MOTORHEART (pt1)



true love
false hope
wrapped round
my throat
blood is draining through the cracks
in the machine
it's gotta flow it's gotta go
to keep it clean
(but) every time I loosen up a bolt
it falls to my feet!
and when I open up my eyes
I see I'm in too deep
canary twins
false feet
I fell
too deep
