Lyrics

I'm a well oiled machine
And I work in ways unseen
In cities in-between
I'm a passive riverbed
But I don't pass through your head

She's got me wrapped around her
I don't work the way I used to, for all I know to be true

Never have I seen it, in all my years of dying
You tempt me like a siren
And I'm a dull and dirty diamond
I shouldn't even have to choose
If you're my love or you're my muse
I'm a fool to feel love, I do
And it's you I'm looking through

Having plans to clean my room
And when I do, I'll make it new
But I know that isn't true
The pillows and blankets are you
The pictures are there too

She's got her own apartment
It ain't got a ledge like mine but I feel outside all the time

Never have I seen it across multiple years of dying
You tempt me like a siren
And I'm a dull and dirty diamond
There comes a day when I have to choose
And you'll look into me, how I look through you
I'm a fool to feel love, I do
And you torment me in two

I can never write what I say next
Hieroglyphics in a lyrical context, I make them sound like less
I'm a well oiled machine and I need some rest
