The Machinery Lyrics by Nova Skye

0

[Verse One]
My baby should’ve died back in ‘05
But his heart’s still somehow beating
And I look like the type not to give this shit a try
But looks can be deceiving
Lay my head on his chest
And listen to the machinery
And I don’t know just what I’d do
If he ever thinks of leaving me
Eyes are marijuana red
When he smokes up in the shed
Slip and sigh into the high
Wind up tangled in his bed
Learn the words to songs
He wrote for someone before me
Stickеrs on all his guitars
Squinting up at all the stars
He can’t evеn fucking drive
Don’t know why he has a car
Running through the city
Wearing shirts he stole from HMV
[Chorus]
You kissed me and said sorry
Are you sorry that you want me?
Are you sorry that I’m not what you need?
Tell me, do you think about it?
Reach for me like a bad habit?
‘Cause we both know that they don’t ever leave
So please don’t leave
[Verse Two]
My baby should’ve died a couple more times
So he up and left the city
He wears a disguise, we find his grave
And I pray he’s safer now he’s with me
Lay my head on his chest
And listen to the machinery
The first time I know how it feels
To have someone believe in me
He told me I was strong
But boys want me ‘cause I’m not
When I looked deep in his eyes
For a moment, I forgot
He held me when I said
I loved them natural brown
Wish I never made a scene
Called him up on Halloween
Just wanted to comfort him
I don’t need a thing for me
All the sickness and the scars
Is just what he sees now
[Chorus]
You kissed me and said sorry
Are you sorry that you want me?
Are you sorry that I’m not what you need?
Tell me, do you think about it?
Reach for me like a bad habit?
‘Cause we both know that they don’t ever leave
So please don’t leave
