lyrics

This machine in my chest it speaks,
I need to reset pulmonary,
or just to talk.
In hurried time my disbelief can see,
this buried treasure symphony.
Until it stops.

When you have what you know you need, hold onto it.
And I have all of your machine, how strong is it?

The last harlot's clumsy dance, entranced,
by another lover's circumstance.
I'm too scared to ask or,
take the dance floor as a throne.
I tried so hard with hands still shaking,
the exit strategy I'm making,
can't help my chances of escaping,
or changing the fact that I am alone.

And she said the only way in,
is through her heart, not through her skin.
I love a lot, I must begin.
With your machine, I'm everything

I'm too scared to ask or,
take the dance floor as a throne.
You say you love me,
but I feel nothing.
So show me your heartbeat,
take me to the dance floor.
Is it too much to ask for,
a sign of romance or,
a heart of gold?
You need to relax more,
just get on the dance floor.
Tonight you look lovely,
just let go and trust me.
Let this feeling take hold.

When you have what you know you need, hold onto it.
And I have all of your machine, how strong is it?

... And I have all of your machine.
