The drum beats like machine gun. It's cold, unforgiving. Eerie.

Machine Gun, by Portishead, in 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 realise that I'm,
Only for me.

if only I could see,
You turn myself to me,
and recognise 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.
recognise the poison in my heart.
there is no other place,
no one else I face.
The remedy, to agree, is how I feel.
