Your blades are sharpened with precision 00:05

Flashing your favorite point of view 00:10

I know you're waiting in the distance 00:15

Just like you always do 00:21

Just like you always do 00:23

Already pulling me in 00:26

Already under my skin 00:28

And I know exactly how this ends, I 00:31

Let you cut me open 00:35

Just to watch me bleed 00:37

Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be 00:40

Don't know why I'm hoping 00:45

For what I won't receive 00:47

Falling for the promise of 00:50

The emptiness machine 00:53

(The emptiness machine) 00:55

Going around like a revolver 01:07

It's been decided how we lose 01:12

'Cause there's a fire under the altar 01:18

I keep on lying to 01:23

I keep on lying to 01:25

Already pulling me in 01:28

Already under my skin 01:31

And I know exactly how this ends, I 01:34

Let you cut me open 01:37

Just to watch me bleed 01:40

Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be 01:43

Don't know why I'm hoping 01:48

For what I won't receive 01:50

Falling for the promise of 01:53

The emptiness machine 01:55

I only wanted to be part of something 02:02

I only wanted to be part of, part of 02:07

I only wanted to be part of something 02:13

I only wanted to be part of, part of 02:18

I only wanted to be part of something 02:23

I only wanted to be part 02:28

I let you cut me open 02:32

Just to watch me bleed 02:35

Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be 02:37

Don't know why I'm hoping 02:43

So fucking naive 02:45

Falling for the promise of 02:48

The emptiness machine 02:50

The emptiness machine 02:53

(I only wanted to be part of something) 02:54

The emptiness machine 02:58

(I only wanted to be part of) 03:00

[English]

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
Already pulling me in
Already under my skin
And I know exactly how this ends, 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 hoping
For what I won't receive
Falling for the promise of
The emptiness machine
(The emptiness machine)
Going around like a revolver
It's been decided how we lose
'Cause there's a fire under the altar
I keep on lying to
I keep on lying to
Already pulling me in
Already under my skin
And I know exactly how this ends, 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 hoping
For what I won't receive
Falling for the promise of
The emptiness machine
I only wanted to be part of something
I only wanted to be part of, part of
I only wanted to be part of something
I only wanted to be part of, part of
I only wanted to be part of something
I only wanted to be part
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 hoping
So fucking naive
Falling for the promise of
The emptiness machine
The emptiness machine
(I only wanted to be part of something)
The emptiness machine
(I only wanted to be part of)
The emptiness machine
