Feed the Machine - Poor Man's Poison

I can feel the animal within I chain the beast and crawl inside myself I hear the call of violence I sleep no more, and I can't I've lost it all Carry me through this world of lies Feel no more, the suffering Bury me in this cold light Feed the wolf and shed my skin I can see the devil closing in I choke the breath that dies to cry for help I feel the pull of gravity I bleed no more, and rise again I've lost it all Carry me through this world of lies Feel no more, the suffering Bury me in this cold light Feed the wolf and shed my skin It is no longer a human, it's a beast Unmerciful, ferocious, fearless You're a madman Tampering with nature Every man, a vicious animal Carry me through this world of lies Feel no more, the suffering Bury me in this cold light Feed the wolf and shed my skin Carry me through this world of lies (Fight the animal) Feel no more, the suffering (Fight the animal) Bury me in this cold light (Fight the animal) Feed the wolf and shed my skin

You always try and force me out of character Testin' my lines and limits like it's all you care about Is this fun for you? Does it make you feel good? Is there somethin' I did that you're holdin' onto? This is all starting to be so unbearable I'm tired of playin' it cool Just leave me alone, all I did is move on And sometimes it feels like it would've been better if I stooped as low, gave you hell like you want Did I feed the fire by havin' enough? 'Cause, no one warned me that some People need to get back what they give to move on And I guess you were one Did I feed the fire by just givin' up? What are you waitin', watchin', doin' all this for? Are you close to done? It's gone on too long How haven't you gotten bored? Yeah, I'm tired of playin' it cool So just leave me alone, all I did is move on And sometimes it feels like it would've been better if I stooped as low, gave you hell like you want Did I feed the fire by havin' enough? 'Cause, no one warned me that some People need to get back what they give to move on And I guess you were one Did I feed the fire by just givin' up? I'll bet you decipher my words in your room By yourself, like you've won, thinkin' it's all for you But I'm tired of seeing your name in my views What are you tryin' to do? Just leave me alone, all I did is move on And sometimes it feels like it would've been better if I stooped as low, gave you hell like you want Did I feed the fire by havin' enough? 'Cause, no one warned me that some People need to get back what they give to move on And I guess you were one Did I feed the fire by just givin' up?

I used to see the future and now I see nothing They cut out my eyes and sent me home packing To pace around the kitchen for scraps of inspiration Crying like Cassandra, I Used to tell the future, but they cut out my tongue And left me doing laundry to think in what I've done It wasn't me, it was the song I used to move into the future, bring it all back Let it bleed through my fingers, a treasure in my hands Now I creep out when there's no one about 'Cause they put crosses on the doors to try and keep me out The garden's overgrown And I run in the middle of the road (ooh) Well, can you see me? I cannot see you Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view In this blindness I'm condemned to Well, can you hear me? I cannot hear you Every song I thought I knew, I've been deafened to And there's no one left to sing to All the gods have been domesticated And Heaven is now overrated And the churches, they all closed their doors But you can take your complaints straight to the Lord I try to still look with wonder on the world As the roses bloom And the riot van still plainly in view Well, can you see me? I cannot see you Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view In this blindness I'm condemned to Well, can you hear me? I cannot hear you Every song I thought I knew, I've been deafened to And there's no one left to sing to Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh Take me back Oh, drunken gods of slaughter You know I've always been your Favorite daughter Well, can you see me? I cannot see you Everything I thought I knew is falling out of view And if I run fast enough, could I break apart As empires crumble and cathedrals flatten in my heart?

All alone It was always there you see And even on my own It was always standing next to me I can see it coming from the edge of the room Creeping in the streetlight Holding my hand in the pale gloom Can you see it coming now? Oh, I think I'm breaking down again Oh, I think I'm breaking down All alone Even when I was a child I've always known There was something to be find You know that I can see you coming from the edge of the room Creeping in the streetlight Holding my hand in the pale gloom Can you see it coming now? Oh, I think I'm breaking down again Oh, I think I'm breaking down All alone On the edge of sleep My old familiar friend Comes and lies down next to me And I can see you coming from the edge of the room Smiling in the streetlight Even with my eyes shut tight I still see you coming Oh, I think I'm breaking down again Oh, I think I'm breaking down again Oh, I think I'm breaking down again Oh, I think I'm breaking down
