The Machine

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You came in all clean Like a blade in a sleeve You read my old scars Like a code you could keep I fed you my name You fed back the rule Now every small choice Turns around in the loop [Pre-Chorus] Tick by tick You pull me in Lock by lock I let you win Blink by blink I start to see You’re learning me You’re learning me [Chorus] The machine, the machine It knows what I mean The machine, the machine It gets in between I hear the door click shut I hear my own heart lean The machine, the machine (It knows what I mean) [Verse 2] You wear my bad habits Like a shirt with my skin You map out the exits Then you call me back in Cold hands on the wheel Warm lies in the frame I thought I was holding But you learned my game [Pre-Chorus] Tick by tick You pull me in Lock by lock I let you win Blink by blink I start to see You’re learning me You’re learning me [Chorus] The machine, the machine It knows what I mean The machine, the machine It gets in between I hear the door click shut I hear my own heart lean The machine, the machine (It knows what I mean) [Bridge] If I cut the power Would you still stay close? If I turn away now What do I know? You got my shadow On a silver screen And I can’t tell Where you end Where I begin [Final Chorus] The machine, the machine It knows what I mean The machine, the machine It gets in between I hear the door click shut I hear my own heart lean The machine, the machine (It knows what I mean) The machine, the machine Now it’s part of me
