Machines

I found wings in my attic
 One more superpower I've outgrown
 My brother has basketball practice
 I'm going to hit on the coach
 I saw Jesus Christ in a bookstore
 He looked burdened with all that belief
 He cut me in line without remorse
 Said "We're all powering the same machine"
 Oh-oh, grew up and learned the cost
 Oh-oh, I can't sleep this one off
 Now I know that I bleed months
 Oh-oh, but I was a machine once
 ♪
 I got drunk for the first time
 Or as drunk as my brain would permit
 I swayed beside a stuffed lion
 And briefly loved the scientist
 I think I saw God in the bathroom
 Some pretty girl was holding her hair back
 And I offered her fistfuls of tissues
 She bit back tears and told me not to do that
 Oh-oh, grew up and learned the cost
 Oh-oh, I can't sleep this one off
 Now I know that I bleed months
 Oh-oh, but I was a machine once
 ♪
 I saw this boy in a nightmare
 After I passed him on campus
 You know, the one I'm still scared of
 Even though nothing happened
 I shudder at what might have happened
 Growing up is bad dreams put in practice
 Oh-oh, grew up and learned the cost, oh-oh-oh
 ♪
 Oh-oh, grew up and learned the cost
 Oh-oh, I can't sleep this one off
 Now I know that I bleed months
 Oh, but I was a machine once
 ♪
 Oh-oh
 ♪
 Oh-oh
