Lyrics Mechanics of My Heart - Peter Schilling

I work my fingers to the bone
Tirelessly refining the schematic
Just the thought of you is all that drives me on

I, I dug for treasure in my soul
Every rivet, every bolt is overloaded
The engine in me screams, I can′t control it

Are we too shattered to be fixed?
I guess that's just the way it is
I can′t revive this broken clockwork in the dark
And if the blueprint's gone forever
I can't put myself together
Only you know the mechanics of my heart

Are we too shattered to be fixed?
I guess that′s just the way it is
I can′t revive this broken clockwork in the dark
And if the blueprint's gone forever
I can′t put myself together
Only you know the mechanics of my heart

I hear the ghosts that haunt the system
Feel the code is self-destructing
Empty artificial souls, I lie motionless and cold

But still the wheels keep spinning through it all
We keep heading for the wall
Only you can grab the wheel, pull the plug and make it stop

Are we too shattered to be fixed?
I guess that's just the way it is
I can′t revive this broken clockwork in the dark
And if the blueprint's gone forever
I can′t put myself together
Only you know the mechanics of my heart

Are we too shattered to be fixed?
I guess that's just the way it is
I can't revive this broken clockwork in the dark
And if the blueprint′s gone forever
I can′t put myself together
Only you know the mechanics of my heart
