lyrics
Rain drops tapping away at my bones and I creak
The house sways in time
For me to mind
Everything around me
I’m an engine
You pull me
Slowly
When words are worn down and the sounds that I need are visceral
You see now, I’m miserable
I’m an engine
You pull me
Slowly
Breathe into me and I’ll take the life out of you
But when it comes to it, I’ll let you do it
If you want to
I’m an engine
You pull me
Slowly
Out with a whimper, goin 90
On a backroad, I cannot see ahead of me
But you're so agreeable
I can taste the smoke of a thousand years
Aching on your skin
The riches you're used to surface again
I’ll break the stars against you, you’ve won
Fragmented, and dangerous, I’m outdone
When words are worn down and the sounds that I need are visceral
You see now, I’m miserable
The house sways in time
For me to mind
Everything around me
I’m an engine
You pull me
Slowly
When words are worn down and the sounds that I need are visceral
You see now, I’m miserable
I’m an engine
You pull me
Slowly
Breathe into me and I’ll take the life out of you
But when it comes to it, I’ll let you do it
If you want to
I’m an engine
You pull me
Slowly
Out with a whimper, goin 90
On a backroad, I cannot see ahead of me
But you're so agreeable
I can taste the smoke of a thousand years
Aching on your skin
The riches you're used to surface again
I’ll break the stars against you, you’ve won
Fragmented, and dangerous, I’m outdone
When words are worn down and the sounds that I need are visceral
You see now, I’m miserable

Gritty and poignant. I love the imagery and attention to detail in the lyrics that captures that singular experience of growing up in the 'burbs. Quite excellent for screaming along to in the car
