Impractical Machine - I Fight Dragons

If this city never sleeps

Then I guess it never dreams

Says the hipster to me

While up above

8 million rise and feed

The impractical machine

Love and death and routine

And soon enough

Everybody’s up and on their way

And leaving me behind

I’m half as far in twice the time

Undefined

Well if I never learn my name

I got no one else to blame

I lost my ticket for the train

Ohhhhh

So tell me where do I go now?

I’m just wandering around

Gaining space and losing ground

Profound and shallow

Profound and shallow

Now if you catch your tail

Did you win or did you fail?

Ask the prophets or the rails

As for me

I think I understand

Somethings slipping through my hands

Lost my list of demands

And now I see

It’s the one way out the only choice the reason for it all:

We long to fly and learn to fall

Well if I never learn my name

I got no one else to blame

I lost my ticket for the train

Ohhhhh

So tell me where do I go now?

I’m just wandering around

Gaining space and losing ground

Profound and shallow

Profound and shallow

Well if I never learn my name

I got no one else to blame

I lost my ticket for the train

Ohhhhh

So tell me where do I go now?

I’m just wandering around

Gaining space and losing ground

Profound and shallow

Profound and shallow

Profound and shallow
