Lyrics

Ex-Machina

[Verse 1: Michael Jagmin]

Final forewarning has gone through the door

I have seen this before

Etch it in my spine; now you think "he's mine"

For all time

[Pre-Chorus: Michael Jagmin]

Overproduce me

Hoping for a dramatic change

Map out your great escape

[Chorus: Michael Jagmin]

What's the connection?

The slightest deception

Between you and me

Man and machine

Disassemble me

Breathing at your knees

Your machine

[Verse 2: Brian White, Michael Jagmin, Cory La Quay]

Cut me open, you'll find

What you've been looking for

Helpless in motion, arise

To serve me once more

Relaxed movement brings too much pain to be seen

[Pre-Chorus: Michael Jagmin]

Overproduce me

Hoping for a dramatic change

Map out your great escape

[Chorus: Michael Jagmin]

What's the connection?

The slightest deception

Between you and me

Man and machine

Disassemble me

Breathing at your knees

Your machine

Disassemble me

Breathing at your knees

Your machine
