[Intro]
I hate to say it but I think about you all the time
I live inside the darkest corners of our conversation
My head is vacant when I try to picture you and I
I know I'm on my own, I'll never make it out

[Verse 1]
I remember way back when, when I was on your side
You were an idol in my eyes
I would never say that then 'cause I couldn't decide
If it was only a disguise
I'll never let them take my head
The fog is thick inside
It's been haunting me tonight
I still remember days I spent
In fear of a device
That could take away your mind

The Combine knows
That's why I've been keeping one eye open
Every day they see your spotlight grow
I hate to think that I'll be on my own when
They take you down

[Chorus]
I hate to say it but I think about you all the time (I hate that)
I live inside the darkest corners of our conversation (I can't see)
My head is vacant when I try to picture you and I (When they turn on)
I know I'm on my own, I'll never make it out (Those machines)
[Verse 2]
I've been sleeping with my headphones on
I swore I heard your laughter but it's been so long
Since I could find my peace with every word that's gone
I learned to love these shockwaves that distort what's right from wrong

They know
That's why I've been keeping one eye open
They don't need evidence when hearsay grows
I hate to think that I'll be on my own when
They take you down

[Chorus]
I hate to say it but I think about you all the time (I hate that)
I live inside the darkest corners of our conversation (I can't see)
My head is vacant when I try to picture you and I (When they turn on)
I know I'm on my own, I'll never make it out (Those machines)

[Bridge]
(The Combine knows)
I'm fading ignorantly into the past
(That's why I've been keeping one eye open)
My head's returning with afflictions attached
(Everyday they see your spotlight grow)
I made a covenant that I still regret
(I hate to think that I'll be on my own when)
I got my freedom but they got your head
(They take you down)
[Outro]
I hate that
I can't see
When they turn on
Those machines
