The Engineer

Made course by age
Made course by age

Synthesized instincts, these actions aren't my own
A manufactured synergy more mechanical less organic
This force has set in motion, presupposing thought
A foreign second nature, some stranger's set up shop

I need to forget you
So I can focus on the life I am making
I need to forget you
So I can mend the mistakes I am making

Magnify the cells slowly degrading
The better sense of self, focus in more still
Cut out the debt, losses we won't regret

And we'll hold the same merits
And never jeopardize any part of them for indecision again
Avoid the sharp decent into decrepitness
Removing what distends

Consent to foot the cost of failing decency
A phantom limb distraught for what was in its place
Consent to foot the cost of failing decency
A phantom limb distraught for what was in its place

I need to forget you
So I can focus on the life I am making
I need to forget you
So I can mend the mistakes I am making

And we'll hold the same merits
And never jeopardize any part of them, for indecision again
And we'll hold the same merits
And never jeopardize any part of them, for indecision again

And be much better for it in the end
Removing what distends
And be much better for it in the end
