Use A− / A+ to adjust text sizeThe Empty Dream Machine (Feat. Black Thought, Johnny Marr & Anoushka Shankar)
The promises we madeThey clock us in at nightAnd check us outIn the daylightBut nothing lasts foreverThe feeling from beforeWas so much more aliveThan anyone knewThe empty dream machine without youMan chained inside his mind's warAgain I fearIt's dark and angelsAre present, here for realAnd silence fallsOn this dressI thought I caught my life straightI thought I changed itBut it seemedI've been crawling latelyI've prayed, I've cried, don't let me fallI'm a chasing manI feel this painI feel this transitionBut I don't know what to sayRelease me nowAn empty dream machine without youIn the ashes, singIn the ashes we acquire honor from itA heart driven by the drum is what I borrow from itIn the shadow we light it at nightUntil tomorrow comesProtection from cloves, cinnamon and cardamomMy child was a masala son, a harder oneMy brainchild from little one to martyrdomGave the bug to the inspiration we armored fromStay wrapped tightLike a chrysalis planted in the palm of my handLike it's a callus on the mountaintop of a wonderlandLike it was alice and every blood vessel expandsForbidden talents throwing tantrums downwardKind of taking my last standWhen I was humbled and they tried to swing meThe backhand part of the pendulumAnd do me like I'm a black manBlack like spiritBlack like christianOr black like a deity trapped like a prisonerIt's a rap like chiba rolled into the rizzlaWhen you black like evil d or black like sizzlaI need you on my teamThe vision is distortedI love you in my colorsFloating up above youI try to get right to youI need you on my teamI need you by my side, girlI need you on my teamAutomatic red lightLove you in that colorI need you on my team, girlYou know that I'm above youI need you on my team, girlI need you on my teamThis vision is distortedI need you on my teamFloating up above youEmpty dreaming sceneAnd when I look upI'll be coming home'Cause I need you on my teamLove you in that colorLet your dream machineI need you on my teamOn the mighty green lightLove you in that colorI need you on my team, girlI need you on my teamAutomatic with lifeThe empty dream machine without you
