The empty dream machine song lyrics
Promises
The promises we make
They clock us in at night
And check us out the next day
Tired, but not forever so
The feeling of the day before
Was really much more
Than anyone could pray for
Empty dream machine without you
Man's in chains
His mind's at war again, I fear
It's darkened angels are present here for real
And silenced now by this dread
I thought I'd got my life straight
I thought I'd changed it
But it seems I've been crawling lately
I've prayed, I've cried
Don't let me fall
I'm a chastened man
Right now
Right now, I feel this pain
I feel this transition
But I don't know what to say
Release me now
Empty dream machine without you
Listening to Asha sing Dum Maro Dum
We acquire honor from, if but a modicum
A heart driven by the drum is what I borrow from in the shadowy light of the night
Until tomorrow come, protection from clove, cinnamon and cardamum
My chalice wasn't masala, it's something harder, son
My brainchild went from little one to martyrdom
Gave the bug to the inspiration we had caught it from
The armor stay wrapped tight like a chrysalis
There's planets in the palm of my hand like it's a callous
On the mountain top is a wonderland like it was Alice
So every blood vessel expands, forbidden talents
Doing tantric downward, a gold tooth in a trash can
Was the beginning of me kinda' taking my last stand
When I was Wimbledon, they tried to swing me the back hand
Part of the pendulum and do me like I'm a black man
That's black like spirits, black like Krishna
Or black like a deity that's trapped like a prisoner
It's a wrap like chiba, rolled up into the rizla
Empty dream machine without you
When you're black like Evil Dee or black like Sizzla
I need you on my team
I need you on my team
Vision is distorted
I love you in that colour
Floating up above you
I'm trying to get my dream back
Need you on my team
I need you by my side, girl
Need you on my team
No automatic replies
Love you in that colour
I need you on my team, girl
Floating up above you
I need you on my team, girl
Need you on my team
This vision is distorted
I need you on my team
I'm floating up above you
Empty dream machine without you
Look up, I'll recover 'cause I need you on my team
Love you in that colour
An empty dream machine without you
Need you on my team
No automatic replies
Love you in that colour
I need you on my team, girl
Need you on my team
No automatic replies
Empty dream machine without you
