Jensen McRae - Machines (Lyric Video)

Description

Listen to my debut album "Are You Happy Now?": https://orcd.co/areyouhappynow

LYRICS:
I found wings in my attic
one more superpower I’ve outgrown
my brother has basketball practice
I’m going to hit on the coach

I saw Jesus Christ in a bookstore
he looked burdened with all that belief
he cut me in line without remorse
said we’re all powering the same machine

oh, grew up and learned the cost
oh, I can’t sleep this one off
now I know that I bleed months
oh, but I was a machine once

I got drunk for the first time
or as drunk as my brain would permit
I swayed beside a stuffed lion
and briefly loved a scientist

I think I saw God in the bathroom
some pretty girl was holding her hair back
and I offered her fistfuls of tissues
she bit back tears and told me not to do that

oh, grew up and learned the cost
oh, I can’t sleep this one off
now I know that I bleed months
oh, but I was a machine once

I saw this boy in a nightmare
after I passed him on campus
you know, the one I’m still scared of
even though nothing happened
I shudder at what might have happened
growing up is bad dreams put in practice

oh, grew up and learned the cost oh...
oh, grew up and learned the cost oh, I can’t sleep this one off
now I know that I bleed months oh, but I was a machine once
