Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here, you focus
So I can see your faces
The eyes are wrong
How will I know if it's working right?
[Verse 2]
Light confuses
The tiny isles of bruises
The mangled lines
I see the signs of aging
[Bridge]
But if I try to feel at all
I am deceived
My mind's affected
It's empty now
As I lay down, I feel alright
My heart is racing
[Verse 3]
Turn the noise on (Noise on)
I'd like to feed my poison (My poison)
Assembly lines
Carry a velvet warming
To the yard
It's just like striking matches
The polished lies
[Chorus]
But it's working in your blood (Working in your blood)
Which you know is not the same as love
Love is only in your mind (It's only in your mind)
And not your heart
[Refrain]
No, it's working
[Chorus]
It's working in your blood (Working in your blood)
Which you know is not the same as love
Love is only in your mind (It's only in your mind)
Not your heart
[Chorus]
It's working in your blood (Working in your blood)
Which you know is not the same as love
Love is only in your mind (It's only in your mind)
Not your heart
[Chorus]
It's working in your blood (Working in your blood)
Which you know is not the same as love
Love is only in your mind (It's only in your mind)
Not your heart
[Chorus]
It's working in your blood (Working in your blood)
Which you know is not the same as love
Love is only in your mind (It's only in your mind)
Not your heart
