The Mad Machine

[Intro] Melancholy, melancholy life Mouse will turn into man (Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na) Running out of time He'll run as fast as he can Please spare the children Please don’t take their lives [Pre-Verse] One man on the fringe of greatness Impeded by his own design He's disarmed from a broken promise He's disarmed (x2) [Verse 1] A little black cat ran in front of your car A little superstition always goes too far (Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na) Running out of time Like a coward with no vertebrate I find this nearest exit and attempt to flee Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh [Refrain] Is it really victimless If I’m the one with blood on my hands? (Kill the mad machine, mad machine) One too many murder dwellings Banished to the back of my head Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh [Chorus] Face me, I beg you, please (x2) You're almost seventeen (x2) It's not late for me (x2) To give up on my dreams My dreams (x2) will be waiting [Pre-Verse] [Verse 2] Your insomnia is as fake as they come You're not a dark poet; You don’t deserve to be loved (Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na) Running out of time Put your clothes back on And get your legs off mine I don't want to grow old And you’re a waste of my time Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh [Refrain] Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh [Chorus] [Bridge] Love, it unfurls and creeps up on us (Kill the mad machine we fed. Kill it dead [x2]) Kill the mad machine (Kill the mad machine we fed. Kill it dead) Kill the mad machine we fed Kill it dead [Outro] Face me, I beg you, please (x2) (Kill the mad machine we fed. Kill it dead [x2]) You're almost seventeen (x2) (Kill the mad machine we fed. Kill it dead [x2]) It's not late for me (x2) (Kill the mad machine we fed. Kill it dead [x2]) To give up on my dreams (Kill the mad machine we fed. Kill it dead [x2]) My dreams (x2) will be waiting Kill the mad machine we fed
