lyrics

the scientist feeds on the ashes of his machine.
and as he cries, he wishes he could fall out of routine.
cause he wants to be like me, and i want to let him see.
what he doesn't know, i'm part of his machine.

the kids would wear their masks,
to hide their face,
from something so beautiful,
they call it mother nature's mistake.

the minister feeds on the ashes of his love.
a baby boy taken so early from above.
but he wants to see the grave, he wants to see his child's grave.
and oh, the father's face is part of his machine.

the kids would wear their masks,
to hide their face,
from something so beautiful,
they call it mother nature's mistake.

open your neptune eyes,
and see nothing but what's in my mind.
and i can feel god inside my bones.
he whispers so soft but it aches in my soul.
(your eyes are soaked in jewelry)

the scientist feeds on the ashes of his words,
and as he cries he sets fire to all the birds.
but he wants to be them, he wants to set his body free.
but he understands, he'll ruin the machine.

the kids would wear their masks,
to hide their face,
from something so beautiful,
they call it mother nature's mistake.
