"Charlie Machine" lyrics

In order to survive in this world
You must force off traditions
Put pride and pain on the backburner
And with a thousand symphonies at your back
Orchestrate the end

Force off traditions
Dismiss your selfishness
Orchestrate the end
And vanquish your dignity

So hold on just a little bit longer
"Just be strong" but I wish I was stronger
I can't believe this heart's still beating
When it's racing to explode
And let go to the ones that you hold close
Or hold on as you feel them let you go
I can't decide which one is worse or what hurts the most

They've the mercy of a shark
Wildly biting in the dark
Father shed the blood of a son
The real pain has just begun
Dear god

I think I'm ready to let go now of the weight that has held me down
But I'm not sure how...

Anger bound you to an early grave
Crucify your offerings
In the words of saints and allies
"Suffer, surrender, give up"

I said, I said, I said let go!
And put your burdens aside
Speak now and make the world divide
Let go!
Not even god can break you

Hail the face of a ghost, you aren't unspoken
No more burden, pride or pain
Only you can halt this suffering

I think I'm ready to let go now of the weight that has held me down
But I don't know how...

We are the sons of a broken world
Damnation for all the boys and girls
Mistakes with wings, we're nothing short of beautiful
