[English]

[中文]

Your blades are sharpened with precision

你的刀刃磨得如此精准

Flashing your favorite point of view

闪烁着你最喜欢的观点

I know you're waiting in the distance

我知道你在远处等待

Just like you always do

就像你总是那样

Just like you always do

就像你总是那样

Already pulling me in

已经把我拉入其中

Already under my skin

已经渗透到我肌肤

And I know exactly how this ends, I

我清楚这一切怎么结束， 我

Let you cut me open

让你割开我

Just to watch me bleed

只是为了看我流血

Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be

为了你想让我成为的人 放弃了自己

Don't know why I'm hoping

不知道为什么我还在期待

For what I won't receive

期待我得不到的东西

Falling for the promise of

相信那空洞机器的诺言

The emptiness machine

空洞机器

(The emptiness machine)

像左轮手枪一样转圈

Going around like a revolver

我们输掉的结局已定

It's been decided how we lose

因为祭坛下有火焰

'Cause there's a fire under the altar

我一直在撒谎

I keep on lying to

我不断骗自己

I keep on lying to

已经把我拉入其中

Already pulling me in

已经渗透到我肌肤

Already under my skin

我知道这会怎样结束， 我

And I know exactly how this ends, I

让你割开我

Let you cut me open

只是为了看我流血

Just to watch me bleed

为了你想让我成为的人 放弃了自己

Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be
