lyrics

​I don’t care much for things these days.
I’m out of touch, I’m out of place.
Spending so much time just rattling my brain against the cage. Adjacent to a higher plain.
The engineer upon this train
Needs a spark to start back up the flame.

In a tinderbox I kept my dreams.
Primeval key that starts the steam.
The embers glowed like cackling jack-o-lanterns out on Hallows Eve. “All aboard” I cried unlearned,
My steam powered pachyderm.
As we glided down the veins of the machine.

It’s like finding an expired Valentine.
There might be a little truth left behind.
The body of the message: Out of context, undefined.
A poetry of shambles that’s approximately rhymed.

Restlessness, uneasy dreams.
I’m like a high school girl with a diary.
Pouring out my soul for no one’s eyes, but mine to ever see.
Mona Lisa’s smile was a mystery,
If you overlook the prevailing theme.
Expression is in between the lines you read.

It’s like finding an expired Valentine.
There might be a little truth left behind.
The body of the message: Out of context, undefined.
A poetry of shambles that’s approximately rhymed.

She laid her hands upon my scars.
Treated them like they were awards.
Praised me for my years of service.
I replied, “For what do I deserve this?”
She said, “Have a good night’s sleep”.
All I do is fight and eat.
“Whatever makes your life complete” she spoke for any listening ears to hear.

It’s like finding an expired Valentine.
There might be a little truth left behind.
The body of the message: Out of context, undefined.
A poetry of shambles that’s approximately rhymed.
