Lord have mercy
Please forgive me
I'm just doing what it takes to survive
Who can blame me
They always take me
They fucking rape me
Now I'm everything that I didn't want
But was made to be
Close your eyes
Don't ask why
Live a lie
You just feed the machine
Going down
Spinning round
Gagged and bound
You just feed the machine
They know how to break me
Then forsake me
Play on every one of my fears
It's so easy
They self-abuse me
Spin and confuse me
From the very day that I was born
Write my destiny
Blow your mind
Running blind
By design
You just feed the machine
Take the pain
Kill your brain
Wear the chain
You just feed the machine
Lord have mercy
Please forgive me
I'm a prisoner in my own mind
Look what they've done to me
My world is empty
Totally crazy
They sell me counterfeit paradise
And tell me it's liberty
Take your turn
Crash and burn
Never learn
Feel the fear
Shed a tear
It's so clear
You just feed the machine
You just feed the machine
