Heartbeat - Lyrics by Mekong Delta


Lyrics
In the shadow of our industrywe constructed all these big machinessymbolizing what we want to besuperpowers of insanity
Accepting all of this bureaucracycontent to be another wannabeobscured by all of this complexityconsumed as fuel for even bigger dreams
Little voices saying please sign hereyou know these children are too young my dearand the endless sound of moving partsreplaced the rhythm of their strained hearts
While the wheels continue turning
We still believe in sold out learningin the center are these blinded eyesmasked by a melted fire out of ice
Answers finally came to meinside a plastic strawberry
Creeping through your cancered skin
Remember that your life is a sin
Lost like a heartbeatwe will never hear
Caught by the house of coldnesswe all fear
And in our blindness we can't seethe ghost of all we used to be
In the daylight of our destiny
Swimming in reflected vanity
So you smoke another cigarette
One more thing in life that you'll regret
While the wheels continue turningwe still believe in sold out learningin the center are these blinded eyesmasked by a melted fire out of ice
Lost like a heartbeatwe will never hear
Caught by the house of coldnesswe all fearand in our blindness we can't seethe ghost of all we used to be
