Machinery - Ash

Seemed that time was stuck on me

I was on the slide

Drinking in the lobby bar

Numb desensitized

A surge of electricity

A flicker of insides

Jarred by a magnetic force

Out into the night

The full moon’s coursing in my blood

I’m hurtling downtown

The driver’s moving through the gears

The sparks are raining down

Been asleep for oh so long

Forgot I was alive

Oblivious to the 21st century

Immune to the trappings of luxury

Unconscious of a dark machinery

I’m waking up

Born in the wrong place

Born without your grace

A past I can’t erase

I want you

I want you

Longing in full flow

Lucid afterglow

That I may never know

I need you

The air is thick and charged with heat

As the night descends

The pack is on the hunt for blood

Inflamed by your scent

I never felt your loneliness

Until the day we met

Oblivious to the 21st century

Immune to material anxiety

Blind from narcissistic insecurity

I’m waking up

Born in the wrong place

Born without your grace

A mind in outer space

I want you

I want you

Longing in full flow

Lucid afterglow

That I may never know

I need you

I need you, so

What if I am wrong?

If our chance is gone

If you are moving on

Born in the wrong place

Born without your grace

Can never leave a trace

I want you

I want you

Longing in full flow

Lucid afterglow

That I may never know

I need you

I need you so

I want you

I need you so
