Richard Swift
Simple Machine
[Verse 1]
Static, steady, plastic motions
Lights flash, beating, almost, breathing

[Refrain]
I’ll never find my way back
I’ll never find my way back home

[Verse 2]
Empty, hollow, spit and swallowed
Preachers preaching, courage, ceded

[Refrain]
I’ll never find my way back
I’ll never find my way back home

[Chorus]
So just forget about me
I will get by on myself
I’m not a simple machine
I have become something else

[Refrain]
I’ll never find my way back
I’ll never find my way back home
[Verse 3]
Wise up, scarecrow, this is treason
Coal eyes see it, straw heart beating

[Refrain]
I’ll never find my way back
I’ll never find my way back home

[Chorus]
So just forget about me
I will get by on myself
I'm not a simple machine
I have become someone else

[Refrain]
I’ll never find my way back
I’ll never find my way back home

[Bridge]
Ever after, I get further
Who will still be waiting
Ever after, it gets further
I can feel you fading
