lyrics

Leave me be
This is what I deserve
Broken hallways
And empty words

I had a purpose
I had a design
When your puppet doesn’t work right
You set it aside

(Pre-Chorus)
I didn’t know her
I’d never seen her before
And yet when I turned to her
I couldn’t do it anymore

It’s quiet—disturbing
I can still hear her cry
He was only a lowblood
He was always going to die

(Chorus)
I am mechanical
Methodical
I only see detail
I can watch the world from below

It is my legacy
My rightful place
In the glimmer of the moons
But my body is empty
Moonlight bleaches
Mechanical bones

Wander off
It’s a terrible place
I have made myself a castle
To hold my disgrace

Who am I kidding?
I belong alone
There is nothing for me elsewhere
And this my home

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus) x2
