Echo Drift - Burn Patterns Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Summer heat waves dance through rusty gates
Dad's silhouette against the factory's face
Cotton dust and iron dreams collide
Watching shadows where the memories hide

[Chorus]
The machines keep turning, burning through the day
While memories melt like plastic in the haze
Father's calloused hands, they fade away
In this industrial summer's burning rays

[Verse 2]
Sirens screaming through the factory floor
Red lights flashing, spinning through the door
Watching father's strength just slip away
As the gears kept turning anyway
In the haze of summer's cruel display

[Bridge]
Heat distorts the truth we knew
Warped reflections breaking through
Every summer brings it back
Like a record with a crack
Playing endlessly on track

[Verse 3]
Working class heroes fade to dust
In the empire built on sweat and rust
Broken dreams and twisted steel
Memories that I can't steal
From the furnace of my mind
Time keeps slipping, undefined

[Chorus]
The machines keep turning, burning through the day
While memories melt like plastic in the haze
Father's calloused hands, they fade away
In this industrial summer's burning rays

[Outro]
In waves of static, dreams dissolve
Like photographs left in the sun
The heat erases what we were
Until the memories come undone
Till nothing's left but summer's ghost
And echoes of machines long lost
