Man to Machine

It could be the hunt to tighten screws

Many days of letting them lie loose

But did I turn from man to machine?

I put my money where my mouth is

Spoke about then was about it

You do that?

In the cave with do-dads

And do-hickies

A pile of screws and a plan to move swiftly

Feeling the rush of the rush, rust and empty

Tanks in need of fuel refilling and pumps

I'm rebuilding it up

Time's just never enough, huh?

Working on the power boost

Digging down to the pit of my roots

Quit ain't what we do, nah

Nah, I know that was a little unorthodox

It could be the hunt to tighten screws

Many days of letting them lie loose

But did I turn from man to machine?

Pondering burnout, sincerely, the metal man

Fire is burning cuz I'm worried 'bout Peter Pan

Being left behind, you get it?

Working overtime to silence my inner critic

While still remaining committed

Decided to visit ol' girl's house to reminisce

And take shots, discussing all our progress

Plotting what's next

See the future's got us anxious

Living in the moment's feeling complex

See I...don't wanna be cold and alone at the cross roads

An iron shell for my hell, and I can't decompose

Steady trying to grow

Seeking balance and wisdom hmm

When does progression become a prison hmm?

But listen hmm

I ain't got the answers but I

Got many tools and eye

For how to move and survive

I'll make it count till I die

Been try to fly since like

Twas a kid sketching in science class

Plotting how to defy physics disregard all the math

Losing control on my path

Caught in the moments, I crash

Wake up, sweat, and gasp

Gotta keep calm and relax
