Awake in Ruins - Dryrot

Rusted bolt frozen gears[00:05.54]Gaskets cracked pins sheared[00:37.20]I woke the ground with wandering feet[00:41.18]A presence it's forgotten in its sleep[00:44.10]The last night wind carried my dreams[00:47.99]In which a distant city called to me[00:50.92]It beckoned me leave and begged me stay[00:54.88]I'm not sure that I knew I'd know the way[00:57.99]A machine seems like the key[01:01.64]Because I cannot trust my hands and feet[01:10.41]The red sun sets to mark a day[01:13.52]Of no more progress come my way[01:16.96]My journey is further delayed[01:21.10]Rusted bolt frozen gears[01:24.34]Gaskets cracked pins sheared[01:27.72]Rivets popped belts torn[01:31.21]Welds cracked treads worn[01:34.72]Wires frayed pressure gone[01:38.00]Surface warped timing wrong[01:41.50]Paint stripped shattered glass[01:44.92]Seats ripped out of gas[02:01.80]The red sun sets to mark a day[02:05.07]Of no more progress come my way[02:55.69]Breathe, breathe my new machine[02:59.08]Your blood of oil and gasoline[03:02.10]Provide delivery for all the times I have failed to reach[03:08.14]The work ahead of me is great[03:11.36]And I need the relief[03:13.98]Lest this ground become my grave due to misplaced belief[03:19.68]Rusted bolt frozen gears[03:22.94]Gaskets cracked pins sheared[03:26.47]Rivets popped belts torn[03:29.94]Welds cracked treads worn[03:33.50]Wires frayed pressure gone[03:36.74]Surface warped timing wrong[03:40.29]Paint stripped shattered glass[03:43.68]Seats ripped out of gas
