Alchemy

I've seen the faces of the linemen 
The little black boxes of the shinemen 
Your train's delayed again, it seems 
Broken down in Alchemy 
I've seen in the order in confusion 
The empty hand behind illusion 
Our years of sad, sad company 
As just the place I was meant to be 
But you're still a model in a dream 
Broken down in Alchemy 

Say what you must my dear 
A plain man beyond repair 
His only goal just to be 
If but for one embrace  
Could salt your wounds with grace 
I'd give it all to see your face  
Just a-shining next to me 

I've seen the best minds lost in movement 
Fearful if only just to choose it 
Dissecting love to a degree 
Broken down in Alchemy 

We're just a moment and not to prove it 
To face the love, to move on through it. 
A simple choice for you and me 
Broken down in Alchemy
