impractical machine

Lyrics

if this city never sleeps, then i guess it never dreams, says the hipster to me, while up above, 8 million rise and feed, the impractical machine, love and death and routine, and soon enough, everybody's up and on their way, and leaving me behind, i'm half as far in twice the time, undefined, well if i never learn my name, i got no one else to blame, i lost my ticket for the train, ohhhh, so tell me where do i go now?, i'm just wandering around, gaining space and losing ground, profound and shallow, now if you catch your tail, did you win or did you fail?, ask the prophets or the rails. as for me, i think i understand, somethings slipping through my hands, lost my list of demands, and now i see, it's the one way out the only choice the reason for it all: we long to fly and learn to fall,
