Industrial Ruins/Clues to Lost Science

[Verse 1] Rust on the railings Windows punched out Teeth of glass Maps curled on the concrete Names half-burned into brass Chalk on the pillars Equations drowned in dust Someone chased a new sun here Someone learned not to trust [Chorus] Industrial ruins Clues to lost science Ghosts of a blueprint under my hands Cryptic writings Walls full of silence I trace the symbols Try to understand What did they build here? What did it cost them? Industrial ruins Clues to lost science Echoes of answers buried in sand [Verse 2] Pipes like frozen arteries Bolts still clinging to the frame Graffiti over diagrams New kids laughing at old flame Ledger in a locker Figures smudged but still in line “Test failed” in a shaky pen Circle drawn around the time [Chorus] Industrial ruins Clues to lost science Ghosts of a blueprint under my hands Cryptic writings Walls full of silence I trace the symbols Try to understand What did they build here? What did it cost them? Industrial ruins Clues to lost science Echoes of answers buried in sand [Bridge] Did they stand right here Waiting? (waiting) For a signal in the steam Did they hear the steel complaining When they pushed beyond the dream [Chorus] Industrial ruins Clues to lost science Ghosts of a blueprint under my hands Cryptic writings Walls full of silence I trace the symbols Try to understand What did they build here? What did it cost them? Industrial ruins Clues to lost science Echoes of answers buried in sand
