lyrics

How close have I come
To being who I was meant to be
No matter how hard we try
We’re all inefficient machines


So what does that say
About what we create

What do we do
When our plans dissipate

Looking down (At all the pieces)
Lying there (In total disrepair)
The shattered parts (Of what I said I’d be)
What is my destiny

Rusted and battered
The friction grinds down our gears
Electric resistance
Our circuits filled with fears
I can’t stand it

But what can be done
We’re all stuck here
In imperfection
Yet we keep reaching for
Something we can never have

You are not perfect
Neither are we
Nothing is perfect
And why should it be

Rusted and battered
The friction grinds down our gears
Electric resistance
Our circuits filled with fears
I can’t stand it
I had all these plans
Of who I was supposed to be

(We’re all inefficient machines) x 4

Nothing is perfect (We’re all)
And why should it be (Inefficient machines)
What’s the point in living (We’re all)
If we’re all machines (Inefficient machines)

Run down and tired
It’s built up over these years
Endless persistence
But then life interferes
I can’t stand it
I had all these plans
I can’t stand it
But what choice do I have

Inefficient machines
Inefficient machines
Inefficient machines
Inefficient humanity
