Lyrics
My Dying Machine
No more questions
No more answers
All that's left isn't there
No more questions
No more answers
All that's left isn't there
I can feel them near
I can feel them near
I can't fight for long
This machine runs down
Why give orders?
Why give speeches?
Give me a reason to die
Why give orders?
Why give speeches?
Give me a reason to die
If I had a picture
I could say it's all for you
If I had a picture
I could say it's all for you
Why give orders?
Why make speeches?
Give me a reason to stay
Why give orders?
And why make speeches?
Give me a reason to stay
This dying machine
I can hear me scream
I've nowhere to run
I've nowhere to hide
Why give orders?
Why make speeches?
Give me a reason to fight
Why give orders?
Why make speeches?
Give me a reason to fight
I've nowhere to run
I've nowhere to run
Why give orders?
Why make speeches?
Give me a reason to die
Why give orders?
And why make speeches?
Give me a reason to die
Everything breaks down
And me, I'm trapped inside
Here inside it ends
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can do now
If I had a picture
I could say it's all for you
I can only wonder
I can only wonder why
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can do now
(Why give orders?)
(Why make speeches?)
