Enter the doors and you'll find machines. Pulling at your skin and rewiring. There's no escape 'cause it's so far away and you're being pulled in deeper by a bill on a string.
They'll make you perfect, but not really. They'll make you question, who are you, maybe? So don't you forget
Behind the factory, behind the factory. Will you remember me? Behind the factory?
Money is your fuel oh and you will burn out fast. Because that kind of motivation doesn't last. It's gotta be something real hold on to your star, I hope you never forget 'bout your Toy Guitar.
So count your blessings, don't count bills and keys. If I let them change me, I'll be a piece in their machine, oooohh...
Behind the factory, behind the factory. Will you remember me? Behind the factory?
Feeding off everyone is temporary satisfaction. Feeding off attention is temporary satisfaction.
Behind the factory, behind the factory. Will you remember me? Behind the factory?

I feel my brain pulsing up against the sides of my skull. Why don't you listen to the words that I'm speaking from my soul? You've got your walls put around your heart but all I have is love. Just let me in and I promise you that it'll be enough.
Baby this is real. Do you love me still?
There's a fire in my chest and I don't know if it's stress or my love for you. Maybe it's a mix of both, oh, what a dangerous poison to be consumed. It's only for you. It's only for you.
Baby this is real. Do you love me still?
Knunckles pounding up against the bars, won't you answer me? My throat and my lungs run dry, just turn around and see...
That baby this is real. My love lingers still. Baby this is real. Do you love me still?
Baby this is real. My love lingers still. Baby this is real. Do you love me still?

Even though the sun shines, my whole world is a black hole. Being sucked up inside, oh your words they still linger on. They're eating out my insides, all that's left are my cold bones. Oh it is me. I am guilty, and you break them like twigs from a fallen tree.
Starving for love, choking on pain. Pull on or pull it off, this unavoidable chain? Your mouth is a gun, bullets at my face. But in my hand is the real key to my ache.
Oohhh... is there an edge to this world? If sooo, I don't care anymore. Each stoke of this blood filled pen is to no one. And they won't notice. When I'm gone. When I'm gone.
(Claudine)
It's eight o' clock and I don't know what's going on. My voice it echoes through this house wondering where you are. I am scared 'cause you don't know how much you are, in my heart.

(Claudine)
What is there that I can do, to make the colors fill your eyes? Because from what I'm seeing, there ain't no ink inside. And you've let all your pain, spill out on this page. I am shaking and terrified by the letters that lay on these lines.

(If I had known that you felt like nobody cared, would things have turned out any better if someone was there? There scoring points just throwing words filled with poison hate, I guess they've won the game.)
When I'm gone (now you're gone) When I'm gone (now you're gone)
When I'm gone...when I'm gone... when I'm gone... when I'm gone...

Now before I start I wanna say... I'm bad at writing love songs but there's no time to delay. It's important that you should know how much I really love you yes my heart I will follow
A box of CDs on the counter, a meadow full of flowers, your voice as smooth as chocolate I know. No this song won't do you justice it's impossible describing take forever going on and on. Cause baby
I I I I I'm, stumbling across my words. And it's all all all your fault. Got me feeling like I'll fall.
I know it's coming off as corny. So just go ahead and laugh at me your smile is all I need to see. Isn't it just lovely? This thing we share God's given grace I want to feel your warm embrace. Nothing compares to, not a thing compares to you. I will give you everything, and this song I'll keep on singing.
A box of CDs on the counter, a meadow full of flowers, your voice as smooth as chocolate I know. No this song won't do you justice it's impossible describing take forever going on and on. So baby
I I I I I'm, stumbling across my words. And it's all all all your fault. Got me feeling like I'll fall.
Ain't nothing that can keep me from you. Love forever's what I wanna do.
My dear your presence overwhelms me hope that doesn't seem too creepy. I'm blushing red right now, I know. Some people might think that I'm crazy but I'll still call you my baby you're the colors to my rainbow. So darling...
I I I I I'm, stumbling across my words. And it's all all all your fault. Got me feeling like I'll fall.
Now before I end I wanna say... I thank God for you everyday, with you everything's okay.

Say Hi to God for Me
03:17

A prayer for you. What am I to say? I'm so confused. Can't believe what happened today, on the news. They were people that, people that we knew. Who knew?
Why must these things happen to us? We are trying to hold on but the scars never leave. Oh it's love that we need. And if you're listening, please say... would you say hi to God for me? Would you say hi to God for me?
Wanted to hold on to anybody it didn't matter who. I saw strangers become neighbors. Never did I say 'I love you" more in that time, in that place. Things will never be the same. We are forever changed.
Maybe they're just watching over us and flying through the clouds, oh. Rainbows and sunsets are their way to say they're okay. You're in his arms and I know that he'll keep you safe. Would you say hi to God for me? Would you say hi to God for me?
Grasp hands tighter we're together. Tears might fall we'll have each other. Remember your laugh, remember your smile, heaven now shines light for miles and miles. Would you say hi to God for me? Would you say hi to God for me?
Would you say hi to God for me? Would you say hi to God for me?
