Even though I am credited for submitting the above lyrics, they are wrong. Those are not the lyrics I submitted. I took the time to transcribe the correct lyrics directly from the albums liner notes, but apparently whoever approved it decided to ignore my submission and instead copy/pasted whatever incorrect shit they found posted to the LyricFind website. (They did the same for several other Japanese Breakfast songs I submitted as well). I tried editing them, didn't work. I tried to contact a moderator 3 times (2 emails, 1 forum post) to see if they could straighten it out, but never heard back. At any rate, here are the correct lyrics to the song. (transcribed directly from the records liner notes)
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...
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
[woman]-Do you trust me? Can you feel it?
[machine]-Total control, can't let go
[woman]-It could be bliss
[machine]-Machinist
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
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
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
