^EmAre we so alone, So distant, So ^Dforgotten, As we t^Cadd9hink ourselves t^D/F#o be? These are our l^Emifes But did they ever even ^Dmatter? Are we ^Cadd9worth rememberi^D/F#ng?

^EmThese machines feed on the t^Cadd9ears of broken lifes and dying dr^Geams (Oh, Ohhhhhhhh, Oh, O^Dhhhhhhhhhh) ^EmWe’re throwing wrenches in th^Cadd9e gears Our lifes will not be lived in v^Gain (Oh, Ohhhhhhhh, Oh, O^Dhhhhhhhhhh)

^EmWhen this is all said and done We spent this l^Cadd9ife on the run Judged by the ^Gcompany w^D/F#e keep Our language, ^Emburied inside These lungs that ^Cadd9keep us alive We ^Gbreathe so se^D/F#lfishly

Promises we plan to ^Embreak Are made in whispered ^Dvoices Cause our d^Cadd9espair knows many ^D/F#names We make ^Emmistakes But we apologize with ^Droses we ^Cadd9never stop to smell on the ^D/F#way

^EmWe fell ^Gfrom the ^D/F#sky tod^Emaaay ^EmWe melt ^Ginto ^D/F#balls of cl^Emaay ^EmWe sell ^Gourselves ^D/F#every^Emday ^EmDon’t tell m^Cadd9e how t^Go live thi^D/F#s way

^EmPushed so far to the edge We^Cadd9 teeter just on the b^Grink (Oh, Ohhhhhhhh, Oh, ^DOhhhhhhhhhh) ^EmYou can lead me to the blo^Cadd9odbath But you can’t make me^G drink (Oh, Ohhhhhhhh, Oh, ^DOhhhhhhhhhh)

^EmAs These machines feed on th^Cadd9e tears of broken lifes and dying ^Gdreams (Oh, Ohhhhhhhh, Oh, O^Dhhhhhhhhhh) ^EmWe’re throwing wrenches in th^Cadd9e gears Our lifes will not be lived in v^Gain (Oh, Ohhhhhhhh, Oh, O^Dhhhhhhhhhh) my life will not be lived in ^Emvain
