[Verse 1]
It's so quiet and dark
And I shouldn't be here
This machine will last
For always
[Verse 2]
Just my steel friend and me
I stand brave by his side
This machine is all
I live for
[Verse 3]
I can see in your eyes
You're not quite sure about me
This machine is my voice
Please listen
[Verse 4]
Oh it's so noisy and bright
And I just love being here
This machine won't last
For my life
It's so quiet and dark
And I shouldn't be here
This machine will last
For always
[Verse 2]
Just my steel friend and me
I stand brave by his side
This machine is all
I live for
[Verse 3]
I can see in your eyes
You're not quite sure about me
This machine is my voice
Please listen
[Verse 4]
Oh it's so noisy and bright
And I just love being here
This machine won't last
For my life
