Osta Love - Translucent Engineering Lyrics

Here I stand, a figure by the road
My wife has left me and the car is long sold
Bygone the days when I was loved throughout the land,
Bestselling author, my name a famous brand

Behind the trees, where the hilltop meets the sky
Is where I used to go the let my mind fly high
Like rain the words were pouring down and lined up neatly on my string of thought,
I wove into the fabric of a dream

Soon I'll write again, I thought a while ago
I'll just sit down and watch the letters flow
Onto the paper, to form the story of
Two retired clergymen united in their scorn
But after the first page I can't carry on

Do you remember the flicker of the gas station light?
And do you recall the smell of the warm summer night?
You were sitting right beside me with that dog
And I just kept on driving into the fog

Do you remember?
Do you remember?

I do remember, but the words don't come out right
I try to focus, but the page is still white
Translucent engineering inside my mind
And everyone knows there's no comparison to find
Something's inside and needs to get out
To be diluted with doubt

The empty streets I'm walking, in search of inspiration
Remind me of another time
But just as suburban fences can't repel the shadows
I can't escape my dead mind

Translucent engineering inside my mind
And everyone knows there's no comparison to find
Something's inside and needs to get out
To be diluted with doubt
Translucent engineering inside my mind (inside my mind)
Translucent engineering so hard to find (so hard to find)

Translucent engineering forever entwined (forever entwined)
Translucent engineering absolutely combined (absolutely combined)
Translucent engineering inside my mind (inside my mind)
Translucent engineering so hard to find (so hard to find)
Translucent engineering forever entwined (forever entwined)
Translucent engineering absolutely combined (absolutely combined)
