lyrics

I haven’t taken any steady lovers in the past several years,
It kind of makes it hard to track the time,
But I can’t handle somebody always wishing and hoping
That I’ll get well soon.
I’ll get well acquainted myself
With the ache, with the burning conduction through these wires,
The fog cast upon my eyes,
No shock, no more surprise,
‘Cause now I always feel like rustic machinery.
I may look practical, but all that’s inside of me
Feels rusted, worn out and fatigued, fading into scenery.

There are moments when the pungent rain smells like a birth in the decay,
It waters plants and garbage all the same,
I feel myself slip into the sopping, seething abyss of my biology,
Oblivion softer than the ground.
Flow, like a rivulet, hard and cold and clean,
Into a new routine,
Eroding and serene,
Because I’ll always feel like rustic machinery.
I may look practical, but all that’s inside of me
Feels rusted, worn out and fatigued, fading into scenery.

I haven’t taken any steady lovers in the past several years,
It kind of makes it hard to track the time,
But I can’t handle somebody always wishing and hoping
That I’ll get well soon,
I’ll get well acquainted myself.
