Angels or Machines

[Verse 1]
I was sent to you to put things right
And I wanted to help you to put things right
So I blocked out the sun and neglected the moon
And all of my angels were given to you, oh to you

[Verse 2]
So I bled what I could for you, sucked out the blood
Tore off my flesh and the rest of what's good
I broke every bone and drained all the marrow
I splintered myself for all your tomorrows
And I twisted my spine and I shattered my skull
Now who is the angel and are we eternal?

[Chorus]
Oh, keep your love alive, keep the one you love alive
Oh, I'm a believer and believe me we need your kind
And I don't want to die, god please, I don't want to die!
Breathe what you inspire, my bones will riot!
Keep your love alive, keep the one you love alive
Oh, I'm a believer and believe me we need your kind
And I don't want to die, god please I don't want to die!
Breathe what you inspire, my bones will riot!

[Verse 3]
But I cut off my nose to spite your embrace
And I blinded myself so you could see grace
I did all I could for you, gave you my life
Withstood all the pain, took the blame for what good?
Oh, what good?

[Verse 4]
And when all that was left was my heart and my tongue
A few spare things and one black lung
I looked under my skin for the last bits of human
But all I could find was some dust and a tumor
And I twisted my spine and I shattered my skull
Now who is the angel and are we eternal?

[Chorus]
Oh, keep your love alive, keep the one you love alive
Oh, I'm a believer and believe me we need your kind
And I don't want to die, god please, I don't want to die!
Breathe what you inspire, my bones will riot!
Keep your love alive, keep the one you love alive
Oh, I'm a believer and believe me we need your kind
And I don't want to die, god please I don't want to die!
Breathe what you inspire, my bones will riot!

[Bridge]
For running, for empire
Forgive me for us
For running, for empire
Forgive me for us
For running, for empire
Forgive me for us
Forgive me, oh

[Chorus]
Oh, keep your love alive, keep the one you love alive
Oh, I'm a believer and believe me we need your kind
And I don't want to die, god please, I don't want to die!
Breathe what you inspire, my bones will riot!
Keep your love alive, keep the one you love alive
Yes, I'm a believer and believe me we need your kind
And I don't want to die, god please I don't want to die!
Breathe what you inspire, my bones will riot!
