Lie! Turn around, they might be watching And you never disappoint them Hide your innocence before they see right through You mustn't disappoint them You need the danger just to feel your heart beat You need to die just to find your identity You need a knife just to know that you can bleed You need the pain now just to feel anything We fall in line, we live the lie (Give up give up and feed the machine) It grows inside, nowhere to hide (Give up give up and feed the machine Give up give up and feed the machine) They pull you faster the cadence is calling And you never fall behind So choose a face you're only calling out You mustn't fall behind You need another death just to have a life to save You need a master just so you can beg You need a light just because you're so afraid Now bow and learn to be a good slave We fall in line, we live the lie (Give up give up and feed the machine) It grows inside, nowhere to hide (Give up give up and feed the machine Give up give up and feed the machine) Sleep Go back to sleep Go back to sleep Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake, up! We fall in line, we live the lie (Give up give up and feed the machine) It grows inside, nowhere to hide (Wake up wake up and kill the machine) Wake up wake up and kill the machine
