Lyrics

There's a flaw in this machine. You've abandoned me. I thought these nuts and bolts would hold tight. You trusted me as I have trusted you. We veer right. I've signed no contract for this sudden suicide. Why don't I have a choice? You've blinded me by what you will call a shield. Burdened by momentum, and empty sheath I wield. My life should play before my eyes and I'd see us all laughing, but no. I hit the wall. Screeching. Breaking. Cement scraping. Don't look at me that way. I'm just as strong today as I was when everything was okay. In this machine I lay, but my heart won't cease its beat. Not today. Please continue on your way. There are bigger matters to attend to than looking down on me with your self proclaimed pity. I'm no soldier. I may not be a soldier, but I'm certainly not the one who's in need of being saved. I'm no victim. Need no savior. So go hang up your cape. Go filing through the damsels in distress who need a hero for the ending of this story's taken shape. I will live another day to tell a story so cliche until this memory fades to gray. Don't look at me that way. I'm just as strong today as I was when everything was okay. In this machine I lay, but my heart won't cease its beat. Not today. I survived.
