*engine starting*

[Verse]
I remember myself as a boy
In the yard playin' cars
I played loose fitting clothes
Still feel that obsolete joy
When the weather got hotter
We got out the water hose

[Pre-Chorus]
I wore my shirt in the pool back then
I was afraid to be seen

[Chorus]
I've been trying to build a machine
That can convert shame into celebration
I'll go back in time and reclaim my name

[Verse]
I remember myself as a teen
Would just stand near the band with my hands towards the sky
Embarrassed of еverything
Lucky for love recеived from an invisible guy

[Pre-Chorus]
Stained by generational sin
I did not deserve good things
[Chorus]
I've been trying to build a machine
That can convert shame into celebration
I'll go back in time and reclaim my name

[Verse]
I've been collecting spare parts from old cars
That are long since out of operation
And scraps of old steel
The frames of used wheels that feel tired of personification

[Chorus]
I'm trying to build a machine
That can convert shame into celebration
I'll go back in time and reclaim my name

[Verse]
I remember when I was still Kyle
The kids called me "cow" even now I grind teeth
Grandma said that I looked fat
From her perch on the porch looking side eyed at me

I wish I could visit that memory now
And give him a set of the keys
To a makeshift and duct taped machine
That can convert shame into celebration
We could dance to the music it screams
In a cacophonic orchestration
[Outro]
Go back in time and reclaim my name
Go back in time and reclaim my name
