Linkin Park - The Emptiness Machine / Lyrics

Linkin Park - The Emptiness Machine / Lyrics

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
Your blades are sharpened with precision (Precision)
Flashing your favorite point of view (Point of view)
I know you're waiting in the distance (Distance)
Just like you always do, just like you always do

[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
Already pulling me in, already under my skin
And I know exactly how this ends, I

[Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
Let you cut me open just to watch me bleed
Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be
Don't know why I'm hopin' for what I won't receive
Fallin' for the promise of the emptiness machine
(The emptiness machine)

[Verse 2: Emily Armstrong, Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda]
Goin' around like a revolver (Revolver)
It's been decided how we lose (How we lose)
'Cause there's a fire under the altar (The altar)
I keep on lyin' to, I keep on lyin' to

[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong]
Already pulling me in, already under my skin
And I know exactly how this ends, I

[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
Let you cut me open just to watch me bleed
Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be
Don't know why I'm hopin' for what I won't receive
Fallin' for the promise of the emptiness machine

[Bridge: Mike Shinoda, Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong]
I only wanted to be part of something
I only wanted to be part of, part of
I only wanted to be part of something
I only wanted to be part of, part of
I only wanted to be part of something
I only wanted to be part—

[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
I let you cut me open just to watch me bleed
Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be
Don't know why I'm hopin', so fuckin' naive
Fallin' for the promise of the emptiness machine
The emptiness machine

[Outro: Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong]
(I only wanted to be part of something) The emptiness machine
(I only wanted to be part of) The emptiness machine

All these years later and somehow LP still has a way of saying exactly how I feel.

[danielsipos]

The fire is burning again! This girl is freakin awsome!

[NitoloBo]

Usually when a group changes singers no one likes it, but with Emily they got it right

[AchiToalim]

Chester will always be in our heart but to begin this new era with Emily is incredibly amazing I am listening it on repeat

[FroBruce]

I am fucking obsessed with this song! Emilys voice is unreal aswell!

[fightsNbikes]

MY FAVORITE BAND FROM CHILDHOOD IS BACK!

[dankayur]

Can't say I'm entirely sold on this one yet but Emily is a great fit for the band.

[RalKabbani]

Glad to hear new music for my top band. Emily is doing great 🤘
Her performance reminds me of FINAL Masquerade

[andrenunes]

We have emily armstrong in linkin park before GTA 6

[normaramirez]

When i heard her i cant stop crying to many emotios in my heart i wish Chester was there, but he is gone, he is in peace now.
She is amazing hearing her just makes me feel happy for them, Mike he not just lost his friend, he lost his Brother, his family..
Welcome back🖤

[Koragh_]

the energy of lp is hard to explain sure chester was the main soul but the others are still phenomenal not to mention the best that mike is as songwritter slash producer etcetc and emilis voice is giving the band i newer soun i love it her life performance live tho, the level of chester is way too high even for veteran singers but like matt from three days graces, it will take years for emily to feel comfortable singing chester songs live and adapt her own sound because singing someone else song is always a hard task but her new own song is great tbh

[shelbydrome_]

It was a surprise when I heard that new voice while I was listening to the song on Spotify, but a very nice surprise, she's killing it.

[jdbobadilla]

It doesn't sound bad, but I want to hear more, I need more.

[KSwapTheWorld]

It sounds like this is Mike Talking To Whoever He Sold His Soul To... Its EXACTLY like Everyone's elses songs...

[chaflanful]

POWERFULL LYRICS ALWAYS WILL BE THERE MIKEEEE SHINODAAAA THE BRAIN BEHIND EVERYTHING IN LP

[darkbr]

Ótima música, Emily canta muito, lindo timbre de voz e principalmente a banda voltou que bom.

[maray]

This song comes at the right time bcos this is all what really happens to me right now im bcoming a cleaning person while my skills and talents are being ignored

[KSL]

2:13 sounds like they used a clip of Chester singing. Or is that the combined effect of Emily and Mike?

[jamiecooper]

She's good, but I'm not sold yet. I'm still reeling over Chester. And I don't care if people think I should let go. I won't. At least not for a while longer.

[ExoticKen-brqt]

Although Chester is irreplaceable I really like Emily as a new vocalist for Linkin park.
