Bloodless

this train don’t stop at the stations of the cross
no reasons left to believe
trying to stay awake gave yourself
a caffeine headache
to hide the taste of sleep
in choosing to forget you cut away
the safety net that holds your heart,
holds your heart
and you go in search of youth
touching up your empire roots
but these days we don’t know how to march
satisfied with a knife in your spine
you’re bloodless
so tell me again what am I feeling
you know me so well
so what am I feeling and how can you tell
I’ve got a feeling you don’t know
we think that we’re the ones
we’re the bright unconquered suns
wait a while we’ll watch the light
grow stale
and we smell so very clean but
we’re the oil in this machine
and this machine
this machine is going wrong
so choose your sides when it comes
to the fight you’re bloodless
so tell me again what am I feeling
you know me so well
so what am I feeling and how can you tell
I’ve got a feeling you don’t know
you choose your side but in the fight I see
your blood run white, your blood run
white
and I’ve seen it all before
and I see it again
and I see it again
so what am I feeling
you know me so well
so what am I feeling and how can you tell
I’ve got a feeling you don’t know
so tell me again now what am I feeling
you know me so well
so what am I feeling and how can you tell
I’ve got a feeling
so tell me again now what am I feeling
you know me so well
so what am I feeling and how can you tell
I’ve got a feeling you don’t know
