"The Natural Heart" lyrics

A fading neon gleam casts shadows over stone
The city's shining skin is shedding from the bone
I've gone from pillar to pariah in the slide
In seas of doubt, I swim against the turning tide

Broken bodies line the walls
Midas empires crash and fall
Wings that melt when we try to soar
Close my eyes as I descend
To the gold rush at it's end
Take me back to before

This isn't human anymore
Look into the natural heart
Following the beat of the chemical
This isn't human anymore
Tearing the connections apart
Fallen at the feet of our pedestals
Are you still human at the core?

Pushin' the reflex, pressure the defects
Breakin' down is inevitable
Spraining the rivets, straining the limits
Breakin' down is inevitable

The ghosts of order dot the eye and tilt the three
I stalk the trinity into conspiracy

They painted masterworks and set them all alight
The scars of persecution always harden into spite

Broken bodies line the walls
Midas empires crash and fall
Wings that melt when we try to soar
Close my eyes as I descend
To the gold rush at it's end
Take me back to before

This isn't human anymore
Look into the natural heart
Following the beat of the chemical
This isn't human anymore
Tearing the connections apart
Fallen at the feet of our pedestals
Are you still human at the core?

Look into the natural heart
Don't let it turn to stone
Are you still human at the core?
Look into the natural heart
Don't let it turn to stone

Pushin' the reflex, pressure the defects
Breakin' down is inevitable
Spraining the rivets, straining the limits
Breakin' down is inevitable

Pushin' the reflex, pressure the defects
Breakin' down is inevitable
Spraining the rivets, straining the limits
Breakin' down is inevitable
