Machinist Lyrics
[Intro]
I don't know how it happened
Was it always this way and I just couldn't see it?
Heart burning hot enough for the both of us
I never realized how much you were holding back
All the times I felt so plugged in
You were tuning out
A muted channel, a cold shell, a hologram, an abyss
[Verse 1]
How can I fight a kingdom of your demons?
A mist so palpable
You can't have it all
Her and all the pleasure
A woman can give
[Bridge]
Do you trust me?
Can you feel it?
Total control
Can't let go
It could be bliss
Machinist
[Chorus]
Can't speak
You wanted it all
Let go a piece of your heart
All the pleasure it gives
Leave me lost in the night
Shadows go in and go by
I just wanted it all
[Verse 2]
Here's to the night
A lullaby a-creepin'
A song to win your love
See me at all?
Through all of your aggressors
The true one
[Chorus]
Can't speak
You wanted it all
Let go a piece of your heart
All the pleasure it gives
Leave me lost in the night
Shadows go in and go by
I just wanted it all

What did Japanese Breakfast say about "Machinist"?

It started with the synth line, and I had this idea for the spoken word, and sort of like a hip-hop skit in the middle. I got really shy about it at first, but Craig Hendrix, who co-produced the album...
