I feel the radiating heat falling off my engine As I sit by and partake in a ritual passed on from men before me The smoke hits my fingers and I know this is a religion that should be forgotten In my mind im trying to prepare for a service to a community I betrayed By getting behind a wheel while I was emotionally unvailable for those around me A sense of accomplishment inside me for fixing this now radiating engine that sits besides me just a few hours ago There's something to be said for hard work I'm doing okay I have a past, but it doesn't define me It let's me know that I'm just as human as anyone around And humbles me when that sense of accomplishment trys to turn into a beast of triumph that is above the world

I feel the radiating heat falling off my engine As I sit by and partake in a ritual passed on from men before me The smoke hits my fingers and I know this is a religion that should be forgotten In my mind im trying to prepare for a service to a community I betrayed By getting behind a wheel while I was emotionally unvailable for those around me A sense of accomplishment inside me for fixing this now radiating engine that sits besides me just a few hours ago There's something to be said for hard work I'm doing okay I have a past, but it doesn't define me It let's me know that I'm just as human as anyone around And humbles me when that sense of accomplishment trys to turn into a beast of triumph that is above the world
