Elder Engineers Valiant Hearts

[Verse 1]
(Do you still feel?) Do you still feel the weakness in your knees
When you think about finally waking up from a dream?
These notions from another time spill from your head
So tell me, why do the words resound and shift in the narrative
As I read it slowly now?
So can we walk across, across the threshold
Before our hearts all give out?

[Verse 2]
I fear the gears and how they wind
Do you feel the gears ticking down inside your mind?
Do you feel the energy that we emit when we collide?
Will you run away with me somewhere we can hide?
To a workshop in need of your autonomic eyes
You carry all our weight
You're the desert's engineer by design (By design)
You stumbled all this way just to find out you’re not alive

[Pre-Chorus 1]
The stardust is thick in my lungs, we can’t breathe in
The nitrogen clicks and the cold deepens
Do you still feel, do you still feel-

[Chorus]
Do you still feel the weakness in your knees
When you think about finally waking up from a dream?
These notions from another time spill from your head
So tell me, why do the words resound and shift in the narrative
As I read it slowly now?
So can we walk across, across the threshold
Before our hearts all give out?
