Hunter Brookbank - Engineer Lyrics

Rose petals keep their slow burning hue
Long after sunlight has vanished from view
And rain falling has no guilt or shame
Mother Nature is to blame

Deep in the throat of self destruction
There's no eye, no peace in the hurricane
And deep in the search for reconstruction
There are still pieces to your name

And several days pass by like
Wind through the rain
And people know you but they
Don't know your name
And it's too late to hide yourself
And it's too late to pray
You smile, you blink, you laugh, you pay

On the sidewalk and I'll clock in today
I'll greet their faces, I won't have much to say
They'll ask me how I'm doing and I'll
Say I'm pretty good
There's never more, although I should

I do my work and then I head home for the night
I say goodbye to some, not all, but it's alright
They don't expect too much, I've made it quite clear
For what I'm not, I engineer

And several days pass by like
Wind through the rain
And people know you but they
Don't know your name
And it's too late to hide yourself
And it's too late to pray
You smile, you blink, you laugh, you pay

Passing by you'll see just small glimpses of me
You'll see my smile engineered so perfectly
But in the windows my reflection will pass by
It will not laugh, it will not cry

For all the engineers, I feel as though I'm one
We do not know each other, no we have no bond
The painted pictures that we fashion bleed the same
And it seems this is how we remain

And several days pass by like
Wind through the rain
And people know you but they
Don't know your name
And it's too late to hide yourself
And it's too late to pray
You smile, you blink, you laugh, you pay
Yeah yeah

And often we are full of love and full of care
I know we will not answer, but the answer is there
So when you speak to me just speak the way you would
And one day when I find an answer
I'll tell the world
