Never the Machine Forever Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can't live when it lives
It won't live if I die
Machine has no heart to give
Heart it takes could be mine
[Chorus 1]
Come on, come down
Come out from where you hide
[Verse 2]
Follows me down the river
Shadows me through the sky
A sideways glance in the mirror
Stalemate, machine in a tie
[Chorus 2]
Come on, come down
Come out from where you hide
Get up, get off
Get on with your life
[Bridge]
Forever means all is not seen
Never means forever brings everything
I can't live when it lives
It won't live if I die
Machine has no heart to give
Heart it takes could be mine
[Chorus 1]
Come on, come down
Come out from where you hide
[Verse 2]
Follows me down the river
Shadows me through the sky
A sideways glance in the mirror
Stalemate, machine in a tie
[Chorus 2]
Come on, come down
Come out from where you hide
Get up, get off
Get on with your life
[Bridge]
Forever means all is not seen
Never means forever brings everything
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
I fashion will and desire
Always I and I survive
Mercurial mind the fire
Ferrivorous direction and drive
[Chorus 2]
Come on, come down
Come out from where you hide
Get up, get off
Get on with your life
[Bridge]
Forever means all is not seen
Never means forever brings everything
[Chorus 3]
Get up, get off
Get on with your life
[Outro]
Now I see myself clearer
Why time, I visualize?
I spy device in the mirror
Checkmate, watch machine die
[Verse 3]
I fashion will and desire
Always I and I survive
Mercurial mind the fire
Ferrivorous direction and drive
[Chorus 2]
Come on, come down
Come out from where you hide
Get up, get off
Get on with your life
[Bridge]
Forever means all is not seen
Never means forever brings everything
[Chorus 3]
Get up, get off
Get on with your life
[Outro]
Now I see myself clearer
Why time, I visualize?
I spy device in the mirror
Checkmate, watch machine die
