[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda] Your blades are sharpened with precision Flashing your favorite point of view I know you're waiting in the distance Just like you always do, just like you always do [Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda] Already pulling me in Already under my skin And I know exactly how this ends, I [Chorus: Mike Shinoda] Let you cut me open just to watch me bleed Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be Don't know why I'm hoping for what I won't receive Falling for the promise of the emptiness machine The emptiness machine [Verse 2: Emily Armstrong, Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda] Going around like a revolver It's been decided how we lose 'Cause there's a fire under the altar I keep on lying to, I keep on lying to [Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong] Already pulling me in Already under my skin And I know exactly how this ends, I [Chorus: Emily Armstrong] Let you cut me open just to watch me bleed Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be Don't know why I'm hoping for what I won't receive Falling for the promise of the emptiness machine [Bridge: Mike Shinoda, Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong] I only wanted to be part of something I only wanted to be part of, part of I only wanted to be part of something I only wanted to be part of, part of I only wanted to be part of something I only wanted to be part [Chorus: Emily Armstrong] I let you cut me open just to watch me bleed Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be Don't know why I'm hoping, so naïve Falling for the promise of the emptiness machine The emptiness machine [Outro: Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong] (I only wanted to be part of something) The emptiness machine, oh (I only wanted to be part of) The emptiness machine
