lyrics

Of all the things in my head
it's the first thing that you said
A muscle like you'd never seen before

A secondary gland
I was putty in your hand
Photosynthesize my beating heart

I was much too young to try it
but they made it seem so violent
Left my soul and body at the plate
It was all on autopilot
to forget about the science
Lets knock down the doors of heaven's gate

God, what does it mean?
Falling in love with a machine
It feels like open books and open doors

I swear it's not obscene
but it's not like on the big screen
buckle up my hands and do the chores

I wish I knew the name
this doesn't feel the same
something that I didn't want to know

I was much too young to try it
but they made it seem so violent
Left my soul and body at the plate
It was all on autopilot
to forget about the science
Lets knock down the doors of heaven's gate

Now I'm feeding from a tube again
Someone tells me how I really am
All disgrace for the savior man
It's a long long long way down

I was much too young to try it
but they made it seem so violent
Left my soul and body at the plate
It was all on autopilot
to forget about the science
Lets knock down the doors of heaven's gate
