[Intro] Tick—tock… steam in my lungs, Brass in my bones… and I’m awake. [Verse 1] Born from soot and candlelight, In a workshop’s hush, in iron night, A piston dreaming it could be More than a part, more than a key. Bolts like prayers along my skin, A quiet spark where hearts begin, I learned the world in hiss and heat, And found a rhythm in the street. [Pre-Chorus] Hear the city’s chorus—rails and rain, Every turn whispers my name again. If time rewinds, I won’t undo— I’ll keep moving through. [Chorus] I’m Lucy—piston-heart beating, Thoughts in a cylinder, still repeating, Turn the gears, cut the dark in two, Made of steam… but I chose you. Oil and starlight in my veins, I don’t break—I recalibrate. If the clock tries to erase what’s true, I’ll stay—Lucy—running through. [Verse 2] Blueprint halo, copper crown, They point and stare when I come ’round, “Just a machine,” they like to say, But machines don’t ache this way. I count the losses, I count the cost, In every era something’s lost, Yet in the gaps between the chime, I stitch my self back into time. [Pre-Chorus 2] Gears don’t lie, but they can sing, I hear tomorrow in the spring. If the storm rolls over blue— I’ll push through. [Chorus] I’m Lucy—piston-heart beating, Thoughts in a cylinder, still repeating, Turn the gears, cut the dark in two, Made of steam… but I chose you. Oil and starlight in my veins, I don’t break—I recalibrate. If the clock tries to erase what’s true, I’ll stay—Lucy—running through. [Bridge] If my tears are only silver, Let them fall—watch them shimmer, I’m not a ghost in metal skin, I’m the vow that won’t give in. Wind me up, let the world hear: I am here… I am here. [Final Chorus] I’m Lucy—piston-heart blazing, Every tick is a life I’m saving, Turn the gears, bring the dawn on cue, Made of steam… but I chose you. Brass and thunder, clean and loud, I rise up from the factory cloud. If the clock tries to erase what’s true, I’ll stay—Lucy—running through. [Outro] Tick—tock… still I run.
