Tell Me, Mechanist

Tell me, mechanist, is it true?

Does none of it bother you?

Once upon a time

Upon a time behind us

The mechanist inclined

Clockworks of time define us

Who you are, who you are

Merely springs that tick

The time of things away

The cry from the beast is just the noise

Of a spring that you have touched

Not a human, not a voice

If only we could go back to the start

(Tell me, mechanist, is it true)

We would see we're not that far apart

(Does none of it bother you?)

Realize the likeness of our hearts

(Does none of it bother you?)

If we could go back, we could go back

One and the same

Likely to one another

But the mechanist inclined

Merely our kind can suffer

Who you are, who you are

Does it justify

Pleasing your palate

With the other's blood

Tell me why, have the writings on the wall

Nor the dawn of DNA

Changed a single thing at all

If only we could go back to the start

(Tell me, mechanist, is it true)

We would see we're not that far apart

(Does none of it bother you)

Realize the likeness of our hearts

(Does none of it bother you)

If we could go back, we could go back to the start

Closing collision

The end of our divide

Savor the flavor of our ancestry rites

Closing collision

We'll realize in time

No opposition

We're genetically entwined

Tell me, mechanist, is it true?

Does none of it bother you?

Oh, we could go back to the start

(Tell me, mechanist, is it true?)

We would see we're not that far apart

(Does none of it bother you?)

Realize the likeness of our hearts

(Does none of it bother you?)

If we could go back, we could go back to the start
