The Natural Heart

A fading neon gleam casts shadows over stone

The city's shining skin is shedding from the bone

I've gone from pillar to pariah in the slide

In seas of doubt, I swim against the turning tide

Broken bodies line the walls

Midas empires crash and fall

Wings that melt when we try to soar

Close my eyes as I descend

To the gold rush at it's end

Take me back to before

This isn't human anymore

Look into the natural heart

Following the beat of the chemical

This isn't human anymore

Tearing the connections apart

Fallen at the feet of our pedestals

Are you still human at the core?

Pushin' the reflex, pressure the defects

Breakin' down is inevitable

Spraining the rivets, straining the limits

Breakin' down is inevitable

The ghosts of order dot the eye and tilt the three

I stalk the trinity into conspiracy

They painted masterworks and set them all alight

The scars of persecution always harden into spite

Broken bodies line the walls

Midas empires crash and fall

Wings that melt when we try to soar

Close my eyes as I descend

To the gold rush at it's end

Take me back to before

This isn't human anymore

Look into the natural heart

Following the beat of the chemical

This isn't human anymore

Tearing the connections apart

Fallen at the feet of our pedestals

Are you still human at the core?

Look into the natural heart

Don't let it turn to stone

Are you still human at the core?

Look into the natural heart

Don't let it turn to stone

Pushin' the reflex, pressure the defects

Breakin' down is inevitable

Spraining the rivets, straining the limits

Breakin' down is inevitable

Pushin' the reflex, pressure the defects

Breakin' down is inevitable

Spraining the rivets, straining the limits

Breakin' down is inevitable
