I had a dream yesterday night. I dreamt that I was visiting this friend's gig and watched them play a song called Steel Machines. I awoke before the song had finished the intro. I got up, and I felt inspired to write a song. So I quickly penned the lyrics before I left for lecture and found appropriate chords when I managed to get back to hall. It's my first time in a long time I've actually attempted to write a song (the last time, the outcome was so absolutely horrible that I blocked it from my memory)...
Hope you enjoy.
Steel Machines
Your mind starts to falter,
Your body it grows weak.
You're running round in circles,
For the treasure that you seek.
You see no glorious future,
Each morning that you wake.
Unsettled heart foreboding,
The day you're gonna make.
Steel machines,
The world has made you dry and cold.
Steel machines,
Jaded, listless, tired, old.
Steel machines,
Finding love to free their souls.
Your head it swirls, you're dizzy.
You can't tell truth from lies.
You drop the cross you carry.
The man behind you tries,
To reach out and speak to you,
But your ears are plugged in tight.
Your eyes are never seeing,
Covered from the light.
Steel machines,
The world has made you dry and cold.
Steel machines,
Jaded, listless, tired, old.
Steel machines,
The world has made you dry and cold.
Steel machines,
Jaded, listless, tired, old.
Steel machines,
Finding love to free their souls.
Steel machines,
Prophesy to these dry bones...
