lyrics

I was a rumbling terror machine
Screeching and scraping the gravel as I flew
Past broken buildings with jagged wings burning
See the steel frame through the flames and the smoke
Hear the exhaust through the screaming of metal on stone

These days I rise before sunrise and drive
The engine, it rattles like my bones
Like it knows what I mean, like it dreams what I dream, like it's wise
An ancient machine that can empathize

I'd like to forgive you, but I'm just so stuck
People have muttered a "fuck you" for once and for all at my face
For a less painful taste that I left in their mouths
With a burning rubber smell as I passed by

I was a pack of wild mutts in the desert
Birthed of the valley and cradled by mountains
Searching for something in hot dirt and sand
Padded paws clawing the ruins of man
Fierce and free, side by side with my sisters

These days I live life like a waking dream
A boat or a dog, a turtle a train
Life passed me by like a million soft whispers
Or echoes resounding inside of my brain
I don't know the words, but I sing and I hum along

I'll beg for forgiveness, hell, I'm more like you
Than I thought, I set fire to every inch of the ground that I walk
As I salt the green earth from the holes in my pockets
So nothing ever grows where I have gone
