Somewhat Oiled Machine

Its taking so much time to finish what you started
Seems like its your normal routine
Share with the world the life that youve guarded
Tell us all the things that you have seen

We know youve faced it all
The demons from your dreams
I hope to someday find the words
To ask you what they mean

Youre looking for yourself
Untying all your seams
But nothings coming out
Of that overworked machine
Save your breath for later
You might need it then
But all was good and well it seemed

Traded work for play
It was fine while it lasted
But things dont always end the way we planned
You wrestle through your thoughts
Try to poke away your past but
Forgetting doesnt heal it drives us mad

The ringing in your ears
When you try to sleep
Its purpose- to remind you that
Youre just a human being

Youre looking for yourself
Untying all your seams
But nothings coming out
Of that overworked machine
Save your breath for later
You might need it then
But all was good and well it seemed
