Our Velocity

I'm not a man, I'm a machine Chisel me down until I am clean I buy books, I never read And then I'll tell you some more about me Beneath the concrete there's a sound A muffled cry below the ground There is a poison in the air A mix of chemicals and fear My words are just hunches I'm not sure what they mean You're asking for commitment When I'm somewhere in between Never, never try to gauge temperature When you tend to travel at such speed It's our velocity Is it cold where you are this time of the year? You didn't leave a scar A stream of numbers hit a screen And you're expected to know what they mean Throughout the conflict I was serene I can't outrun the sadness I've seen Are you willing to resist For people you've never met? The devil's wheel revolves But it needs to be reset Never, never try to gauge temperature When you tend to travel at such speed It's our velocity Please tell me Is it cold where you are this time of the year? You didn't leave a scar I've got no one to call In the middle of the night anymore I'm just alone with these thoughts I've got no one to call In the middle of the night anymore I'm just alone with my thoughts I watched a film to change my feelings I'm strong enough to bear a burden If everyone became this sensitive I wouldn't have to be so sensitive If everyone became so sensitive Perhaps I wouldn't be so sensitive Love is a lie Which means I've been lied to Love is a lie Which means I've been lying too Love is a lie Which means I've been lied to Love is a lie I've got no one to call In the middle of the night anymore I'm just alone with these thoughts I've got no one to call In the middle of the night anymore I'm just alone with my thoughts Never, never try to gauge temperature When you tend to travel at such speed It's our velocity
