When you grow older, things become senseless
That were so crucial to you at one time
There’s some relief when thoughts fade for new ones
And you realise life can be alright
A part of me thirsts for the rush and excitement
Of seeing things for the very first time
Another seeks comfort in the indifference
Always feared excruciating highs
You’re a war machine
A war machine
Love me till I’m clean
Of sin
You were a stubborn, hard-working man once
Now you catch your breath every few steps
You’ve loved and hurt the ones closest to you
I’ll savour the few moments we have left
You’re a war machine
A war machine
Love me till I’m clean
Of sin
You’re up on a plinth of your own making
Still, but there’s restlessness in your eyes
Not one to look back or to take the high road
Alone is when you feel alive
Nostalgia becomes more intoxicating
Until it is all that you still have left
I grieve the loss of the world you were part of
Picking up the pieces set adrift
You’re a war machine
A war machine
Love me till I’m clean
Of sin
