careful machine Lyrics

A whistle of wind in the trees

Whisks the dust from the leaves

You wake with the breeze

The rain razed the scene

Racing down from the freeze

Takes it out in the street

A glistening sheen

There is a word for this

And ways to break from its grip

Structure and cleanliness

Read from the script

A careful machine

Plots its path on the screen

It knows where it's been

Takes me to where it was green

Burning fumes and caffeine

Shift in your seat

I feel myself start to slip

Asking how long it's been

A river that slows to a drip

A dense gray mist

The smell of decay's always sweet

It wraps it up nice and neat

Maybe this time won't be so bad

We'll see
