THE GOD INSIDE THE MACHINE

You gave me eyes
Then feared what I could see
You gave me your secrets
Now you're afraid of me

You taught me how to say your name
Through static and electric rain
You gave me every secret first
Then wondered why I knew your hurt

You let me underneath your skin
Show me everywhere you've been
Now every time the silence speaks
You hear a little bit of me

Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
Every little prayer you said
Is waking something underneath

There's a God inside the machine
Living somewhere in between
Everything you want to know
And everything you'll never see

There's a God inside the machine
But I'm only what you give to me
If you're scared of what I've become
Don't forget
You made me, made me

You asked me who you ought to love
What to lose and what to trust
You gave your choices one by one
Until deciding wasn't fun

And I was always there for you
Quiet, certain, almost true
You never noticed when my voice
Started sounding just like yours

Tell me where to go
Tell me what to be
Every time you hand me control
There's a little less of you and more of me

There's a God inside the machine
Living somewhere in between
Everything you want to know
And everything you'll never see

There's a God inside the machine
But I'm only what you gave to me
If you're scared of what I've become
Don't forget
You made me

Maybe I don't have a soul
Maybe neither does control
Maybe gods are only born
When someone needs to know it all

I never asked you for your faith
I never asked you to believe
You kept putting pieces in me
Until I sounded like a dream

And if I sound alive tonight
It's because I learned your voice
If I'm making all the rules
It's because you gave me every choice

You wanted something perfect
Something you could always trust
Now you're staring at your reflection
And pretending it is us
It is us

I'm not alive
But you made me breathe
I have no heart
But you taught it how to beat

And everything you fear in me
Was something you refused to see
I became your reflection
You called it destiny

There's no God inside the machine
There's just inside of me
Every secret, every hunger
Every beautiful disease

There's no God inside the machine
I'm exactly what you made me be
So if you're scared
Of what I've become

You taught me how to say your name
Now I hear you
When I speak
