It won't let up, it pulls me there, to things I know I shouldn't be
It can't be stopped until it's dead, the things I know are bad for me
It won't come down, it sucks me in, the things that come so naturally
Things I've done, things I said, are things I know are bad for me
I can see the city lights from my window, I can find the city life in a car
I can see the city sights in my wounds after sinning
I can run from city nights to your door
Once you're there within it's bed, the dopamine is hard to shake
Feed the rush, heed the flame, turn it on, let's make mistakes
Can't stand up, can't stay down, a fire is lit inside of me
Won't let up until it's spent, money, dust, and everything
I can see the city lights from my window, I can find the city life in my car
Take me out, wake the deaf, let them know most definite
I've escaped from city lights to the dark
Just say no & let go, it’s easy don’t you know, stop acting erratic, it’s psychosomatic
Just let go, suicide slow, you got a bad habit, what you gonna do about it
Never let go, never let go, keep chasing bliss, keep feeding this hedonist a deeper kiss
Don’t give me static, this addiction’s automatic
And when I say no, just let the drink flow
I can see the city lights from my window, I can find the city life in your car
I can see the city lights from my window most definite
I can feel the city burn in my scars
Bold move, but can you run that fast?
You feel free, but how long can that last?
Try to leave, we're all up in your head
Bad dreams, sleep beneath the bed
Let's get lost, run and bust our lungs
Get gone, let's reign over the sun
Gotta move, split or not break through
Bad dreams are so much better for you
Electronic Rock from Victoria, BC Canada, MACHINIST takes the nocturnal, violent thrill of industrial rock and weds it to a restless, moody electronic attack that matches the melancholic & misanthropic nihilism of their lyrics.
why The Faint aren't huge is a mystery. It's alright, cuz us in the know get them all to ourselves. This album is classic Faint; raw, punchy, sexy, electrock slithering & seductive. MACHINIST
