Oh Lord (Machine Shop)
[Intro] Yeah... How do you fix a heart that you didn’t even know was broken? Asking for a friend... or maybe just the ghost of me. [Verse 1] Look, I’m staring at the ceiling, counting every single crack Funny how the weight of nothing keeps pushing on my back I’m a prisoner to a memory, a victim of a "maybe" Trying to find the light, but the shadows look like safety I gave you every piece, then you left me with the debris Now I’m sweeping up the dust of the person I used to be Depression isn't loud, no, it’s a quiet, steady hum It’s the feeling of the freezing while you’re staring at the sun I’m reaching for the surface, but the water’s getting cold They say that time heals, but I think I’m just getting old... Yeah, I’m just getting old. [Chorus] Oh Lord, can You hear the sound? Of a heart hitting the floor when there’s no one around? I’m tired of the cycle, I’m tired of the pain Trying to find the fire while I’m standing in the rain! Oh Lord, give me something real 'Cause I’ve forgotten how it feels... to actually feel. (Heavy guitar beat drop) [Machine Shop Verse] Machine Shop mindset, gears grinding in my chest, Built out of sleepless nights, yeah, pressure made me blessed. Hood up, face shadowed, I don’t flex what I survive, Some battles stay internal just to prove I’m still alive. Static in my headphones, thoughts clashing like steel, Every doubt tried to rust me, I refused to let it seal. I was handed broken parts, told, “Make something that runs,” So I learned how to rebuild when the damage was done. I don’t talk about the pain unless it teaches a lesson, Every loss left a scar, every scar left a question. Was I meant to be quiet? Was I meant to be loud? Found my voice in the echo of a nowhere crowd. I’ve been buried in expectations, dug myself out with grit, Turned the weight on my shoulders into plates that I lift. If the world wants a mask, I’ll give ‘em cold steel, I don’t fake how I’m hurting, I just sharpen what’s real. Blueprints made of failures, still the frame standing tall, I don’t fold when it’s heavy, I evolve through it all. They said, “Slow down,” but I learned pace from the grind, One bolt at a time, I been fixing my mind. I don’t pray for shortcuts, I respect every mile, Even storms got a purpose if you walk through ‘em awhile. So when the rain hits the concrete, hear the engine ignite— Machine Shop still moving forward, yeah, I’m built for the fight. [Verse 3] I wake up, I stand up, I look in the mirror The fog in the glass is finally getting clearer It’s not about the "him" or the "her" or the "them" It’s about the "me" I lost and finding it again Yeah, the depression’s a mountain, but I’m learning how to climb One heavy step, one day at a time I’m not "fixed," no, I’m still a work in progress But I’m finally moving forward, I’ll confess... I’m finally moving forward. [Chorus] Oh Lord, can You hear the sound? Of a heart hitting the floor when there’s no one around? I’m tired of the cycle, I’m tired of the pain Trying to find the fire while I’m standing in the rain! Oh Lord, give me something real 'Cause I’ve forgotten how it feels... to actually feel. [Outro] To feel... I’m getting over it. I’m getting over you.
