Today's song is the second song that played from my playlist this morning. The Emptiness Machine by Linkin Park. This song is so catchy and again, once I hear it, it's stuck in my head most of the day. Definitely a good thing since I really do like Linkin Park with their new sing Emily Armstrong.

[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 pullin' 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
It's been decided how we lose
'Cause there's a fire under the altar
I keep on lyin' to, I keep on lyin' to
