Lyrics

Time Machine [Cross Purposes Live]

Oh what are you gonna do

When there's a part of you that needs to run with the wind?

And the fire of burning yesterdays

Can only light the way

To lead you from the garden of the dark

Stay out of shadows, now

Looks like the change is on

Tomorrow's never gone

Today just never comes

Go on and jump, yeah

Into the hurricane

You will forget the pain

It's only there to exorcise your mind

Looking at the world

When you've opened up your eyes

You've got to see the promises they've made

They're bloody lies and broken dreams

Your silent screams

You're living in a time machine

And you can choose just who you are

Someone that you've never seen

Somewhere you've never been

You're living in a time machine

Oh what are you gonna do

When every part of you just needs to catch the wind?

And the fire of burning yesterdays

Can only light the way

To lead you from the garden of the dark

Looking for the world

When you've opened up your eyes

You'll see you've got invisible chains

They're only lies, not what it seems

I hear your silent screams

You're living in a time machine

Nobody cares just where you go

Taken where you've never been

Vacate to somewhere you don't know

Living in a time machine

Why do you stay who you are?

Be what you've never been

Someone you've never seen

You're living in a time machine

Yeah
