The Heart of the Machine Lyrics by Xtha

2023

[Verse 1]
When the night began
People fell into the dark
Waiting for the sun to rise again
Staring up into the heart of the machine to say
[Chorus]
When the world’s on its last breath
And voices in your head tell you you’re the only one left
You can walk ahead or cover yourself in dreams left all alone in bed
Inside this broken machine, lies the memories of what used to be me
One shot is all it takes for a lifе to end or a light to break
[Verse 2]
Through the streets thеy ran
Looking up into the stars
As the pixels shocked and sparked again
Waiting for their god to save them from the growing void saying
Oh good messiah, bearing the fire
Head to the spire up in the sky
Daring and brave to the tower rewire
Before its programming eats us alive
[Bridge]
You don’t understand
I can’t exist like this
Your life is so precious to me
When you look at these lands
The world seems so small when you hold the sun in your hands
You don’t need to fear
Despite everything, I know that you don’t belong here
Sometimes the broken screen shatters beneath the weight of its own dreams
One shot is all it takes for a life to end or a light to break
[Chorus]
When the world’s on its last breath
And voices in your head tell you you’re the only one left
You can walk ahead or cover yourself in dreams left all alone in bed
Inside this broken machine, lies the memories of what used to be me
One shot is all it takes for a life to end or a light to break
[Outro]
When the world’s on its last breath
And voices in your head tell you you’re the only one left
You can walk ahead or cover yourself in dreams left all alone in bed
Inside this broken machine, lies the memories of what used to be me
One shot is all it takes for a game to end or a light to wake
