An Autobiography In Vivid Color Pt. 1 - Lyrics - Of Machines

Of Machines is an American post-hardcore band from Atlanta. Formed in 2006, the band was originally known as We Are Kings and changed its name in the year following its formation. The band signed to Rise Records during October 2008 and released its only album, As If Everything Was Held in Place, on March 3, 2009 before disbanding April 19, 2010. However, on January 19, 2013, after many hints that they were re-forming, released a video announcing they are "back together with the original line-up" and will be releasing one last release which is an album titled Chroma Dreamcoat.

Living in recession. It isolates the time that's past by. And it feels so long. I reach for that line I can't hold on, I can't hold on... I can't see what lies beneath the words. Where have I been? Where have I been? Between what rests in my soul and what's given. It will never... it will never weigh the truth. I WONT GIVE UP THIS IS NOT WHERE I STOP. THE TRUTH IT LIES AND THERE IS FAITH BEHIND THE FRAMES. I have a lot riding on this. And I can't afford to give up now. The scene's repeating. I WONT GIVE UP. I'VE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THERE IS NO ESCAPING. And I told you once, And ill tell you again, Secrets are kept By your end And i told you once, And ill told you this When we survive, We only pretend x2 This is the golden rule, Keep what you have. Cuz its all we have left. x4
