Mitch Allen - Hello, It's Me Lyrics

Beneath machinery I saw him
Contamination in the cogs
His mind was scattered on a fractal scene
That I could not define
The stars were misaligned and out of phase
Behind the smoke and moving glass
I thought for once that I could see his face
But I could never call it mine

Hello, it's me
I've been away and I can't answer the phone right now
I doubt I'll be around for anyone to reach me at home here on out
Oh, won't you please speak to me?

The weight of mercury ran through his veins
The taste of iron in his lungs
The dread kaleidoscope, its spinning ways
That I could not defy
Beneath machinery I saw him
Partitioned into here and gone
I understood him through a shattered screen
But I could never recognize

Hello, it's me
I've been away and I can't answer the phone right now
I doubt I'll be around to share a life with you in the sun
