lyrics

Clicking in a world mechanical
Every little piece impeccable
It's not enough to try
When there's no place to hide

I wanna be a better machine
I wanna be everything
As I run away from nothing,
I'll live a life for all to see

Hmm

Seething at a fractured side of me
Making every joy an enemy
They never shut their eyes
So why the hell should I?

I wanna be a better machine
I wanna live endlessly
So terrified of nothing
So how can I just let it be?

Let it be

[instrumental]

Open that window
Let it blow away
Don't let it hurt this time

Open that window
Carry it away
Leave it with an open mind
