[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
~#**************#~
Your blades are sharpened with precision
~#**************#~
Flashing your favorite point of view
~#**************#~
I know youre waiting in the distance
~#**************#~
Just like you always do, just like you always do
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
~#**************#~
Already pulling me in
~#**************#~
Already under my skin
~#**************#~
And I know exactly how this ends, I
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
~#**************#~
Let you cut me open just to watch me bleed
~#**************#~
Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be
~#**************#~
Dont know why Im hopin for what I wont receive
~#**************#~
Fallin for the promise of the emptiness machine
~#**************#~
The emptiness machine
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Emily Armstrong, Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda]
~#**************#~
Goin around like a revolver
~#**************#~
Its been decided how we lose
~#**************#~
‘Cause theres a fire under the altar
~#**************#~
I keep on lyin to, I keep on lyin to
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong]
~#**************#~
Already pulling me in
~#**************#~
Already under my skin
~#**************#~
And I know exactly how this ends, I
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
~#**************#~
Let you cut me open just to watch me bleed
~#**************#~
Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be
~#**************#~
Dont know why Im hopin for what I wont receive
~#**************#~
Fallin for the promise of the emptiness machine
~#**************#~
[Bridge: Mike Shinoda, Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda]
~#**************#~
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
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
~#**************#~
I let you cut me open just to watch me bleed
~#**************#~
Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be
~#**************#~
Dont know why Im hopin, so fuckin naive
~#**************#~
Fallin for the promise of the emptiness machine
~#**************#~
The emptiness machine
~#**************#~
[Outro: Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda]
~#**************#~
(I only wanted to be part of something)
~#**************#~
The emptiness machine, oh
~#**************#~
(I only wanted to be part of)
~#**************#~
The emptiness machine
