[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
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
[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
Don’t know why I’m hoping for what I won’t receive
Falling for the promise of the emptiness machine
The emptiness machine
[Verse 2: Emily & Mike]
Going around like a revolver
It’s been decided how we lose
‘Cuz there’s a fire under the altar
I keep on lying to, I keep on lying to
[Pre-Chorus: Mike & Emily]
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
Don’t know why I’m hoping for what I won’t receive
Falling for the promise of the emptiness machine
[Bridge: Mike & Emily]
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
Don’t know why I’m hoping, so fμcκ¡ng naive
Falling for the promise of the emptiness machine
The emptiness machine
[Outro: Mike & Emily]
(I only wanted to be part of something)
The emptiness machine, oh
(I only wanted to be part of)
The emptiness machine
