Machinery by Wet & Reckless
Lyrics by Emily Wilder

Someone said to me,
It takes scissors to cut you free
It takes a sword to put up a fight
And a vise grip to squeeze you at night.

Without epoxy to hold it in place,
You break down and it shows on your face
Just when your head's coming lose
You need a screwdriver to put back the screws.

Build around our own machinery
That pumps blood from our head to our feet
Build reinforcement where there shouldn't be
Where they shouldn't be.

You need a yellow light to make love last
If it turns red, then you're just stuck in the past
You need satellites to show that you care
Cause gas prices won't get you there

Sentence years for misunderstood words
Locked up in fences, trapped in skyscrapers
From up there you can't see the same way
So you tear down all the things that you made.

Build around our own machinery
That pumps blood from our head to our feet
Build reinforcement where there shouldn't be
Where they shouldn't be.

We're humans, we make plans and machines
Hands holding tools, building bigger things
Stone walls around hearts make them cold
Keep in flaws and keep out what we don't know.

So break down your chest levee
Let sea be where the sea be
Lose the difference between you and me
Cause we are both trying hard to believe.

Build around our own machinery
That pumps blood from our head to our feet
Build reinforcement where there shouldn't be
Where they shouldn't be.

We're both trying hard, trying hard to believe
That there's pockets of love
And there's pockets of good

But you got to get hurt.

We're both trying hard, trying hard to believe
That there's pockets of love
And there's pockets of good.

But you got to get hurt.
