Beneath the Machine

Start the needle up again as I crawl to the chair Anticipate the pain Feel the charge in the air, sick fascination Can't wash away this alteration Beneath the machine Constant noise inside my head Trading blood for ink, into torture I will sink Beneath the machine again Sometimes a picture to make heads turn Sometimes a badge of honor earned Always a reminder of pain endured Never a way to say these words Beneath the machine Constant noise inside my head Trading blood for ink, into torture I will sink Beneath the machine again Just remember It's all for time By skin be judged, with my skin define Beneath the machine Constant noise inside my head Trading blood for ink, into torture I will sink Beneath the machine again
