Translucent Engineering Songtext
von Osta Love

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
To 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 dark 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
And just as suburban fences
Can't repel the shadows
I can′t escape my dead life


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
Translucent engineering so hard to find
Translucent engineering forever entwined
Translucent engineering absolutely combined

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