Machine Head
Catharsis
[Intro]
You're there to watch me crumble

[Verse 1]
I feel so empty and alone, I wonder
If this is ever going to go away
'Cause now this changes everything

[Pre-Chorus]
Smash all your sacred cows
Break all your sacred vows
Never look down on me
What you get, what you see
I could never be
Another brick in the wall
You'll remember me
As you break all our spirits down
And push us to the ground
Call me a fool with a gasoline can
Burn it fucking down
Start it over and over again

[Chorus]
Whenever I fall
If ever at all
You're there to watch me crumble
And just like a muse
A drug I abuse
You're there to watch me crumble
[Post-Chorus]
But you won't get your chance

[Verse 2]
And so, I sink into the grey horizon
I'm never going to let you say, "I can't"
I'll never let you beat me to the ground

[Pre-Chorus]
So, can you see the hunger in my eyes?
Take a look, it's no disguise
Got to crush my struggles
Crush the pain and the strife
Live or die, I'm gonna fight for my life tonight

[Chorus]
Whenever I fall
If ever at all
You're there to watch me crumble
And just like a muse
A drug I abuse
You're there to watch me crumble

[Post-Chorus]
But you won't get your chance
You'll never get your chance
[Bridge 1]
The only thing keeping me sane:
The music in my veins
And if these words are my fists
Can you feel my catharsis?

[Bridge 2]
Can... you... feel my catharsis
Oh, come on
Can... you... feel my catharsis
The only thing keeping me sane:
The music in my veins
And if these words are my fists
This is my catharsis

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Whenever I fall
If ever at all
You're there to watch me crumble
And just like a muse
A drug I abuse
You're there to watch me crumble

Whenever I fall
If ever at all
You're there to watch me crumble
And just like a muse
A drug I abuse
You're there to watch me crumble
[Post-Chorus]
But you won't get your chance
You'll never get your chance

[Bridge]
The only thing keeping me sane:
The music in my veins
And if these words are my fists
Can you feel my catharsis?
Can you feel my catharsis?
Oh, come on
Can you feel my catharsis?

[Outro]
The only thing keeping me sane:
The music in my veins
And if these words are my fists
This is my catharsis!
