Fog Machines

(album: Into The Past - 2022)

I hate to say it but I think about you all the time
I live inside the darkest corners of our conversation
My head is vacant when I try to picture you and I
I know I'm on my own, I'll never make it out

I remember way back when, when I was on your side
You were an idol in my eyes
I would never say that then 'cause I couldn't decide
If it was only a disguise
I'll never let them take my head
The fog is thick inside
It's been haunting me tonight
I still remember days I spent
In fear of a device
That could take away your mind

The Combine knows
That's why I've been keeping one eye open
Every day they see your spotlight grow
I hate to think that I'll be on my own when
They take you down

I hate to say it but I think about you all the time (I hate that)
I live inside the darkest corners of our conversation (I can't see)
My head is vacant when I try to picture you and I (When they turn on)
I know I'm on my own, I'll never make it out (Those machines)

I've been sleeping with my headphones on
I swore I heard your laughter but it's been so long
Since I could find my peace with every word that's gone
I learned to love these shockwaves that distort what's right from wrong

They know
That's why I've been keeping one eye open
They don't need evidence when hearsay grows
I hate to think that I'll be on my own when
They take you down

I hate to say it but I think about you all the time (I hate that)
I live inside the darkest corners of our conversation (I can't see)
My head is vacant when I try to picture you and I (When they turn on)
I know I'm on my own, I'll never make it out (Those machines)

(The Combine knows)
I'm fading ignorantly into the past
(That's why I've been keeping one eye open)
My head's returning with afflictions attached
(Everyday they see your spotlight grow)
I made a covenant that I still regret
(I hate to think that I'll be on my own when)
I got my freedom but they got your head
(They take you down)

I hate that
I can't see
When they turn on
Those machines
