cockroach wanderlust Lyrics

I live among the dust of a thousand little things

And I pay visits to the carcasses of long gone kings

I can't help but notice from my unique perspective

The recent creatures have elected to escape this world

I live between the cracks of concepts I'll never understand

It's just too much for an insect without hands

In all my wandering days I can't help but see

There's nothing beyond this world worth leaving humanity

I know what it's like to walk a long, long way from home

I know what it's like to love so big you cannot know

I know what it's like to die in a place you're so alone

And I'll never forget that sight, a mangled mess of wires

Wanderlust, unto rust

The skeleton

Icarus, overzealous

A monument

Wanderlust, unto rust

For batteries

Icarus, overzealous

And heaven

I found an obelisk spilling out its machine heart

Kidneys and copper bits cannot be picked apart

Sinew lay rotten fused with acid and silver

A horrid sight no doubt and a painful way to go

I found an ancient grave that tells a tragic tale

One filled with broken views and code that's bound to fail

He chose to take the plunge into a whole new life

But like the rest of them, regret wouldn't leave at night

I know what it's like to walk a long, long way from home

I know what it's like to love so big you cannot know

I know what it's like to die in a place you're so alone

And I'll never forget that sight, a mangled mess of wires

Wanderlust, unto rust

The skeleton

Icarus, overzealous

A monument

Wanderlust, unto rust

For batteries

Icarus, overzealous

And heaven

I loo-

I look out upon a skyline full of gray

With every passing year it bears increased decay

They never meant to leave this sad city this way

Except when the scientist transforms into a deity

I look out upon a ghost town like a void

Not even spirits hang around their corpse alloyed

I do at times hear something that interests me

Can you hear the faint hum of electricity?
