Machine Gun

Portishead · Third [2008]

I saw a saviour,

a saviour come my way.

I thought I'd see it

at the cold light of day.

But now I realize that I'm

Only for me.



If only I could see

You turn myself to me,

and recognize the poison in my heart.

There is no other place,

no one else I face.

Remedy, we'll agree, is how I feel.



Here in my reflecting,

What more can I say?

For I am guilty

for the voice that I obey.

Too scared to sacrifice a choice

chosen for me.



If only I could see

You turn myself to me,

Recognize the poison in my heart.

There is no other place,

no one else I face.

The remedy, to agree, is how I feel.
