Steambird Lyrics

My engine roars to life

I hear the sparks combine

My heart is pumping blood

But I'm devoid of light

I push my hair aside

And my mirror plays a game

Shows me someone I don't know

Show's me a stranger's face

I want the fire and the steam

My smoke obscures my dream

I want enlightenment

I want a life well spent

I want the gears to grind

I want a better mind

The STEAMBIRD sings a dirge

I weep at every word

The chorus like a war

A stab with every chord

Voices I've never known

That's why I like to stay home

I'm nervous all the time

I'm paranoid I think

By think I mean I know

But I can't handle it

Me and I

Are fighting

All the time

And lighting

Every pyre

The funeral of form

And every night

I toss and turn to see

A shadow of myself

That stirs inside of me

I want the fire and the steam

My smoke obscures my dream

I want enlightenment

I want a life well spent

I want the gears to grind

I want a better mind

The STEAMBIRD sings a dirge

I weep at every word

I want the fire and the steam

My smoke obscures my dream

I want enlightenment

I want a life well spent

I want the gears to grind

I want a better mind

The STEAMBIRD sings a dirge

I weep at every word

Don't ask me

What I know

I've been asking

All my life

My list grows shorter

Every day

I'm losing wisdom

All the time
