[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
Your blades are sharpened with precision
Flashing your favorite point of view
I know you're waiting in the 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

[Hook: Mike Shinoda]
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 hoping for what I won't receive
Falling for the promise of the emptiness machine, The Emptiness Machine

[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
Yesterday, somebody whacked out my mural
That energy'll make you n***as move to Europe
But it's regular for me, yeah, that's for sure
Fuck apologies, I wanna see y'all geeked up
Don't acknowledge me then maybe we can say it's fair
Take it to the internet and I'ma take it there
Miss my uncle Lil' Mane, he said that he would kill me if I didn't make it
Now I'm possessed by a spirit and they can't take it
Used to bump Tha Carter III, I held my Rollie chain proud
Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down
Whatever though, call me crazy, everybody questionable
Turn me to an Eskimo, I drew the line and decimals
Snoop posted Taylor Made, I prayed it was the edibles
I couldn't believe it, it was only right for me to let it go
Won the Super Bowl and Nas the only one congratulate me
All these n***as agitated
[Hook: 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 hoping for what I won't receive
Falling for the promise of the emptiness machine

[Bridge: 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

[Hook: 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 hoping, so fucking naive
Falling for the promise of the emptiness machine, The emptiness machine (I only wanted to be part of something)
The emptiness machine (I only wanted to be part of)
The emptiness machine
