\n
I beat my machine it’s a part of me it’s inside of me<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I’m stuck in this dream it’s changing me I am becoming<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The me that you know had some second thoughts<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
He’s covered with scabs he is broken and sore<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The me that you know doesn’t come around much<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
That part of me isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t here anymore<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
All pain disappears it’s the nature of my circuitry<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Drowns out all I hear no escape from this my new consciousness<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The me that you know used to have feelings<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
But the blood has stopped pumping and he’s left to decay<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The me that you know is now made up of wires<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
And even when I’m right with you I’m so far away<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
I can try to get away but I’ve strapped myself in<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I can try to scratch away the sound in my ears<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I can see it killing away all my bad parts<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I don’t want to listen but it’s all too clear<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Hiding backwards inside of me I feel so unafraid<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Annie, hold a little tighter I might just slip away<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
It won’t give up it wants me dead<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Goddamn this noise inside my head<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
