My Dying Machine

Why give orders?

Why give speeches?

No more questions

No more answers

All that's left is the fear

I can feel they're here

I can feel the cold

I can't fight for long

This machine runs down

If I had a picture

I could say it's all for you.

Why give orders?

And why make speeches?

Give me a reason to stay

This dying machine

I can hear me scream

I've nowhere to run

I've nowhere to hide

I can only wonder

I can only wonder why

Why give orders?

And why make speeches?

Give me a reason to die

This shape comes apart

Everything breaks down

And me, I'm trapped inside

And here inside it ends.

There's nothing I can do

There's nothing I can do now

If I had a picture

I could say it's all for you

I can only wonder

I can only wonder why.
