the millionth time Cut through Ault Park 'cause it's safe now I stalk the streets in my nightgown The Ghost of Cincinnati slinks past I smell your coffee, can you taste that? My lip on your cup won't even feel real I'm rushing there, all the way there 'Cause I'm over myself Over the hill I'm Over-the-Rhine For the millionth time For the millionth time I'm overspent Overworked Overlooked I'm Over-the-Rhine For the millionth time I feel over my head Over the hill I'm over myself I'm Over-the-Rhine For the millionth time Stalk the spring grove Rot in my old clothes Pardon Pete Rose And wonder why the evil grows Now I'm in the big time? Not a suicide I'd stalk the streets And haunt you from the North Side I pace the hedge row Dodge the low blows Play the Fountain Square And wonder where my cousins go I haunt the North Side Stop the traffic lights Cycle up Price Hill And stare up at the Pepsi sign I'm overextended I'm over it all I'm Over-the-Rhine For the millionth time I'm overextended I'm over it all I'm Over-the-Rhine For the millionth time For the millionth time

Yeah You left me in the cold I was waitin' to see what you said again You bring me above (you bring me above) Straight mischief in my head again, oh (my head) Sometimes, I realize I really need to get away Some things I regret, I wish I could incinerate Life's full of lies, and then you damn die I thought we were in sync, but I misread the signs I was such a fool to think I could make you mine You left me in the cold I was waitin' to see what you said again You bring me above (yeah, yeah) Straight mischief in my head again, oh (mischief in my head) Sometimes, I rеalize that I really need to get away Some nights, my mind has thoughts that I wish I could incinerate Life sells lies you should never buy I got side effects they never advertise I was waitin' to see what you said again (what you said again) You bring me above (you bring me above) Straight mischief in my head again Oh (mischief in my head, mischief in my head) Oh, oh Today, I saw a dotted line with your signature on the contract Your soul is no longer mine, you saw Lucifer and made contact

I am not here I am everywhere The sky struck down splitting the skin of the earth today Then god peaked down from his perch As if he had anything to say Oh sister, where have your dogs run wild? Oh sister, when will the wrongs retire? And he will eat from the heart that is giving And we will sleep at the end and beginning And she will teethe on the bones that were mending And we will sleep at the end and beginning If everything was clean like it was before Then maybe I could eat the sun right off of the floor If everything were to sleep like a stone If everything would host as a home If everything was ghost instead of bone Then everything would be fine I can feel the end that's coming You can hold the only holy ghost That sings into the night The night, the night I can feel the end that's coming You can hold the only holy ghost That sings into the night The night, the night Take off your clothes, it's time to sleep The message post sings to the sea Let off the coast, it's time to breathe Take off your clothes, it's time to sleep Take off your clothes, it's time to sleep Take off your clothes, it's time to sleep Take off your clothes, It's time to sleep
