Undertow - The Machine Lyrics

Jack knifed between a vice
Stuck inside the machine
That's the way that I wanted it to be
Sometimes, I'm so uptight
The pressure growing in me
Hold open my eyes so I can see
And though alive, I'm dead inside
Captivated in dream
Crushed under the weight that's keeping me free
Those feelings come back again
The fear of walking alone
Loneliness is the soul that I have grown
And I will convince you
To put your life on the line
I'll be waiting for the day you take decline
It's in my mind, there's nowhere to hide
Torn apart at the seams
Ripped and battered by the necessity to breathe
To be me
It's nothing personal
You're just a part of personnel
Just a pawn in the game you're born to lose
And you only know
The truth that I have told you
That's the way I wanted it to be
And though alive I'm dead inside
Captivated in dream
Slave till the day when it puts you on your knees
