lirik lagu nobuddyisperfect - the awakening
[verse 1]
the city breathes in unison. an iron lung of steam
each cobblestone, a worn~out cog in a perfectly grinding dream
the gas lamps fl!cker on the dot, they paint the alleyways in gold
and every story’s been written down, and every future has been sold
they wake up with the whistle’s cry, they walk a path of polished brass
they fit the mould, they don’t ask why, they let the moments tick and pass
and i watch them from my window seat… a child of seven, maybe eight…
and feel a beat beneath my feet that doesn’t match the city’s gait
[verse 2]
in school, the master drones of gears
of pressure, force, and thrust
his words are dust motes in my ears
my mind is lost to wanderl~st
i’m not with him, i’m somewhere else
i’m tracing patterns in the grain
of the old wood desk, i’m building worlds
inside a single drop of rain
he’s explaining logic, sequence, fact
the way the world is meant to be
but my thoughts are birds that wheel
and pack and fly away to a different sea
he calls my name, a sudden crack
that shatters all the glass i’ve spun
“boy, are you with us? come on back.”
but i was never with anyone
[chorus]
and this is the awakening, the silent, bitter sting
when you see your own reflection doesn’t fit with anything
they want a gear that turns in line, a spring that’s coiled and clean
but i’m just a ghost inside the great machine…
a ghost n0body’s ever seen
[bridge]
i try to count the ticks… one… two… to keep my thoughts from taking flight
i try to find the faulty screw that made my mind not work a~right
was it a wire that got crossed? a spring wound just a little tight?
i’m searching for the thing i lost… beneath the pale gas lamp light
but i find nothing. just the hum. a current no one else can feel
and the terrifying silence of a world that feels too real
[outro]
this is the awakening… the first cold, lonely dawn…
when you realize the place you’re in… is not where you belong…
just a ghost inside the machine…
all alone…
