Eye Splice - Calm Down Todd Lyrics

Every piece must have a place
Every bolt and screw a space
Tendons and meat to strip away
Abandon the coil of dust and clay

Step by step by step
I must replace this failing flesh
Until I tear this vessel clean
To be reborn without this breath
And be machine

Trying to stretch beyond the veil
Trying to see the harvest fail
Escaping the path unto decay
Fading from black into the gray

Step by step by step
I must replace this failing flesh
Until I tear this vessel clean
To be reborn without this breath
And be machine

Rip out my lungs and
Pour steel to my spine
Drain me of mortal life
Make me divine
Blade of the reaper
Is crumbled to ash
Forever shall I last

A head of circuits now complete
A hand to hold eternity
A servant never more to bow
A Serpent within the Lion's house

Step by step by step
I walk above the reach of death and
By the grace of coal and steam
I am reborn into recalcitrant machine

Step by step by step by step
