Waiting for the Wave - Machinery

I’m bleeding

All of me bleeding

Let me run, let me fade away

Can’t hide behind the curtain

Don’t fit in within the frame

And I plunge deeper and deeper

From solid ground the tide sweeps me away

I’ve tried so hard to make it all better

To please and make everything seem right

I keep telling myself to breathe again

To go on and live through another day

But it takes me down, I gasp for air

It chokes inside me, wants me dead

The pounding aches harder and harder

Deeper and deeper I fall

Another ray reaches to an end

Battered, beaten, deluded, degraded

I’ve tried to scrub it off, I’ve tried to wash it off

But it stays

Remains inside of me

I keep telling myself to breathe again

To go on and live through another day

But it takes me down, I gasp for air

It chokes inside me, wants me dead

The pounding aches harder and harder

Deeper and deeper I fall

I’ve tried to scrub it off, I’ve tried to wash it off

But it stays

Remains inside of me
