7" Lyrics

My Dying Machine 7"

 

No more questions
No more answers
All that's left is the fear

No more questions
No more answers
All that's left is the fear

This dying machine
I can hear me scream
I've nowhere to run
I've nowhere to hide

I can feel they're here
I can feel the cold
I can't fight for long
This machine runs down

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
Why make speeches
Give me a reason to stay

This shape comes apart
Everything breaks down
And me I'm trapped inside
And 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

 

 

 

12" Lyrics

My Dying Machine 12"

 

Why give orders
Why make speeches

No more questions
No more answers
All that's left is the fear

No more questions
No more answers
All that's left is the fear

I can feel they're here
I can feel the cold
I can't fight for long
This machine runs down

Why give orders
Why make speeches
Give me a reason to die

Why give orders
Why make 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 die

Why give orders
Why make speeches
Give me a reason to die

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 die

Why give orders
Why make speeches
Give me a reason to die

I can only wonder
I can only wonder why

I can only wonder
I can only wonder why

Why give orders
Why make speeches
Give me a reason to die

Why give orders
Why make speeches
Give me a reason to die

I can only wonder
I can only wonder why

I can only wonder
I can only wonder why

Why give orders
Why make speeches
Give me a reason to die

Why give orders
Why make speeches
Give me a reason to die

This shape comes apart
Everything breaks down
And me I'm trapped inside
And 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
If I had a picture
I could say it's all for you
I can only wonder
I can only wonder why

Why give orders
Why make speeches
Give me a reason to stay

Why give orders
Why make speeches
Give me a reason to stay

Why give orders
Why make speeches
Give me a reason to stay

Why give orders
Why make speeches
Give me a reason to stay

Why give orders
Why make speeches
Give me a reason to stay

Why give orders
Why make speeches
Give me a reason to stay

Why give orders
Why make speeches
Give me a reason to die
