  • Aren't you sick of the con, not quite, hold on illuminous
    They're expecting so little, can't feel the miracle

    The zombies licking your window
    For black body radiation, oh

    Love breaks the machine,
    Everything's half apart what can it mean?
    How can I trust my fractious heart
    Knowing I have the enemy gene?
    Ooh, love breaks the machine,
    Everything's half a dream, how can it be?
    Everything's born in shame, it's not just me,
    Particle way duality
    How can we ever evolve when our gods are so primitive?
    They destroy the film

    They want to disable my system,
    Looking for traces of a clean hit
    If the end of the world has ever happened this must be it
    I've grown too strong, that's what they said,
    To keep my animal spirit
    It empties me, now I'm vacant

    Love breaks the machine, everything's half apart, what can it mean?
    How can I trust my fractious heart knowing I have the enemy gene?
    Oh, love breaks the machine, everything's half a dream, how can it be?
    Everything's born in shame, it's not just me, particle way duality

    I know that we'll never survive this little victory
    Love breaks the machine, everything's half apart, what can it mean?
    How can I trust my fractious heart knowing I have the enemy gene?
    Oh, love breaks the machine, everything's half a dream, how can it be?
    Everything's born in shame, it's not just me, particle way duality
    How can we ever evolve when our gods are so primitive?

    They destroy our hope for peace,
    Hope for love, ooh Writer/s: Kevin L Barnes
