Lyrics

Machete

[Verse 1]

Yesterday, I felt so cold, I felt like I could die

Took the needles from my arms and put them to the sky

Watched the cold come take me, pull me down like I did know

I saw it gone, I saw it gone, I saw it gone, I saw it gone

[Verse 2]

Hold myself up 'til tomorrow holds me down again

Feel the darkness coming, oversee how it begins

Come with me into the willow garden out tonight

Feel the darkness come, my moon will touch you with its light

[Interlude]

​eybdoog yas ot evah I

[Verse 3]

Help me life was over love I want to have you in my sight

Seeing I was overlooked, I had you in my hand

Like a lid of no survivors, not that I don't mind

Help me, broken baby, help me break you with my mind

[Outro]

With my mind

With my mind

With my mind

With my mind
