Your blades are sharpened with precision Flashing your favorite point of view I know you're waiting in the distance Just like you always do Just like you always do Already pulling me in Already under my skin And I know exactly how this ends I let you cut me open, just to watch me bleed Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be Don't know why I'm hoping for what I won't receive Falling for the promise of the emptiness machine

You wouldn't be able to tell they were on the end of an hour long set; the amount of energy in their performance. Endurance was one of the many perks of an FBC; so long as one could handle the shock of radical brain surgery. Not that it was a visible thing, how much chrome Bizz had, they sacrificed a lot for a good sculpt to go over their Wiseman.

Going around like a revolver It's been decided how we lose 'Cause there's a fire under the altar I keep on lying to I keep on lying to Already pulling me in Already under my skin And I know exactly how this ends I let you cut me open, just to watch me bleed Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be Don't know why I'm hoping for what I won't receive Falling for the promise of the emptiness machine

They never talked about this song whenever they were asked about it; it wasn't worth the follow up questions. How does someone so vehemently pro freedom contract their body to NUSA? It was a lot more complicated than that, but they weren't famous enough for anyone to hear them out over it. So they just sang their heart out and told people it was about capitalism and greed. Their old team knew and that was enough.

I only wanted to be part of something I only wanted to be part of, part of I only wanted to be part of something I only wanted to be part of, part of I only wanted to be part of something I only wanted to be part

Through the bridge of the song they grew more intense with each loop, seeming to hang onto the mic stand for stability; before finally flinging it against the wall behind the stage as they screamed out the chorus. Good thing they were a solo act.

I let you cut me open, just to watch me bleed Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be Don't know why I'm hoping, so fucking naïve Falling for the promise of the emptiness machine The emptiness machine I only wanted to be part of something The emptiness machine I only wanted to be part of The emptiness machine
