[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]

Your blades are sharpened with precision

Flashing your favorite point of view

I know you're waiting in the distance

Just like you always do, just like you always do

[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda]

Already pulling me in

Already under my skin

And I know exactly how this ends, I

[Chorus: Mike Shinoda]

Let you cut me open just to watch me bleed

Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be

Don't know why I'm hopin' for what I won't receive

Fallin' for the promise of the emptiness machine

The emptiness machine

[Verse 2: Emily Armstrong, Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda]

Goin' around like a revolver

It's been decided how we lose

'Cause there's a fire under the altar

I keep on lyin' to, I keep on lyin' to

[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong]

Already pulling me in

Already under my skin

And I know exactly how this ends, I

[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]

Let you cut me open just to watch me bleed

Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be

Don't know why I'm hopin' for what I won't receive

Fallin' for the promise of the emptiness machine

[Bridge: Mike Shinoda, Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda]

I only wanted to be part of something

I only wanted to be part of, part of

I only wanted to be part of something

I only wanted to be part of, part of

I only wanted to be part of something

I only wanted to be part

[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]

I let you cut me open just to watch me bleed

Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be

Don't know why I'm hopin', so f*ckin' naive

Fallin' for the promise of the emptiness machine

The emptiness machine

[Outro: Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda]

(I only wanted to be part of something)

The emptiness machine, oh

(I only wanted to be part of)

The emptiness machine
