Lyrics

[00:13.87] I’m not a man, I’m a machine
[00:16.19] Chisel me down until I am clean
[00:18.67] I buy books, I never read
[00:21.18] And then I’ll tell you some more about me
[00:24.28]
[00:28.75] Beneath the concrete there’s a sound
[00:31.18] A muffled cry below the ground
[00:33.67] There is a poison in the air
[00:36.11] A mix of chemicals and fear
[00:38.35]
[00:39.17] Manners are just hunches
[00:41.48] I’m not sure what they mean
[00:44.03] You’re asking for commitment
[00:46.03] When I’m somewhere in between
[00:48.41]
[00:49.47] Never, never try to gauge temperature
[00:51.76] When you tend to travel
[00:53.54] At such speed
[00:55.86] It's Our Velocity
[00:59.43] Is it cold where you are this time of the year
[01:03.04] You didn’t leave a scar
[01:04.99]
[01:14.99] A stream of numbers hit a screen
[01:17.40] And you’re expected to know what they mean
[01:19.92] Throughout the conflict I was serene
[01:22.47] I can't outrun the sadness I’ve seen
[01:24.94] Are you willing to resist
[01:27.74] The people you’ve never met
[01:30.30] The devil's wheel revolves
[01:32.63] But it needs to be reset
[01:34.58]
[01:35.61] Never, never try to gauge temperature
[01:38.02] When you tend to travel
[01:39.76] At such speed
[01:42.02] It's Our Velocity
[01:44.39] Please tell me is it cold
[01:46.49] where you are this time of the year
[01:49.47] You didn’t leave a scar
[01:51.52]
[01:55.76] I’ve got no one to call
[01:58.23] In the middle of the night anymore
[02:00.96] I’m just alone
[02:02.40] With these thoughts
[02:04.15]
[02:05.67] I’ve got no one to call
[02:08.28] In the middle of the night anymore
[02:10.93] I'm just alone
[02:12.37] With my thoughts
[02:13.98]
[02:25.66] I watched a film to change my feelings
[02:28.06] Strong enough to bear a burden
[02:30.60] If everyone became this sensitive
[02:33.13] I wouldn't have to be so sensitive
[02:35.55] If everyone became so sensitive
[02:38.07] Perhaps I wouldn't be so sensitive
[02:40.44] Love is a lie, which means I've been lied to
[02:43.24] Love is a lie, which means I've been lying too
[02:46.07] Love is a lie, which means I've been lied to
[02:48.48] Love is a lie
[02:49.94]
[02:50.68] I’ve got no one to call
[02:53.23] In the middle of the night anymore
[02:55.92] I’m just alone
[02:57.32] With these thoughts
[02:58.86]
[03:00.70] I’ve got no one to call
[03:03.12] In the middle of the night anymore
[03:05.92] I’m just alone
[03:07.35] With my thoughts
[03:08.79]
[03:10.64] Never, never try to guage temperature
[03:13.04] When you tend to travel
[03:14.89] At such speed
[03:16.93] It's Our Velocity
[03:18.57]
