The one lost in the machine
Cannot be gotten back
Spent, used
To feed the circle
Maybe we trusted too much
In that time would heal
The thing we took
So much trouble for
That we broke
The thing meant to be beautiful
refrain:
Pain dies by yelling
And laying naked on the floor
How long will it last
No, that cannot be known
Who's hurt and by how much
I guess that's what the real question is anymore
When we've come to the point
Where nothing is sure
The longest hours in the world
You stay in their grip
You carry them till the end
Though sometimes you can't notice it yourself
What is that heaven like
That was never found
I've heard all sorts of things about it
Some of them even from my own mouth
You can keep going for long
When you just convince yourself
refrain
Some of us are unhappy
Burnt yet numb
Regretful yet unfaithful
More than restless
The principle is unconditional
The explanation is solid
The equation may be impossible
What do you mean ruthless? (x5)
refrain
Pain dies by yelling
And laying naked on the floor
But how long can one take it
No, that cannot be known
