Bleeding Machines Lyrics

Breaking like the morning
I've been shining like the sunrise
Beautiful as dawn is
Piercing through the darkness
I'm a light regardless oh
Who can save a godless soul?

All we've been sold is this young fools gold
We trade all we are for the glitter


Shallow waters crash
We become bleeding machines
Shadows and holograms
Baby nothing's what it seems

Shells of what we used to be
Maybe nothing's underneath
The shadows and holograms
We become bleeding machines

Searching for a heartbeat
Check my pulse and make sure I'm alive
Hoping I can find me
Leaving my traditions
Love is my religion oh
I hope that it can save my soul
All we've been sold is this young fools gold
We trade all we are for the glitter

Shallow waters crash
We become bleeding machines
Shadows and holograms
Baby nothing's what it seems
Shells of what we used to be
Maybe nothing's underneath
The shadows and holograms
We become bleeding machines

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
