I'm not a man

I'm a machine

Chisel me down

until I am clean

I buy books

I never read

And then I'll tell you

some more about, me!

Beneath the concrete

there's a sound

A muffled cry

below the ground

There is a poison

in the air

A mix of chemicals

and fear

Manners are just

hunches

I'm not sure

what they mean

You're asking

for commitment

when I'm somewhere

in between

Never, never try to

gauge temperature

When you tend to

travel at such speed

It's our velocity

Is it cold where you

are this time of year?

You didn't leave a scar

A stream of numbers

hit a screen

And you're expected to

know what they mean

Throughout the conflict

I was serene

I can't outrun the

sadness I've seen

Are you willing

to resist?

For people you've

never met

The devil's wheel

revolves

But it needs to be reset

Never, never try to

gauge temperature

when you tend to travel

at such speed

It's our velocity

Please tell me

Is it cold where you

are this time of year?

You didn't leave a scar

I've got no one

to call

In the middle of

the night anymore

I'm just alone

with these thoughts

I've got no one to call

In the middle of

the night anymore

I'm just alone

with my thoughts

I watched a film to

change my feelings

Strong enough to

bear a burden

If everyone became

this sensitive

I wouldn't have to

be so sensitive

If everyone became

so sensitive

Perhaps I wouldn't

be so sensitive

I've got no one to call

In the middle of the

night anymore

I'm just alone

with these thoughts

I've got no one to call

In the middle of the

night anymore

I'm just alone

with my thoughts

Never, never try to

gauge temperature

When you tend to

travel at such speed

It's our velocity
