Secret Machines Follow

I'm staring at the oldest light
But it won't burn out tonight
I'm looking through the coldest air
Rolling past the loch of waste
Inside the starry cage

I read about the ashes too
And what the wind had done to you
You're thinking of your newest thrill
You say you'd never but you know you will
You won't rest until

Is this the kind of love you could be proud of?
I wonder why you'd seen such a far away place
A story that won't come true
Remembering dreams to you
Is that all we had to look forward to?

I'm lying in a shuttered room
Held inside a bitter heart
Being pulled a million ways
But I won't be pulled apart
Maybe just at the seams

We've spent at least a thousand years
But we've still not found it here
Another minute standing still
You say you'll leave and I'm sure you will
You won't let me rest until

You found the kind of love you could be proud of
I wonder why you'd seen such a far away place
A story that won't come true
Remembering dreams to you
But is that all we had to look forward to?
