lyrics

What's with the hype surrounding us
You brought the fight, now I'll bring the punch
Trust me when I say that we're going down, going down

Haunted hallways as a past time
Sippin' on dreams just to survive
Celebrity sells, but all these dragons are making me melt

And once we come alive tonight
Internal pressure is building up outside
Come bust us up, combustion sucks, but it's needed for good luck
Prove to me, prove to me
That we can build a stable machine
That we can build a stable machine

What's with the shame effecting us
You brought so much but I fear your touch
Trust me when I say we're over now, over now

Tell me everything you're facing
We're going back to the basics
All in good time, I think I just saved my life

Talk to me, we never sleep
Without some means of thinking on our feet

Science pressure, robotic gestures
We've got to build a life full of pleasure
Soon you'll see, soon you'll see
We've got to build a stable machine
We've got to build a stable machine

Now where are we going? (Where are we going?)
And where have you been? (Where have you been?)
I'd like to thank this life we've shared for breaking us in
For breaking us in
Prove to me, prove to me
That we can build a stable machine
That we can build a stable machine
