Broken Machine

He collects the remnants of their desire
With best intentions left wasted in suspended animation

But their past home was gone
And their longing reborn
He had no time to dwell on the problems ahead
Reset the watch
Advance across
Time to time I've had to deal with loss

Mine away and feign indifference
A grander plan is afoot
He sees stoically that some trials are lost
They're swept away in one breath

Do you think that he stops? Yet he searches for what?
And the drills they relentlessly grapple with zeal
Deadlock. Misplace. Erase. Take stock

Sometimes you just need to adjust

It's not the end of the world
But you're acting so strangely
Is it catharsis I seek?

Still their past home was gone and their longing reborn
He had no time to dwell on the problems ahead
Reset the watch
Advance across
(Reset the watch)
(Advance across)
Such risks will come and go at a cost
