The mind is a machine
And the body is a phenomenal device
We tick to the meter of the heart
Every day we pay the price

I tried to reinvent the wheel
spinning senselessly with the stars
I was terrified of entropy and unwinding
Lit a fire and ended up behind bars

My only resolution is to keep learning
Expand my feeble mind
While weakening the beast within
And remembering to be kind

God is within you
The light never ends
The darkness is eternal
I think we'll make great friends

The mind is a machine
And this body is weak
Ticking out of time
Bow down to the meek
