Lyrics:
We Take Our Virtues Up In Arms
To Save Ourselves
Tonight Our Fighting Friends Will Stand Here
And Die With Us
Halo, You Mean Nothing To Me
Angel, You Mean Nothing To Me
If I Am The Message
Then You Are The Machine
We'll Wear Our Scars Above Our Arms
And Covered Up
Should We Keep This Open Ended
And Just For Us
Halo, You Mean Nothing To Me
Angel, You Mean Nothing To Me
If I Am The Message
Then You Are The Machine
Just Take A Look At Yourself
You'd See Reflections In All Your Impurities
The Taste, Taste Of A Burnt Tongue
If I Am The Message
Then You Are The Machine
You Mean Nothing To Me
