Founded in 1992 by former Vio-lence guitarist Robert Flynn and Adam Duce. The first song on their debut album, "Davidian", features the lyrics "Let freedom ring / with a shotgun blast". Subsequently the video was banned from MTV due to its release date being very soon after the Waco Siege which it was apparently describing. Robb Flynn has since said that the song "Davidian" was not written about the Waco Siege but added that line to get people thinking. After their debut album Burn My Eyes (1994) Chris Kontos left to work with Testament and a stand in drummer was used for Machine Head's Donington slot in 1995.

Crashing Around You Lyrics

Machine Head

I am your nightmares, true scares
That dream when you cant stop from falling
Cant fight, cant run
Cant stop the person youve become
I am your heartbreaks, mistakes
That place inside your hate
I am that shadow following every move, reminding you
That its never good enough, never good enough
Even though youll try and try
Im gonna call your bluff
Because I am the thing bringing the feelings when...
Your world comes crashing around you
Smashes down around you
When will you see that you cannot hide from me?
When you feel darkness, hopeless
Cant cope with all the stress
Ill make you hate life bring strife
Remember failures hardened stare
And its never gonna change, never gonna change
Always theyll be judging you
Compared to who and who
You trust in me but I only live to see
Your world come crashing around you
Smash down around you
When will you see that you cannot hide from me?
When I come for you
When I see through you
When I eat through you
When I destroy you
Youll think youre betrayed, astray
Ill leave you ripped and torn so bad you
Cant trust, cant love
Cant understand why lifes so fucked
Im deep inside your mind
In constant remind
If you leave your thoughts to me, believe
Ill make sure that I see
Your world come crashing around you
Smash down around you
When will you see that you cannot hide from me?
Ill make your world come crashing around you
Smash down around you
Ill let you see why cannot hide from me
Because I am you
