Open eyes adjusting to the dark
 The growlin' of machinery
 Can't say if it's night or day
 And you know, somewhere in there you know
 There will be a price to pay 'til all this goes away

 So we walk the empty halls, the dirty walls
 We smear our names in them
 Dirt we find beneath our nails
 Can't be [bad word] from our tired hands, never clean

 We're never clean
 We're never clean

 Walk the halls, soot along the walls
 Some will smear their names in it
 While some just go away
 And you know, somewhere in there you know
 There's nothing here but surviving 'til something goes away

 But through the cracks in this machine
 We see the light, we see the sun dissolve
 And we feel the pulse of life
 better life on the other side, and we wait

 And so we wait
 And so we wait

 Time is lost, found cracks along my bones
 This metal god is all I know
 Now something's gone away
 And you know, somewhere in there you know

 Our blood's in the machinery
 Our heart's in the machinery

 And that's what went away
